Basso's start on Motne isnt important for decisions about CIR. Skoda Italy has list of good drivers to choose one or two for CIR.

The Italian web site rallylink has published results of on-line selection for the Italian rally personality of the year 2010 (Il Personaggio del Rally 2010). The winner is Robert Kubica, with small lag second place won Luca Pedersoli.
The greatest young hope is according to Italian web site Andrea Crungola.
Congratulations to both of them!!

What is Luca Rossetti going to do this year?

I am sure that his programme for season 2011 will be presented soon ;)

Rossetti was seen at Monte Carlo as one of the ice-spy for one of the Skoda team driver. Maybe this is a hint for his future????

Second very important information: TRA champion Luca Pedersoli will drive in this season C4 WRC !!!

This coming week-end is Exporally in Italy, and traditionally many drivers/teams present their program there ;)

Piero Longhi will drive a Mini in the Italian championship this year! ;)

In TRT ;)
