Just came back from Rally Adriatico: great fun!
Mikkelsen lost the rally on SS 2 where he spun losing about 20 seconds.
Navarra anyway was great and the Mini looks good and fast on gravel!

Most probably nothing. Because Aghini started rallying when he was 21. Then he had to climb the ladder from small cars to the strongest rally machines. He was rallying with a small group N cars for several years before he finally signed a contract with Lancia. You can't compare Aghini to Mikkelsen, because Mikkelsen never had to climb this ladder, that most young drivers have to climb. He drove WRC cars already in his first year.Quote:

+1 . I don't think it's in Mikkelsen's favour to point out that he's 21 , it just show that he is a rich kidQuote:

That is true , and he is doing very good so far in my opinion . However , it is still a fact that he drove a Focus WRC 05 when he was 17 , which is what most teenagers these days cannot afford ;)Quote:

Quite average start of Ronde Alto Friuli for Rok Turk :mark:
http://rally.ficr.it/tab_schedule.as...nifestazione=1
Just as I thought so - he is already more than a second per kilometer slower than Humar , and he is behind a FA7 . Note the fantastic Marco Zannier back in his favourite car , the 106 , 8th overall . Respect to Humar , he is 2nd overall on his first stage in a S2000 behind de Cecco ( who is the king of the Friuli region , drives on these roads for more than 20 years )
Problems for Humar , he's not in the results after SS2 and Turk is ...
Any news about Humar?
Now he is officially retired ...
Mirek maybe same problem as on friday test day in Zadlog, problems with clucth.
Rally finished , and my predictions were 100% right : Turk did get beaten by a FA7 Williams ( Andrea Salvador , 2nd ) :) . Humar had clutch problems

Great news about Travaglia! It will be a great fight between him and Rox (he also plans ERC?). I hope they will both have the same number of rallies and they will fight "face to face" as many times as possible.
Indeed very good news about Renato Travaglia, does somebody know what Fabia (team) he will use for this ERC-campaign?
Walter, it is written in the article - DP Autosport.
I doubt Rox will drive outside Italy !!! His program with Abarth was long and difficult to get prepared(looks like Marchione isn't interested in motorsport and aim to make Fiat group back in USA as priority) :sQuote:
