What does it change on the fact that I was wrong in saying that San Marino is his rally premiere?Quote:

9. Marchioro (208 T16 R5) +2:29,1
10. Dalmazzini (207 S2000) +2:30,5
12. Colombini (Fabia R5) +2:39,7 (lost over 2:17 in the last stage, otherwise was fighting with Andreucci)
14. Von Thurn und Taxis (Fabia R5) +3:20,9
By the way all the Citroën DS3 R5 drivers don't drive gravel events or why there was none here?
Clearly a rally to forget for Andreucci; one retirement due to his error and "just" 4th place on the second day.....and all this on his favourite surface. He contiouned his bad driving from Adriatico. If he does't win on Alpi end of August, the 10th crown will be difficult to catch...
Huge congrats to Basso, also a very strong performance by Cempedelli and Colombini.
I can hardly recall someone succesfully using PSA R5 cars on gravel in last couple of months. It may simply be that the others have reasonably better cars for gravel surface.Quote:

No intenational guest this year but still a very very nice entry list:
9 WRCs, a dozen R5 and 119 entries in total.
Among them:
Luca Rossetti with R5 (he won in rally del Taro a month ago with a R5 against WRCs), Andrea Nucita with Fiesta R5, first time at Casentino. Alessandro and Felice Re from Messeri Team (father and son) with a DS3 and a Focus WRC.
Rudy Michelini finally in a WRC, then Sossella, Chentre and many other. Also d'Aste, who is a race driver, will be there. He just did some rallyshow but never a proper rally. Curious to see what will he do.
Very difficult to guess a winner! I will be there on saturday and will keep you up to date if possible.
Perhaps, for the first time in my life I will take some videos, since now I collaborate for a website here in Italy, but just with my phone and with no clue on how to do it properly lol.

scandalo gomme al San Marino? @SimoCampedelli @UScandola @AndreucciPaolo @GiandoBassoFans Non si potevano scegliere le dure ? #ThisIsRally
do we know what happened?
Rubber scandal at San Marino. Not possible to choose the compound... Can't tell you more though :/
Am I the only one who doesn't understand?
no
maybe he's talking about what happened at 2 years' ago San Marino that happened again this year for some crew? When Scandola supposely "drifted" during road section to consume more his gravel tyres before 2 asphalt stages and was excluded? Just guessing
I'm italian but neither I understand what he wrote. It is not gramatically logic and actually everything has been ok in S.Marino. No scandal, no scoop, tires were ok. I think he just might have misunderstood some other post or something.
Casentino-after 5th stage Manuel Sossela new leader, with a small margin in front of Stefano Albertini(both with Fiesta WRC).
Corrado Fontana crashed, Rossetti this time (again with Fabia R5) without a chance for a second victory in I.R.C series (on 5th position currently)-still a very good result.
I'm there. Very nice in here. And the rally is far from over. 3-4 drivers fighting for victory and very nice passes especially by those two in the R5 (I'm referring to Rossetti and Nucita), but it's pretty good in general.
Also enjoyed some historic car and my beloved delta integrale.
I took some brief video. This is already online. I'm not a pro it's just a normal video. :)

In the meantime a stunning Albertini took back the leadership by only 3 tenths!
And soon after there is Michelini only 4 seconds behind.
Rossetti with r5 (only) 14secs from the lead.
Very nice rally so far
What a final stage!!!
Albertini won but with only one second from Rossetti who took him back 16.4 seconds in a single stage with a Skoda R5.
Sossella and Michelini with problems are far away now.
I love this sport.
Indeed! What a drama on the last 36 km long stage. Rossetti is really a master!Quote:

But-the winner in I.R.C classification is Luca Rossetti, as Albertini didn't enter in I.R.C championship!
Rally citta di Lucca SS4 was canceled. Some info why?
Rudy Michelini chrashed. Crew is Ok.Quote:

Right, it was not a crash-fire due to failure on catalytic converter.Quote:

Kubica's impressions after the rally:
"It was nice to put on a helmet again and get into the rally car, even if Clio1600 will become a historical car soon. We have reached our goals. Checking the gear selection system was one of them. We also did it for fun, but it is normal that everyone wants to do well. It was not a lot of driving, about 70 kilometres on 7 stages, but still it was fun, though not easy. Especially behind the wheel of a front wheel drive car on the dirty roads.
Not everything went perfect. Unfortunately on the last stage we've got a puncture. It was a turn everyone was cutting and we hit a sharp edge of the road, 8 kilometres before the finish. Two kilometres later the tyre came completely off the rim. It is not easy to drive a FWD car like that, especially on a long downhill section. We lost a lot of time.
I would like to thank people who helped me in the preparations, the team and also Maciek Szczepaniak, who have found some time just before Rally Finland to sit with me in the car."

It's not a bad entry list at all:Quote:
