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:

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 ;)

A couple of drivers from the European Championship are going to compete in Rally Adriatico, as a preparation for Rally Hungary:

Return of Andrea Nucita, this time in a Citroën(from DMax)for the IRC championship! :D

[Tom206wrc]

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:

[Jarek Z]

Battistoli wins Rally Adriatico, the 3rd round of Italian gravel championship, Ciuffi is second and Marczyk third.

What happened with the FICR website :confused:
Impossible to get results of several italian rallies of the weekend because the italian "cronometristi" website is out of order since sunday morning :mad: :(

EWRC-Results has Emil Lindholm car 2 excluded at Rally Terra Sarda, Sardinia. 19.10.2025

Is there a note somewhere with the reason. Or is the 'paperwork' witheld if there is an appeal even if the results have been published? or is there a not in the Clerk of the Course/ Stewards' decisions?

Grok says Car #2 Lindholm lost over 6 minutes on Stage 7 (the final stage, Lanusei 2 for whatever mystery reason), which dropped car 2 to 13th (at the end of the stage results) and car #2 did not enter Parc Ferme at the end of the event for which they were excluded.

Haydon says on his facebook page that Emil had an accident on the final stage that handed them the win.

Hi, could you please tell me if there are any Italian forums where people discuss rally events in Italy?
