That's true but it also depends on the support they will have from Abart. We'll see

Any chances to see Basso/Rossetti (& Andreucci) on Sardinia, even though that is part of TRT and not CIR?

Nevertheless I'm happy for him-he has a top-car, behind him stands a very professional team, with a lot of experience, there is no doubt about his driving skills, so he will be able to attack Andreucci&Co....

3. He did not drive a non-turbo car for more than ten years
4. He won his seecond race with Fabia-gravel rally around San Crispino (with some luck, Ucci had troubles, but victory is victory)
So, this is a short interpretation of story Longhi-Fabia. About his years: almost all top Italian drivers are about the same years: Andreucci, Travaglia, Longhi.
A bit younger generation are: Navarra, Cantamessa, Basso, Rossetti, Cavallini...
After those two groups the young guns are behind them, but generaly much to slow against veterans....
Yes, this year we will see the return of one true Italian legend-Franco Cunico-after he won easily last year Italian IRC with Focus WRC07, this year he will compete in CIR with privately enterd Punto S2000 (D'Ambra). And he is 53 years old, so Longhi is almost a young man compare to him...And I bet, Franco will stand on the winning stairs this season for many times. Old guy did not forget how to drive....

It seems that Italians are not that inerested for entering into WRC.. It's so strong championship in Italy with more then 150 rallies per year..
Tänak can’t even match Neuville on gravel while starting on better staring position Where has the speed gone this season?
