Is this just a joke ?? Basso in a Fiesta R5 powered by a Gas?? To be on a safe side: is this even allowed by the FIA rules?? I know that Stohl racing from Austria runs a mitsu evo9 powered by a gas, but is this so simple ?? You turn a car on a gas power and that is all?

FIA rules dont allow it. But national federation can allow it national championship.

Glorious double victory for family Re at Franciacorta Circuit Rally !! Father Felice in front if his son Alessandro ! All I can say : wish there would be more fathers like Felice and would alow their sons to drive WRC car !! Thank you Felice, a great example for other wealthy fathers.

Stefano is real junior. If I am correct, he is something around 27?

I would not call this as a big success for Stefano....By the way he drove with P207 S2000 whole 2013 season in the International Rally Cup (I.R.C.) in Italy, he was by far the fastest with N/A car...just behind WRC's drivers.
Ok, he has an agreement with Racing Lions for CIR, which is the highest level in Italy, maybe that will lead for 2015 in something more interseting (if Andreucci will quit and Stefano will be his replacement...)...
We will see, for the moment Stefano will strugle ''just'' with FWD.....

I also think this is not the best choice for him...

Yes, it's not a step forward for Albertini for sure. But still it's better than nothing...
