Italian Rally News

Latest rumour from the Ciocco area: Citroën Italia would hire another italian top driver for CIRA(alongside with Andrea Crugnola)after this event, and it could be Andrea Mabellini :confused:

But if this is the case, not sure Mabellini would continue in ERC this season(Citroën Italia prefers concentrating in italian championship) :mark:

could be, mabellini leaving mrf suggests other plans, erc on his own is hard, cira easier...

ADD ON: trony, new sponsor of Crugnola, was previously a sponsor for Mabellini

Fabio Andolfi will drive the official Toyota in next week Rally Regione Piemonte(CIRA)!

Thomas Paperini seems to have been a bit more seriously injured in the crash of Rally Ciocco :mark:

Strange that Giando Basso hasn't been Toyota Italia choice :confused:

Giando has agreement for full season with Delta and Skoda.
 
Big debut for the new Lancia Ypsilon Rally4 this weekend at the Rally Regione Piemonte, second round of the italian championship(CIRA) :D

Although the Trofeo Lancia will be on the Targa Florio next month, a few Ypsilon will run this event(including the CIRA 2WD champion, Gianandrea Pisani) ;)

Shakedown of the Regione Piemonte is about to start, and you can already see pictures of the different cars on http://www.rallylink.it/cms25/piemonte-2025 :cool:
 
Big performance by young Swede Patrik Hallberg in Rally Regione Piemonte, leading the Rally4/2WD class ahead of the Italians who are fighting one another for this position :eek:

I know Hallberg isn't registered in the CIRA championship(and will not take points from the Italians), but this performance is still remarkable :)
 
Polish driver Michal Streer will do a season in Italy: this weekend he's on the Rally Città di Modena with a 208 Rally4, then he will switch to the Lancia Ypsilon ;)
 
Isn't it weird that Jaspar Vaher will discover the Lancia on tarmac(Rally Elba)rather than on gravel(Rally Adriatico), when Hungary ERC Junior will run on gravel too :confused:
