1,3 seconds difference before last stage!
Basso deserves to win this one.
For what did he get the penalty?

Fastest time on three runs of the same stage... 7:01, 6:57, 6:54.
So Skoda Fabia finally won his first rally in Italy after 3 outings.
Happy for Scandola who had a very bad combo on the previous two rallies not managing to reach third stage on both of the rounds.
Basso has been a bit unlucky this time. In fact he has been faster today but rally is not only about stage times. This year he struggled more than usual but I don't blame too much the crew, it is difficult with his haviest gas car to battle against the developed Peugeot and the brand new Fabia R5.
Finally "only" the car owner Jírovec himself on Rally Legend with Corolla WRC, not Pech.

Another angle of the crash, looks like something broke before the crash.

Anyone on here been to Rally Legend before? What are your impressions of the event? I'm thinking of going next year for sure.
How easy is it to meet the drivers and get autographs for example?
Never been there but I know some friend who did. Everyone says the same: spectacular.Quote:

Sure. Not a crash, a genuine suspension failureQuote:

I've visited Rally Legend many times (last year last time....it was so hot...), sometimes I stayed for two days. It was always a spectacular event, stages are close, the teams are located around the centre of the main stage "the Legend"...
Definitely on my schedule next year.....
One stage to go in Rally due Valli. Scandola leading by 34 seconds. Shall be easy for him.
Scandola win Rally due Valli
The accident of Andreucci: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmaIJcldse4
Not usual for Ucci to do these kind of mistakes. I've seen the onboard, it was a slight left before the hairpin in the right. Not an easy section because after the left turn you have the car balanced to turn left but if you are an experienced and winning driver like Paolo you know what to do.
I think it happened because he already won this year and the concentration can't be the same but also because manufacturer title was not yet sure even if it was enough for one between him and Tassone to stay in the top7 or 8. Anyway when the goal is too much easy it can bring you to drive with the fear to make something stupid, and this is when it actually happens.
Or maybe these are just too much words and he made just a mistake. :)

Still not an official news but in 2016 championship there might be a change in the points system and format of the rallies. It could become like Australian championship with Heat 1 and Heat 2 (or like WTCC, if you want), so 2-days rallies with drivers scoring points for each day, treating the days as different rounds. And the points given would be 7,5-6-5-3,5-3-2,5-2-1,5-1-0,5 per day...
I hope this isn't true, anyone knows more? So sad...
Someone bring these people to some mental hospital please. For their good.
Oooh no, pity, not like ARC. So bullshit system. You can give day points, but you need to keep an overall classification for the rally.
Even with day points it would be idiotic. Rally events in CIR are barely more than 100 kms. Giving bonus points for a 50kms day, most of the times in a couple of stages repeated also 3 times, is for dumb people. This new point system is even worst, actually I don't think we should call him rally.Quote:

Will we see Polo in Monza..?
Monza rallyshow entry list: http://www.rallylink.it/pdf/2015/monza_2015.pdf
*btw. It is quite funny that Skoda Fabia cars are top in their categories, but there are only three Fabias S2000 and zero Fabias R5 :-)
Monza Rally Show is a joke. Valentino Rossi will be there with "modified" Fiesta and with his fans pretending he would be at the top in the WRC because he will beat other WRCs unless, hopefully, Neuville.
And a "Rally" hosted in a circuit with balloons that design turns is a circus more than a rally. Can't understand what is interesting in all this but maybe it's just me that can't appreciate it.
