ASM Autocross at Ta’Qali and Motocross Riders in FMI Championship races

The Autocross Class A Championship points scale shows Christian Galea on his Fiat Ritmo is currently leading with 80 points. Patrick Cassar on his Opel Corsa is Runner-up with 71 points. Matthew Borg is currently leading the Autocross Class ‘B’ on his Vauxhall Nova with 49 points. Mario Scicluna is Runner-up on his Opel Nova with 43 points. The competition for the lead is high with two more events to the Championships Finals and 18 points to be won and the Championship Winners and Runner-up will be identified.
 
Following a penalty flag during the qualifying heats to Christian Calleja on his Opel Corsa the ASM Board of Discipline had to suspend Calleja, his two brothers Joseph & Roderick and another driver Godwin Martin from taking part in any and all ASM activities of any kind for aggregating an ASM Officer. Legal action is being taken against the four persons involved to safeguard other drivers and the sport.
 
The Trials Section of the ASM held the 2nd Championship event for this season where 14 riders took part in Classes A and B according to their level of Trials Riding. Each competitor had to attempt 6 natural obstacles called sections but the most difficult obstacles of all were allocated for the more professional riders of Class A. Damon Bonello, Robert Caruana and Gray Debono all did very well in the first four sections. Later, James Zahra who also rides in Motocross, showed great pressure to his fellow competitors and was battling with for the lead, mainly with  Damon Bonello who lost some to James Zahra and had to be satisfied with 2nd place.
In Class B Trials, David Dimech showed his skills in Trials and won this Class B for the 2nd consecutive placeing. Jonathan Camilleri and Wayne Zahra both on GasGas m.cycles placed 2nd and 3rd respectively.
