Excellent work of the Avon that grows along with the Osella PA 2000 of a concrete Christian Merli!

20-07-2014-2Fasano (Br), July 20, 2014. The hard work and collaboration between Avon, Merli and Osella begins to bear fruit. The pre-race of the CIVM race was the first opportunity to test at the Autodromo del Levante the new compounds developed for the shorter races and with a little abrasive mantle such as the Fasano Selva Cup. Walter Maganza, General Manager of the "Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. Italia" has intensified Avon Motorsport's commitment to the time trial last year with the birth of the Osella PA 2000 and continues to develop, in collaboration with Merli and Osella, covers requirements of this type of competition, i.e. maximum grip from the first corner with often slippery road manta rays.

The work done in Binetto, with the support of the "Motorsport Technical Manager" Mike Lynch from England and the supervision of Enzo Osella has already given very positive results. Merli took advantage of Saturday's two test climbs for a direct comparison between the most suitable compounds and then aiming for the performance in the race. The result was excellent, on a short course (5600 m) and with very slippery asphalt, Merli pututo attack from the start getting for the first time record times even in the first intermediates.

Maganza assures us that Avon will be quick to put the new specifications into production in order to offer at least three different compounds to manage the various types of route. Iaquinta's strong success with the Osella PA21 Evo shows that standards already offer record-breaking performance. Now we count on the LRM for the further step forward of the Osella PA 2000, it is expected soon the engine by Honda evo 2014 that should allow Merli to tackle the races with a few more horses after the last positive improvements in balance and aerodynamics.

The race in The Fasanese in addition to the triumph of Christian Merli sees the podium of the absolute shared with Leogrande (Osella FA 30) and Scola (Osella PA 2000), the usual exciting duel between the Osella PA21 Evo CN with Rosario Iaquinta again winner in front of Magliona and Conticelli.

Next challenge on August 3rd in Calabria for the reventino time trial (Cz).
