Amazing! Over 50’s Andreucci was the only ‘italian specialist’ able to stop WRC class Paddon to win. Huge congrats to Ucci/Ussi and Peugeot Sport Italia (the only team that manages to make the 208 successful)!

From afar it looks like some trees are broken above it. Looks like it has rolled down the slope pretty much straight sideways.Quote:

Campedelli statements about his crash, hope my translation is clear:
"I don't know what happened, the cars went away and we flied for 40 meters!"
"We were doing well and I knew that my performance up to that point, 23km, 2/3 of the stage, was great. Then, for some reason, I did not understand the note that Piero Ometto has (prompty) read to me and I made a big mistake, entering a slow right turn at a speed at which it was virtually impossible to turn.
I do not know what happened, if it was a lack of focus or not, the fact is that it ended like that. We will have to analyze everything. At a certain point the car went away and we ended below, stopping after a flight of about 40 meters. It's a pity. I was calm, not risking. I was taking my pace after a start as usual a bit under my potential because of the lack of pre-event test. After the first stages we had done some changes to the settings and I was starting to get into real struggle for victory.
I was in second place, only 10"9 by Andreucci and ahead of Hayden Paddon. Expectations were high after Ciocco and instead ended up with a double retirement that forces us now to take advantage of the rule that allows you to discard two results throughout the season. We played the "joker", as they say, and from now on we can not give anything away to our opponents, that are very strong.
Now I will swallow the disappointment and start thinking about the next race, the Targa Florio."
a bit late,but worth imho to see Ucci at a pre San Remo test video.You trying to find a small wrong line,but you cant.Faultless.

If you watch him live the difference between his lines (near perfect) and all the others is very clear. I will never stop to be amazed by his performances, and at his age.Quote:

Does anyone know why PSA cars often test without bumpers?Quote:

I forgot to report some week ago: another 16yo driver is going to participate to italian championship.
Only gravel championship though. His name is Bulacia, he comes from Bolivia. He will drive a Ford Fiesta R5.
And here is the entry list for Rally Liburna Terra, the first round of Campionato Italiano Terra:

Andreucci clarifies the situation on SS2. He is 10 seconds faster than anybody else.
Big problems for chronos on Targa Florio: no time for SS3 yet :(
SS4 Targa Florio cancelled !!! Why :confused:
Bad rumours about SS3(read on Rallylink forum): a crew driving a BWM Mini Cooper crashed on the road(really wet stage)and rescue crews would be on stage to help, something serious would have happened(bad injuries ??) !!! Nooooo please ;(
Marshall and driver are Dead. the codriver is ok, she was the drivers daughter...
Really sad news :(
Condolences to families and friends ;(
It seems that the girl is at the hospital and she's not out of danger. :(
Very sad :( Condolences to all who are concerned.
Some updates:
According to the organizers the incident happened in a straight. The marshall was 2 metres from the road. There were sleet in the road...
When ambulance arrived there both the marshall and the driver were already dead, the codriver (the daughter of the driver) was consciouse although injured.
Doctors believes the codriver will survive.
