Unfortunately today early in the morning rally Sanremo was cancelled. The organisators were forced to cancell event due to huge amounts of rain and thunderstorms. Roads are still flooded, some of them even damaged.....if Covid-19 does not "destroy" events, than the weather does it....
Rally Du Valli(CIR) next week ;)
Lt's hope no cancellation(neither for weather like Sanremo nor Covid19 virus) :mark:

Huttunen +23,5 sec

Does Fontana have some technical problems? How can he be so slow? 12th overall in a WRC car?!
Regrouping after the first loop: Very challenging conditions, we couldn't get a proper pace up to now.Quote:

Stage 6: Crungola crashed, Basso has doors wide open for the championship crown.
It is never over until end.....Basso made a mistake and crashed....
unbelievable mistake from Basso...
Huttunen leading Scandola with 56 sec and with only 1 stage and 4 km to finish
Huttunen’s stage win on SS7 put the pressure on Basso
no because they had half minute difference,and Basso was taking it easy just to finish the rally.Of course as we have seen plenty of times,mistakes can happen even when going slow.Quote:

He must have realized that pace on SS7 wouldn’t have been enough.
Amazing result from Huttunen, another tactical win this year!
not enough 29 sec for 14 stage kms?Quote:

He could afford to go even slower at stage 8 and 9 compared to stage 7.
It wasnt Huttunes pace the problem.
Basso was not interested in Huttunen as he was not scoring points to italian championship...Quote:

Good point.Quote:

Congratulations to Huttunen! Good job.
I remember the times when Italian drivers were called "tarmac specialists". Not anymore.
Today one would probably agree with this article ;)

And again title will be decided during Tuscan Rewind. I hope we'll not see any strange punctures...
Italy may be heavily affected by COVID-19, but there is no sign of crisis on the entry list for Rally Tuscan Rewind - there 34 R5 cars and 113 crews on it. This event will decide who will be the 2020 Italian rally champion.

Either Basso or Crugnola will win the championship. But I think that Albertini, Signor and Re also have a small theoretical chance.
Re and Albertini are not on the entry list.Quote:

Watch also Franceschi times.

comments after ss 6
Andrea Crugnola: In my opinion we are doing well, let's try to go on like this 8.05.7
Marquito Bulacia: We have improved a lot, we have more confidence 8: 05.3
J.B. Franceschi: he was a bit disconcerted because the plexiglass of the door came off and dust entered 8: 03.0
Alberto Battistolli: in our times there is progression so we are super happy 8: 10.9
Giandomenico Basso: we are trying to push but to tell the truth I have no feeling with the car, I am not driving as I would come, I cannot express myself, I am not even having fun, I have to try to understand what is in the car, in order to be able to push harder. So it doesn't make sense. Andrea is distant, almost impossible to catch.
one stage to finish.Bulacia leading,Crugnola has 22 sec diff from Basso and just 14 km to take the crown.

Basso lost the race already on 2nd stage, when he spun...Quote:

I was not expecting Bulacia to be that fast, very positive surprise to me.
at last rallies he had progressed a lot.Quote:
