Perego and Colombini with Fiesta R5, Perico for the first time in P208R5 (although this Pug was already driven on Madeira, thanks god...).
My favourite-as always: Paolo Andreucci.

Great entrylist

[Tom206wrc]

Forfait from Simone Campedelli(in Friuli this coming week-end)

[Tom206wrc]

Also forfait for Andrea Nucita(budget problem)

[Tom206wrc]

After two stages Friuli, Ucci leading with a margin of already 14"9
Steady learning from Perico for his first outing in the 208 T16(4th overall)

Already a mechanical failure leading to retirement for the DS3 R5 of Michelini(between SS1 and 2)

Ferraroti leading the GrR(7th)and Albertini the Junior R2(8th)...

According to Claudio's live of the rally electronic problems for Basso
It's no use saying then the Ford is more reliable than the Peugeot in R5 class

PS: in historic no luck for "Pedro" who is leading after 4 stages, the engine of his Lancia has cylinder problem and could cost him the retirement

(

in the sense that Ford is not so reliable as we thought? or instead that it's only an exception in the proven reliability of M-sport's r5?

I've just arrived back home from holiday, thanks god-Andreucci is leading.
I've read that Basso had problems with bang-system....shame...why did Perego change his evoX for Fiesta R5?? He is not much quicker.....And very fast german driver Kössler with Suby N4....long time since somebody was under first ten with evo/suby on this demanding stages. Even more respectable-Kössler is for the first time on Alpi....
