So Skoda Fabia finally won his first rally in Italy after 3 outings.
Happy for Scandola who had a very bad combo on the previous two rallies not managing to reach third stage on both of the rounds.

Basso has been a bit unlucky this time. In fact he has been faster today but rally is not only about stage times. This year he struggled more than usual but I don't blame too much the crew, it is difficult with his haviest gas car to battle against the developed Peugeot and the brand new Fabia R5.

Finally "only" the car owner Jírovec himself on Rally Legend with Corolla WRC, not Pech.
