Why on earth would Skoda Italia go with DMacks for a largely asphalt championship?

This is incredible Skoda Italia chose the chinese crap DMack tyres for Umberto Scandola !!! Look at how difficulties he meets on the Ciocco Rally

Except money advantages(these tyres shouldn't be expensive at all compared to Michelin/Pirelli)I don't see the point

Maybe they will also help financially the team.Like in the past with m sport when they were paying for the third car.

[Ucci]

A perfect start for the old Italian rally star.....Andreucci's victory was never in danger, he just routinely retained the relatively small advantage, made today no mistake whatsoever.....victory for a textbook.
What about others: Crungola definetely a positive surprise, was all the time close to Ucci; sometimes even faster.
Cempedelli showed many times he can challenge Ucci, this time he had one flat tyre, so the dreams for the victory were immediately history.
Pollara-slow....
Gryazin-I expected more from him, if we exclude lose of time due to flat tyre on 9th stage, he was loosing constantly around 1sec/km....sometimes even more.
Both Japan guests-very solide; most important: no mistakes.

Gryazin-I expected more from him,

Me too, although his main experience and best performances have been on gravel.

Is he doing full CIR?
