Three drivers from the Island Car Club (ICC) will be in Sicily this weekend, competing at the three-kilometre hill climb at Adrano, south of the Etna. The Adrano Hill Climb is organised by Nando Salerno, on behalf of UISP and CONI, and has attracted an entry of 180 cars.

The three Grimaldi Team Malta drivers are 2008 ICC Hill Climb and Sprint champion Joshua Anastasi, driving his home-built JBR3 powered by a Kawasaki ZZR14 engine, veteran David Anastasi with his crowd-pulling Mini Doda powered by a Honda Blackbird 1200 engine, and Edward Calleja. He will be driving a newly-built Lotus Elan powered by a Honda 1800 engine.

David, racing in the Supersalite class up to 1200, will be in one of the most competitive classes with a reputed 15 entries this time. Thanks to the fact that he has so far always managed to beat them all and win his class, he now heads the Sicilian Regional Hill Climb Championship with just this last round to go.

Joshua, too, heads his class and is also well placed for an overall award. He was the overall winner at Vittoria, where he demolished the circuit record.

By Sunday evening the Maltese drivers will have raced in four rounds of the Sicilian championship this year.

Grimaldi Team Malta driver Zach Zammit started things on the right foot when he won at Cesaro. Multiple Malta champion Hubert Camilleri followed this up with a fine win at the Etna, and Joshua Anastasi made it three out of three for Malta at Vittoria two weekends ago.

The team is managed by veteran Joe Anastasi.
