Kalle is still in rally,there are comments after stage 16 from him.
13,15,1 his time

Simone Campedelli wins the rally! It is probably his first win ever in the Italian championship. Congratulations! :)

So some consideration and anedoctes from this Ciocco:
Nucita spun in front of me yesterday:
look at where he stopped: a dozen of cm more and he would have been in the ditch.
It was only one corner before the finish :)

Fabio Andolfi was next to me spectating in another stage. He is a nice guy, he was talking about what to improve in the 124 Abarth and about spectators throwing snow in the stage at Montecarlo.
Really feel for Ucci and Scandola, mechanical failure are always the worse. A shame that Peugeot, the only official manufacturer of the championship is still not able to deliver a reliable car after all these years.
At the same time I'm very happy for Simone Campedelli and Pietro Ometto who really deserve their first win at CIR. Being so close to Andreucci that was born in those street is a proof of how much these guys are the one to watch.
I'm very sorry to have miss the chance to watch Kalle at full speed. He has a long way to go on tarmac but it was his first event on this surface, against driver who drove in those streets for decades. Still I'd rate this debut very high.
Now we just have to see how the learning curve will develop, if it will be steady or he will learn quick to master this new surface.
My GF still loves me after having walked 10km to reach stages, risked our life leaving one stage (we were going away from the stage after one car passed and there were soon another one we didn't hear and we were in the street, likely we had a place to go), and Nucita spun putting his nose not far from where we were. :D
Overall classification taking into account the stupid and overcomplex point system of CIR
Campedelli 16,5
Perico 11
Andreucci 7,5
Chentre 6,0
Scandola 4,0
Rusce 3,5
Ferrarotti 3,0
Nucita 1,5
Thanks for your report! Very interesting comments! But I don't understand one thing. How come Fabio Andolfi was a spectator and a competitor at the same time? :)
Yep, something went wrong on the 208T16 development, but PS Italy is the only team that has been able to keep a decent reliability level with that car. Hopefully today's engine failure won't happen again soon.Quote:

Later I had also a conversation with him at San Marino Legend, we were spectating on the same corner....
If Umberto Scandola will not "wake up" already on the next event, Simone will be the only one who will challenge Ucci in this year.
But my thoughts are on the first gravel event, there might be a huge shock for italian drivers....
Interesting moment in Nucita's onboard video:

That's one of these moments Delecour was showing with a pan bonnet in some video recently;)Quote:

All these good videos from ACI Sport TV (the italian federation) on Youtube... published in very few time, with some nice catch like Andreucci's stop... I have to say they've done a very good job.
Do you remember if they did the same latest years?
I believe they did, at least last 2 years there was great coverage also.Quote:

Rallye Sanremo Entry List: http://www.acisport.it/public/2017/p...ti_sanremo.pdf
I know I'm always polemic but I didn't found Facebook page and this thing should be the official website of one of the most historical rally in the world: http://www.rallyesanremo.it/
I think we deserve Angela Merkel telling us what to do.
Paddon on the list....this is going to be very interesent....will be able to keep up with the fastest "local" boys?
I don't think he will actually. Let's seeQuote:

I think it has always been like that - the Italians have had the best rallies in the world and... the ugliest websites :)Quote:

Kalle Rovanperä vs. Chewron Lim ;)
He'll do fine. Tarmac may be his weakest point, but WRC guys pace is on a higher level. Even Ostberg managed to be front of a tarmac rally, last year in Canarias.
But he didn't manage to keep his lead until the finish line :)Quote:

Maybe Lukyanuk not specialist, but somehow could match pace of Kopecky in Barum 2016. About Mikkelsen nobody said that he's specialist either, but Monte Carlo showed us that actually he is...Quote:

It's tricky to compare Barum and Italian events.. It's both asphalt but hugely different. For being fast on Barum You don't need that much of proper asphalt driving techniques. You mainly need to have very well set up suspension and some balls. On the contrary on Sanremo You need to have very precise pacenotes, to keep perfect tarmac lines and to master brake usage management
