10-11 May 2014
The second act of the Audi Melges 20 2014 Audi Tron Sailing Series has concluded with congratulations in full order for Dario Levi, tactician Nicolo Bianchi and crew member Stefano Lagi aboard Fremito D'Arja. Finishing second overall is Pasquale Orofino aboard Raffica and in third, was Giancarlo Capolino's Legionario.
An additional two races were completed on Sunday, to make a total six races complete for the Porto Ercole edition. With the sixth race complete, discards went into play, enabling Levi to secure his first place position.
Orofino's standard day of a 6-4 result, forced him to drop his Race 2 twelfth place finish to maintain second place. Marco Franchini's Mezza Luna slipped a notch from third to complete the event in fourth overall. Guido Miani aboard Monaco Racing Fleet recovered nicely after a difficult day on Saturday to round out the top five.
As in the past, the start of the Audi Tron Sailing Series means the return of the Audi test drives too. Located at the De Angelis pier, anyone can get behind the wheel of flagship models such as the A3 g-tron, S3 Sportback, A1 Sportback, SQ5 or RS6.
