And Ucci won the Rally Val d'Orcia, second round of italian gravel :cool:

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:

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: :(
