1999 Italian Superturismo Championship
The 1999 Italian Superturismo Championship season was the thirteenth and last edition of the Italian Superturismo Championship. The season began in Misano on 17 April and finished in Vallelunga on 10 October, after ten rounds.
Season summary
[edit]With the withdrawal of Audi the fight for the victory was between only 2 Manufactures (Alfa Romeo and BMW) and only 4 official drivers. Due to the lot of problems had the previous year and the poor tv coverage just 6 private drivers confirmed their participation into the series. The consequence was that the grid was made just by 10 cars.
Once again the driver's championship was between Fabrizio Giovanardi and Emanuele Naspetti. In the beginning of the season Naspetti and BMW were able to score 5 victories on 6 races. Giovanardi and Alfa were finally able to get a double victory only in the fourth round in Pergusa. During the rest of the season Naspetti and Giovanardi switched each other on the top of the standing and arrived to the final round separated by just 1 point.
In the final round Giovanardi was able to win the race and the championship as well, on the wheel of Alfa Romeo 156; the Italian manufacturer won the constructors' championship, while Roberto Colciago took the privateers' trophy.
The last year of Superturismo was remembered also cause for first time a private driver Roberto Colciago won 4 races against the official drivers. Colciago although a private Audi A4 Quattro was able to win in the slow tracks and thanks to his consistency taking points in all 20 races he arrived in the last round with still the theorical possibility to win the italian title.
With the end of Italian Superturismo and on the same time the end of STW, the Teams (Nordauto, Cibiemme, AGS, Christy's Team, Soli Racing and Nath Racing) together with some privates team of German Supertouring (STW) decided to create the European Super Touring Cup.
