Fiat is fast on local ground because it has been developed on these types of stages. It's not just in CIR , Fiat is competitive on other Italian championships as well.
But sure , it is a little bit behind others ;)
Rossetti lost 14" on Ucci on SS2 :confused:
Good time from Kopecky too ;)
Puncture for Rox in SS2 :mark:
Hydraulic problem for Kubica(13th fastest on SS2 +16") :(
He is still way fastest 2WD...
Hydraulic in Clio? What is hydraulic there? I can imagine only brakes...
Kopecky on SS3 :eek:

not set up looking his time at ss2-4.
Lets see ss5 just started.
Ehe...Rox and Ucci equal time, but Travaglia 1.4" faster :D
Amazing performance from Kopecky among best Italians.
Lets see Ucci time in ss6.He won in previous passage.
Yeah...Basso and Kopecky again faster than Ucci ;(
Basso found a sortcut in the last day stage :D
But.. Kopecky found another one...
(both in comparison with Ucci....)
Vai, vai Kopecký! :D
Great performace by Kubica also!
Today Pirelli tyres were not that bad on the hot tarmac... Just have to wait and see how they'll perform on tomorrow longest stage!
Jedeme Honza !!! :D
I presume this is a tarmac event?
Seems like Kopecky is getting used to the Pirelli tyres...
His Fabia is from his dad's team - is his dad's team running it too or is it being run by Skoda Italy still?
Yes, it's a tarmac event...
As I know, it's the the Fabia from Valousek's team..
I think he is running under support of Skoda Italia...
The longest stage (Palombara) is 8 km shortned, so nothing special with this stage.....Quote:

Edit: spin for Andreucci. This is the reason why he lost so much time in SS8!
No, Motorsport Kopecký is running the car for Valoušek in CZ ;)Quote:

Excellent time by Basso on SS11, gonna be a close finish!
Flat front right tyre for Travaglia, lost more then two minutes....Ucci has a safe third place, yust one stage to the end.
Kopecky!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!
Looks like Kopecky has done it; good drive and nice practice to get his tarmac skills sharp again in time for Ypres.
What a fight! Great victory for Jan Kopecky, a top class driver!
Really nice performance by Basso and Kopecky.. congratulations to both drivers!!!
Crazy performance by a young Czech driver-to win in CIR, in front of all this experienced Italian drivers-with the knowledge of every bend, stone...is really something special!! This result predicts battle for win in Belgium. He will be sharp as a rezor.
Travaglia didn't made it to the finish.
Kubica-also a big surprise!! Victory in 2WD class. Clio S1600 is still capable to beat Clio R3 on a dry tarmac. With a help of a top driver, naturally! Which Kubica definitely is (F1 and rally, both in one person-watch out, Kimi&Valentino...).
I expected more from Rossetti!
Finaly Navarra in Fiesta S2000, it is good for championship, but he has a long way to learn, if he wants to put in danger Kopecky&Roxy&Basso&Ucci&Trava...
It seems Jan took a little while to get used to the Pirelli tyres maybe, but i will be interesting to see if he can keep this up from now on.
Re: the Fiat drivers, I always thought Basso to be a little ahead on asphalt and Rossetti to be a little ahead on gravel, but they are both excellent drivers.
Maybe it's a little out of topic, but here is a nice video from Robert Kubica's performance on Rally del Taro 2010. I think it's worth watching.
