NEWS [ 100 ] - 31 Oct 2007 RUSSIAN DOMINATION IN SUPER PRODUCTION
The Russian drivers continued to dominate the Super Production class. After Alexander Lvov and Timur Sadredinov finished first and second in the 2006 FIA Euro Cup at Estoril, Super Production produced and all-Russian podium in Adria. Aleksey Basov won both races at the wheel of the Rostokino-Lada Honda Civic Type-R, while his team-mate Nikolay Agapov and Aimol Racing’s Arkadiy Pavlovskiy in an Opel Astra Coupé claimed one second apiece and classified second and third in the points respectively. Two other potential contenders, both at the wheel of BMW 320i cars, Italian Fabio Fabiani who had set pole position and Anton Markin who finished third in Race 1, eliminated each other in a collision. This success was the icing on the cake for Basov, a 30-years old from Kaliningrad, as earlier during the current season he had been crowned Russian champion in the Super Production class.
