Teams who participated in the Class 3, 6 litre World Championship in Nettuno were invited to participate in the X-CAT Invitation Challenge, which will take place in Stresa during the weekend of the Class 1 Italian Grand Prix, and they accepted unanimously. “The event in Stresa will give us the opportunity to evaluate the integration of the Class 3, 6 litre series into Class 1 events,” said WPPA Race Director and X-Cat coordinator, Rory Power. “This is very important, as it will enable us to check the validity of the project, which is something we have been discussing with Class 1 for some time now. The idea of running the X-CAT series alongside that of Class 1 has the aim of enriching the events with a class which we consider particularly spectacular and which definitely represents the best stepping stone for entering Class 1.”
Nine Teams will line up in Stresa for the X-CAT Invitation Challenge; official practice will take place on Friday, 2 October at 16.30hrs, with race 1 and race 2 on Saturday and Sunday at 13.30hrs.
