After 1st short leg everything in order: Pedersoli ahead of Re and Porro :p :
Big battle in S2000 between Depau and di Benedetto ;)
Inferior?? Why?? If you would read an interview made with P.Porro two years ago, he admitted that they all (gentelman drivers-him, Re, Silva, Pedersoli, Oldrati...) are using yust app.70 to maximum 80% of potential of these vehicles, so there is still some ''gap'' for improvements....When you are driving on a full, using last atoms of vehicles capacity, then you can complain over unequal position, but until they are yust ''crusing'', it doesn't matter if you drive Focus '06, Xsara, C4, 307.....Quote:

Or P.G.Deila three years ago-also with P206 WRC, all the rest with 307, Xsara, Focus...he won two rallies, but was forced to quit due to lack of money....
I respect all those gentelman drivers, I'm a big fan of Re, but they are really yust Sunday drivers....Chentre was a champion in 2009 for several races before the end of the seson. The same story in Italian IRC, two years ago Cunico ''destroyed'' competition (Lucciani, Sora, Oldrati...).
Hmm, still driving a car A on 70% is still faster than driving car B on 70% if car A is faster. So if drivers are quite equal the machinery counts, no matter how good drivers they are. Even if they drive both their cars on 20%, still the one with better car is faster ;)
Two more stages to the end of Aosta; Pede is in a lead by yust 5,7 seconds, Re is second. All others are ''second league''.....
The Focus is slower than Citroen on tarmac , and his spec is 2006 , while I believe Pede and Re got 2008 version C4s . It doesn't matter comparing them with good drivers because all 3 of them are gentelamn drivers . Now the difference between Porro and Pede&Re is realistic ;)
Congratulations to Pedersoli&Romano, also a very good performance by Felice Re (mistake on stage4 cost him a victory). Both Re and Pedersoli won all stages, they really dominated this rally.
Next week(hopefully tomorrow)we'll get entrylist of Rally Costa Smeralda, common event o CIR and TRT(italian championship + gravel) ;)
While waiting for the entry list we can sing a song about Luca Rossetti, can somebody translate the lyrics? ;)
