VICTORY for Paolo Andreucci at the Rally del Friuli :bounce:
Giando Basso and Alex Perico finished on the podium... ;)
Big unluck for Umberto Scandola who lost almost 4 minutes after having hit something on the previous stage(possible suspension damage)and finished only 5th... :mark:
Congrats to Ucci-Ussi! Very important victory, especialy for Peugeot with their tragedy at Barum....
Basso can be happy for second position, problems on friday ruined his race.
Perico-slowley gaining coinfidence in new car. Hey, two P208 R5 on podium. Unbelivale...
Umby Scandola-with his mistake on the last stage the fight for championship is totally open.
Huge success for family Re at yesterday's Rally Valli Cuneesi: father Felice won the race itself thanks to misfortune of his biggest rival Corrado Fontana (he suffered double tyre puncture and left without spare...). Because of this victory Felice Re has become also a champion of I.R.C. 2014 trophy. He is a true sportsman and admitted that Corrado is a moral winner, but rally is a complex sport and being just fast is (somethimes) not enough. Anyway, also Felice had in his earlier career his share of bad luck, so this is kind of consolation for all his efforts.
His son Alessandro has become a champion in S2000/RRC/R5 class.
As Italians would say : complimenti ai vincitori-un bravo a Felice Re e Mara Bariani.
Gianluigi Niboli will drive this week-end at Rally San Martino di Castrozza a 208 T16 ;)
This coming week-end Rally Adriatico, event from CIR :)
Andreucci was hit by technical troubles (nothing new for P208 R5 indeed...) at stage 6. Lost more than three minutes. The race is lost for him, probbably also the championship....
Basso was affected by a problem with the pop-off valve, also breen in the same w-end..maybe r5 valves fragile?
I saw on tv the onboard Andreucci with his off: he explained after the video that during braking he heard a strange transmission noise..the braking was strangely too long..maybe axle shaft....but the big problem was that he lost the reverse gear and when he tried to engage it the problem was bigger and so with this maneuver he destroyed the gearbox (27min occured to change it at service). He said that he was with 2 wheels on the ditch but without the problem with reverse gear he could exit without any problem
Holy f****** shit. Is this even real?
