After Maglioli damaged the car ( chassis 0358AM ) took 0320AM and established a record three races in the last three steps. Maglioli pushed the car at speeds well over 175 mph! Despite this and even if he won the final three legs, your combined runs only one earned him sixth overall. This car was originally assigned to Sig. Ricci and Salviati.
