Italian Rally News

lets see at next stage if Paddon can go faster.

Ucci 2,1 faster from Paddon.

Problems with timing. We have to wait for more times. Scandola and Perico both finished the stage.

What happened to miracle infant ?? i thought he was the best thing after baby jesus and not a tomato can...

Still too young to be thrown around by a Korean guy ?

I'm impressed by Paddon, he has a good pace and is not far behind at all. Let's not forget he isn't a tarmac specialist. This also shows the level in WRC is very high (at least the first 6 or so).

Also shows that the R5 cars are quite equal I think, at least the Hyundai is not so far behind, if it is.

Its also his first rally with a new codriver and I think he first drove the car only a day before the rally.

All the top bunch of WRC drivers are in WRC for a reason I think!

I would be careful with such conclusion. One could say that based on Italian results Peugeot has the best R5 car while that's not true clearly.

His Peugeot is not up to date and is missing 30hp or something like that.
Still I trust that he can pick his pace up from today and finish the rally with better times on Saturday.
But one thing is sure, he has alot of things to learn in tarmac, on gravel and snow he is already super fast.

he is complaining about not good setup,and that's is visible from some clips we ve seen.
