It not couple of years since victory of Luca Rossetti (2007-IRC), but still his achivement was astonishing for beenig 1st time on this event......
Not that I want to minimise his performance, but he only did 1 scratch, 2x 2nd, 1x 3th time on whole of the event. He was clever enough not to make any mistakes nor have a puncture. That is an achievement and what gave him the victory. Not outright pace.
Holy crap, another boring rally planned... the spectacle in Sardegna and in Rome is like day and night. Last time I tried to watch ERC Rome, I managed to stay awake ca 4 minutes more than for Rally...
Let’s see if someone can drag a bit of sponsorship money out of Martini to do the job right!
