, the way of "warming up the tires" before the show test last night by Damiano De Tommaso, was not liked by the Stewards who imposed a 20 second penalty on the driver from Varese. Then the classification changes and from being an excellent fourth in the general classification at the end of the first stage, Damiano finds himself tenth.
Stage is live.
Fabio Andolfi clipped a hay bale but still sets the quickest time so far. Yoann Bonato went off in 5th gear but luckily no damage on the car!

Differences yesterday night may seem extremely small, but there was only 67km of stages covered so far... 123km of special stages today.

Lyukyanuk accident in the SS 9
Guigou 3th overall with the Alpine in SS9 :D
Who was in the stage when Luky went off?
Breen said he had red flagQuote:

Lukyanuk's car looks ok - thankfully the fire was only very small.
So what happened to the C3 of Luky?
Did it just catch fire?
He hit a olive tree and car caught fire afterwards. Both are OK.Quote:

Solberg came up as finished on ss9, but not Torn.
Edit; Result from Torn came in late, not sure why.
On first stage in the morning Luky already said he is loosing rear of the car. The accident took place on last stage of the loop and at the end of it, so my guess is tires was worn out and he simply lost the grip.

Unfortunately, this rally is over for us. At the SS Santopadre we slipped on the sand, went off the track a little bit,but hit a tree with our rear wheel, broke the lever and got stuck. There was grass under the car that caught fire a few minutes later–we used a fire extinguisher
It is lucky that there was a household nearby from where they brought us some water – we flooded the whole thing. So lucky!

Even Lukyanuk's crash won't help Mikkelsen to take over the lead in the champinship. If my calculations are right Luky will remain in the first place after this event.Quote:

Oscar Solberg is off the road in SS12. Crew OK.

Lukyanuk confirmed that it is planned that his Citroën will be brought to parc fermé in Fiuggi in order for him to claim the three day bonus points from leg one. “I don’t think it will play a role in the championship but let’s do it,” the Russian driver said.

*Update*
Oscar Solberg made it to the finish of SS12
Great solid drives by Herczig, Llarena & Marczyk putting the big names in the shade.
Seven Fabias in top ten. Surprising for me here in Rome because that's like in Czech championship where few other cars run...
Also as already mentioned - with such an obvious dominance of Škodas in this event the performance of Mikkelsen (only seventh best of Škoda drivers) looks really disturbing. He seems to be quite lost this season.
Well it was brought up before the rally who of the 4 "top" pilots will adapt best from and in the end all 4 had bad rally:
Going by result:
Mikkelsen - "suffered" 8th place with very bad first day, most notably two passes of the long stage that was full downhill where he lost half of his 1 min at the end. Pace around the "non Italians" on day two but still says he doesn't work with the car at all on this tarmac. Getting a bit of a pattern, just like in Poland first rally on different type of surface on new tires with very limited testing and bad setup. First time ever here while everyone else in top 10 has been here 2+ times but dimvii will tell you that's just an excuse.
Breen - also "suffered" 9th which on MRF tires doesn't sound too bad, but he was 4th here last year and has done 3 Italian rounds already this year, winning one and finish 2nd on another (on Pirelli). Most interesting how he at the end of every stage says that he enjoys everything and is so happy to be here, some hard PR drill from MRF.
Gryazin - only one of these 4 to even win a single stage, yet his pace even without the two punctures (+ last stage) was somewhere around Lukyanuk, so 3-4ish. Also lost a lot of time on the "downhill" stage like Mikkelsen. Can be argued that his startingposition pick on day one contributed to the first puncture.
Lukyanuk - "saved" by new dampers from France overnight after very slow qualifying and show stage, yet even with that "save" was clearly behind those two Italians and started to loose even more before crashing. Somehow the biggest difference since he won here last year in "almost" same car by winning all stages on day 1. This year didn't win a single one.
Final point is that the competition level was much higher that last year. Last year Solberg was 3th 1min behind. This year 1 min behind was 7-ish.
Obviously he was lost here.Quote:
