Paraguayan driver Óscar Bittar enjoyed a successful day at the Monza circuit, claiming pole position and a victory in the Supersport GT-Italia championship. Piloting a Ferrari 296 Challenge, Bittar demonstrated strong performance throughout the event.
Bittar, sharing the car with Argentine driver Pablo Benites, secured the "pole position" for the third round of the championship. Starting from the front, the duo established a significant lead before a safety car period bunched the field. Following the restart, Bittar skillfully navigated the race, regaining the lead and ultimately crossing the finish line first to win the first race on Saturday.
The driver's strong pace allowed him to overcome positions lost during pit stops. Bittar's victory in race one sets him up for race two on Sunday, where he will start from second position, having secured this spot during earlier qualifying.
