Of course ucci will be one class on his own this year but i believe the competition will be HUGE between the other drivers.what an amazing performance by Testa!!!i also believe that albertini will be faster when he with will get used his new car.

It's a shame that Basso had to retire at the very end. Ucci has been unlucky at the beginning but at the end he took more points than his main opponents and show a very good pace. I think it will be harder this year for his rivals. I really enjoyed the event, the only thing I don't understand is why these guys that seem very good drivers never participate to a WRC round. I really would like to see them measuring themself with the rest of the world.
When Sanremo counted as ERC/IRC + CIR event, you could see Ucci and other Italians facing european class drivers... ;) but it's true I would like to see him in a WRC event(Corsica or Monte-Carlo for example, not too far from his country)...
I remember when some stages of rally sardinia(i dont remember the year)were counting for c.i.r ucci was setting top times compared to drivers eligible for wrc support category.
Indeed, few years ago on WRC Sardina rally was the fastest compare to S2000 drivers..Quote:

- Racing Lions together with Peugeot Italia has no interest on spending money for Ucci rallying abroad. Their market is Italy.
- same goes for Umberto Scandola. Škoda Italy has domestic market to take care of it. For other markets are responsible domestic importers.
- Giandomenico Basso can not participate with his LPG Fiesta outside Italy, because it has just national homologation.
- Alessandro Perico, Rudy Michelini, Albertini...they are all privateers.....
It is difficult to compare, because CIR drivers were driving under different rules and conditions. They didnt have limited tyres, they can use different tyres than WRC ones, I dont know how it was with fuel, they were doing shorter race etc...Quote:

I have just mentioned that Rally 1000 Miglia is out of CIR. On of the best events in Italy, which should be in ERC (for me it was better event than Sanremo) and is out not only ERC, but also CIR. Now only second league with WRC cars :( Big disappointment for me...
