Nice; it seems they’re debuting the 124 gravel kit, that Abarth has been promising for a long time.

Yes, Ciamin is going to drive it on gravel in France too.
Yes, he is :) He is 17th overall after the first leg and says he is very happy driving this car on gravel stages :)

Are you sure it's a debut? Andrea Modanesi has been driving Abarth in Italy for a long time. Today he was 27th in Rally Adriatico and it is a gravel event, too.

I think it was also driven in gravel in Romanian championship in May...
In their press release FIAT says that their Abarth 124 Rally already scored 30 category wins this year :)

Wrong me. Modanesi apparently used the gravel kit once before, last June on San Marino Rally. Anyway, as promised 2 years ago, Abarth is making the 124 Rally more versatile and competitive, which is great for RGT. Well done!
Btw, no records on eWRC of Tempestini using the 124 in Romania (gravel or tarmac) events.
Arad Rally end of May with Tincescu...

Great to know there are so many 124’s rallying nowadays; it’s a proof that RGT is becoming popular!
So, will someone find out another unfamiliar driver from a remote location who has run a 124 on gravel before or can we confirm Tincescu was the first one?
So Tempestini and his Abarth finished Rally Poland in the 16th position. Now he also entered the 8th round of European Championship - Rally Liepaja in Latvia - also on gravel :) Good luck!
