I remember that Kalle was fast, but not reliable. He had a crash in nearly each rally.

When it comes to the speed of Italian drivers, I'll give you an example. Alberto Battistoli can't be called a fast driver. In Rally Liepaja he was 17th overall. In Rally di Roma Capitale 20th. But in Tuscan Rewind he is easily third. Does it look like a highly competitive championship?

CIR used to be great a few years ago - with Andreucci, Basso, Aghini, Travaglia, Rossetti etc, but I'm afraid those times are long gone, if a 19-year-old kid from Bolivia comes and wins the championship in just 3 rallies.
