Armstrong can make it five ERC3 wins from five starts on Rally di Roma Capitale this week but will face strong opposition from multiple Italian champion and ERC event winner Paolo Andreucci, who will drive a Renault Clio Rally3 on MRF Tyres.
But it’s a prospect Armstrong is relishing: “He’s a legend of the sport so it will be interesting and it’s nice for me to have good competition to go up against. I don’t really know what our pace will be compared to his but I’m sure as the weekend goes on we’ll get a good idea and try to do the best we can. If we need to improve we’ll try to figure that out. He’s done this rally before so it’s always going to be an uphill battle but it’s a good challenge.”

With the temperatures that have been present in that part of the world recently it will be interesting to see how the drivers and the tyres stand up to the conditions. Really looking forward to seeing if the Skoda armada can be beaten this weekend.

De Tommaso, who won this rally last year, crashes already on SS1:

Love the bonnet cam on Campedelli's car. Wish the promoter would sort the clock-running-on at the stage finish problem tho!

Sesks out, that's the championship as good as done then.

Yes, I think we can congratulate Hayden Paddon already. He was the best driver throughout the whole season.

Lukyanuk finishes the 1st loop of the day going just 1.8sec off the pace.
"It's way above our expectations, to be out of the car for 2 years, our pace notes are at about 80% so it takes a lot of effort from me to push the car. It's not easy but we try to enjoy."
