Said but true..
How much worth you are in WRC?
It depends how much money You have..
That's why I like what Loeb did 'cos he wasn't any kind of rich guy before WRC.. Let's hope Galli will find some money for Sardinia..

A 207,Fabia or Grande Punto would look great in a full-Pirelli livery for a ERC/IRC campaign......

on the stages of the INA Croatia Delta Rally!!!! ;)

He was very close to starts in IRC two years ago (thats why Ralliart Italy registered Mitsubishi into IRC), but finally he got offer for start in WRC...

I saw his first visit with Ford Escort A8 in Martini colours..
He overtook on stage Niko Pulić for minute and after that Niko pullover and said engine is dead. Astra racing boys came for their Lancia and put computer on it but car was ok.. That's only rumours from Croatian drivers.. Maybe jelausy..

Gigi, in an interview made by the magazine where I work, said that he needs 600.000 € to fill a budget for 5 or 6 events.

Go to IRC Gigi please ... only drive Sardinia and Finland in WRC, that's all :P !

Too late for Norway, pity ... snow is his favourite surface :\

He won't enter the IRC, he doesn't like the IRC cars, no turbo bla bla bla.... but that's what i heard over a year ago, before the 2008 season started :(

At the moment he's looking for sponsors to enter WRC rounds...

1997 I guess.. Nice driving through people on SSS in Celica..

He won't enter the IRC, he doesn't like the IRC cars,

Has he actually driven one? Most who have seem to enjoy them. It doesn't seem like a very wise option to limit your options like this when there are so few drives available.

He could always enter a Mitsu in IRC :)

Besides, IRC would be cheaper than WRC.

I am sure he would drive if the deal is good enough, Imperatore pls give the man a call - would love to see him in one of your Polos !!

Last week he joined "Races on Ice", in Livigno of course ... feat. Jorge Lorenzo, Marco Simoncelli, Alex De Angelis, Marku Allen, Mattia Pasini, Loris Capirossi, Marco Melandri and some famous italian tv reporters like Guido Meda, Paolo Beltramo ...

Strange rumour of Galli in a Skoda S2000 at CIR(italian championship), from this week's Autosprint mag :confused:

Don't know why I don't believe that :mark:

So the Corolla is Gigi's weekend car?

I love the photos.... a variety of cars from WRC Corolla, Focus and STi... S2000 Pugs and Corolla, to Grp N. Impreza's and Lancer Evo's!

This info isnt so much serious. Campedelli should start with their Fabia, but later in season as there is no free Fabia yet. Gigi Galli? I dont believe...

I am amazed that Galli can not find a sponsor for WRC or IRC - or is he not a sponsor's dream outside the track ?

Galli has been invited by Beta Internacional to test a Porsche 997 GT3 in Portugal.

On today Studio Sport ("Italia 1" tv network daily sport magazine) Rally Cyprus coverage Guido Meda has just said that Gigi is confirmed to join WRC in some rallies with a Stobart Focus.
Hope it's not false ... but Guidone is quite trustworthy I think :p
