The Autodromo Nazionale di Monza will be the fourth venue for ACCELERATION 2014 from 6 to 8 June 2014. FA1 cars, MW-V6 Pickups and Legend Supercup will form the starting grids on this legendary Italian track. In addition, the BOSS GP championship will join ACCELERATION in Monza to create a wide variety of car races. Targeted towards families, ACCELERATION offers three days of races and music performances.
Italian race fans will cheer the reigning Megane Eurocup champion Mirko Bortolotti. Driving for FA1 team Italy, or better said Team Ghinzani, Bortolotti is on top in the championship standings after three race weekends. “The team wants me to keep running, so I’m looking forward to drive our home race. Monza is quite a special track for me, because I won the Formula 2 championship there in 2011. I got good memories on that track and I really like it as well. I look forward to race there and hopefully we can have the same good results as we had this far”, said Bortolotti.
