That is ridiculous to allow a talent like that to almost drop completely off the radar. Thanks for the info.

This series is dead unless someone injects some cash.

lol, and two days ago I read about their grandiose plans for the future.

There's a lot of cocaine around in Italy, isn't there?

Things look quite messy, but Superstars appears to be reborn as Euro V8 Series and will run a six races schedule for this season only.

From 2015 on, a new sanctioning body (led by Daniele Audetto) will take over and the series will be renamed Super Touring Series.

2014 calendar:

Apr 6th – Monza, Italy
May 4th – Vallelunga, Italy
May 18th – Mugello, Italy
Jun 22nd – Brno, Czech Republic
Sept 21st – Sachsenring, Germany
Oct 5th – Hockenheim, Germany

That commentator is a total dumbass. I haven't watched this series for a couple of years but he's still as bad as he was then. Let's see:
- A car smoking coming out of a corner = a lock up :slaphead:

- Thinking Schiattarella's was car smoking from the exhaust when it clearly wasn't :slaphead:

- Constantly mispronouncing drivers' and teams' names incorrectly, sometimes calling them something else entirely :slaphead:

- Referring to the drivers as riders :slaphead:

- Eddie Cheever commentates on NASCAR, apparently :slaphead:

- A couple of years ago in a GT Sprint race I remember a Ferrari having an obvious rear tyre failure and spinning off. Even after a close-up slow-motion replay the dipshit still thought "he just lost it" :slaphead:

He has an incredibly obnoxious manner of speaking, too.
