Italian Rally News

[AL14]

Here I am, again. I know I'm monopolizing this thread my friend. But I have another rumor to share with you.

Kalle Rovampera is rumored to participating at CIR as well. I don't think it will be at every event (since ciocco is just 3 weeks away) but if italian authorities will give the authorization he could be there for a number of event.

I repeat it's just rumor but not a little one.

It was going to be boring but it is actually shaping as an exciting one:

Ucci, Nucita, Scandola and probably Campedelli will all compete for the championship, with Perico, and maybe Chentre and Colombini who can win single rallys.

See? It seems you were too pessimistic!

I also heard something about two Hyundais - one for Chentre and one for Gabriele Ciavarella:

Campedelli in with Ford Fiesta R5 sponsored by Orange1.

Fun fact: Scandola have been the gravel crew for Basso in Monte this year he said Basso is a friend and he was glad to be his gravel crew. He also wished him all the best in WRC2.

That's what you call a gentleman.

Italy Admits Under-Age Rally Drivers
Revised regulations from the Italian federation will permit foreign rally drivers under the age of 18 to compete in their country.
Conditions are that the driver must produce the written consent of both parents, the driver must pass successfully a driving test at the Federal School, the codriver must be over 18 and holder of a a driving license and international license, and the codriver must drive the road sections, immediately after leaving the time control zone.
During the reconnaissance the juvenile driver may be transported in the car as a third person but not drive the car.
Following the permission granted by his native Finnish federation to allow 16 year old Kalle Rovanpera to compete in his own country, Rovanpera has recently been testing in Italy on tarmac and gravel, with different R5 specification cars, in the hope that Italian federation officials would permit him to compete in their country as well.
Interesting to note that both Jari-Matti Latvala and Mikko Hirvonen both spent time competing on small events in Italy in their early days, albeit not so young as Rovanpera will be.

Interesting. According to @autosprint, Kalle Rovanperä could challenge the Italian Championship with a 208 T16 R5 teaming with Andreucci. #CIR
