After 1 and a half year this movie is finally going to enter cinemas in Poland. The title was translated to "Italian Race". Trailer seems quite good indeed. Has anyone seen the movie already?

Reviews at imdb.com are quite good:

Interesting fact - in the "Making of" video you can see Paolo Andreucci (from 0:50 to 1:15) :)

I saw it, in Italian language with English subtitles. In movie there are some scenes with Ucci's P208T16. No more spoiling, movie actually OK, even there are some things messed up with characters age, and times when they drove some cars; for those who know some about rallying history it could be trouble, but in general it's good.

Can somebody confirm my prediction about the change in the CIR points system; naimley as I understand ACI will cancel the points system for each day classification.

https://www.rallylink.it/cms16/index...ano-rally-2018

Are they going back to ''normal'' system?

Yes they are. But AFAIK they're going to race from thursday to saturday and that's simply stupid because people work on thursday and friday. But I have to understand this better.

It seems that Andreucci has renewed his contract with peugeot and will race again this year.
No ERC or WRC2 as some rumors seemed to suggest.

Anyway there are not official statement yet so this is not 100% sure.

It's official

(let's say they are very good inside the car but not that much as actors!) :D

Anyway basically he says: "But how old is Sainz?" and Anna replied "older than you, that's for sure". "Do we go?" "yes yes".

Next scene: "Paolo! Don't put the suit already!!" "Well, Ciocco is within a month, eh".

Why on earth would Skoda Italia go with DMacks for a largely asphalt championship?

Except money advantages(these tyres shouldn't be expensive at all compared to Michelin/Pirelli)I don't see the point :confused:

Maybe they will also help financially the team.Like in the past with m sport when they were paying for the third car.

Ucci

A perfect start for the old Italian rally star.....Andreucci's victory was never in danger, he just routinely retained the relatively small advantage, made today no mistake whatsoever.....victory for a textbook.
What about others: Crungola definetely a positive surprise, was all the time close to Ucci; sometimes even faster.
Cempedelli showed many times he can challenge Ucci, this time he had one flat tyre, so the dreams for the victory were immediately history.
Pollara-slow....
Gryazin-I expected more from him, if we exclude lose of time due to flat tyre on 9th stage, he was loosing constantly around 1sec/km....sometimes even more.
Both Japan guests-very solide; most important: no mistakes.

Me too, although his main experience and best performances have been on gravel.

Is he doing full CIR?

Sorry to tell You, but the DMack race tyres are British and the responsible people are nearly all ex-Pirelli staff...

You`re correct, in fact I think they are nowadays also produced in the UK(at Avon/Cooper factory) and not in China anymore, all key personnel are ex. Pirelli guys. Regardless of this it seems like they still have some work to do on tarmac to catch Pirelli and Michelin.

Was there, very nice rally as always, I think Ciocco is the best together with Sanremo. _
I've finished my words for Andreucci, at this point I think he will win again at 70 with a wheelbarrow.

He is in 2nd league in Italy....

Nothing new in Italy. Andreucci wins 3 out of 4 stages and leads the rally.
Gryazin only 7th overall. No chance for a good result in Sanremo for him.
Good to see the young Giacomo Scattolon returning to the championship, but his first stage times in a R5 car don't look very good. He is currently in the 11th position after some small problems and a penalty:

And here is the entry list:

http://www.targa-florio.it/fileadmin...critti_CIR.pdf

A solid list, but this year without surprise of any foregin top driver, who would come to Sicily to test his driving skils.
The first favorite to win this beautiful event is Paolo Andreucci, who is unbeatable since 2013 (all together he won this event 10x times!).

Catastrophic start of Targa Florio for Umberto Scandola this saturday morning: mechanical problem on his Skoda he's losing a lot of time especially on SS3 ;(

Edit: in fact his time was a mistake :mark: Scandola is 3rd overall after SS4, behind Ucci and Campedelli ;)

I don't understand why rally is becoming late(more than 30" late compared to official start time) :confused:

Is it because of weather(wet and rain)or spectators, or something else :confused:
