[CIR] 30º Rally del Ciocco

Cantamessa had a broken differential at the end of stage 11... he hopes to arrive to service park to fix the car..

Chentre went off road.. and.. is out..

Ralliart changed rear differential of Andreucci's car... may for precaution...

SS12 running... ;)

Impossible for Rossetti to improve his position now(he's 11th about 1 minute behind the 10th) :(

Fantastic Perico!!!

Meddicci was forcing the 3rd place.. Perico Improve is pace and won 7.9 sec to Meddici... really impresssive rally by Perico...

One ss to the end of rally and Andrea Perego has a short advantage for Andrea Dallavilla. They will discuss the six position!

There's no much more to say about Ciocco...

Andreucci did a fantastic rally and shown that Mitsu (Ralliart) are much better than Subaru... and much batter than privateer Mitsu.

I think Cantamessa can't do much more with a privateer car.. he was consistent during all rally and no mistakes.. but he was always far from Andreucci...

Perico was the big surprise of the rally for me... really impressive... always top times and almost no mistakes. Let's see if he what he can do with 207 S2000 on nex race.

Rally lost some interest with Basso's error on the 1st stage.. and with the unlucky of Rosseti when he had a puncture.

Subaru was really disappointing on this rally... they never could set top stage times in "real" stages...

Bad luck for Meddicci who was consistent 4th overall before last stage... ha had an off on the last stage...

I conclude that this year CIR is a little bit different from last years... there is a big gap between official and privateers... let's wait for San Marino to see how it will be the future of 2007 CIR.

BTW.. thanks to Claudio from Rallylink for his precious informations and congratulations the organization of Rally del Ciocco.. they had always live stage times working pretty good.

Provisional final classification
1.Andreucci
2.Cantamessa+58.5
3.Perico+1.21.9
4.Aghini+1.56.3
5.Perego+2.55.9
6.Dallavilla+3.01.9
7.Cavallini+4.00.8
8.Pierangioli+4.21.8
9.Manfrinato+4.34.9
10.Rossetti+4.49.2

And also a good victory for Pirelli...!

I can't wait for San Marino in 3 weeks !!! :bounce:


And if this time Alessandro Perico won in front of Andreucci, Rossetti, Basso,... ;)

But overall I think Luca will remain my favourite for the win there :p :

I hope to see some nice video footage of the rally. Last year I could follow CIR on rally action, but that is no longer excisting!!!

I'm really jalous about Italy, you have a great championship, if you compare it with Belgium.

Hope the privat teams will catch up very soon and of course the subbies too!!

It's good to see Perico near the front again after a difficult year with the Subaru in 2006 - remember, he did win Sanremo 2005 with a Clio! But don't get your hopes up too high for San Marino. That's a gravel rally and Perico has never done better than 10th on a gravel round of the Italian Championship, and it remains to be seen how the 207 S2000 will do on that surface. But I agree that on asphalt a second CIR victory in his career is a possibility this season.
