Losing an FIA title at the last race obviously makes you feel regret, but at the same time being European Vice-Champions and having many competitive drivers in the OK direct drive top class, above all offers many reasons for satisfaction for the CRG colours. Gabriel Gomez's season was exceptional in the FIA ​​European Championship and only in the last decisive race the Brazilian driver did fail to express himself on podium levels like he did in the first 3 Rounds, when he had often dominated the scene. As in the exceptional race in the Czech Republic, when he got on the top step of the podium, after obtaining the Pole Position and dominating all the Qualifying races. A Heat lost due to a technical problem and an unlucky start in the Final influenced the Cremona weekend, but above all a feeling with the setup and the circuit that has never been exceptional during this appointment. As mentioned, however, the balance of his season remains very positive and being Vice-Champion of Europe will have to be the impetus to go to the FIA ​​World Championship in October among the favorites for the title.

After the enthusiastic Finals, the general positive feeling about the organisation and the quality of the races only served to confirm the Rotax MAX Challenge International Trophy's privileged position on the international scene. The variable weather did nothing to tarnish the reputation of the event, whose high level of competitiveness won over the participants. Winners Emerson MacAndrew-Ursen (GBR) in Micro Max, Albert Friend (GBR) in Mini Max, Tom Dussol (FRA) in Junior Max, Ethan Jeff-Hall (GBR) in Senior Max, Antoine Barbaroux (FRA) in DD2 Max and Maxime Gravouille (FRA) in DD2 Max Masters were all smiling at the prospect of their forthcoming participation in the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Final in Bahrain.
