Challenge to the “titan” Paolo Andreucci in San Marino all d ‘… Gold
ENGINES – The 50th San Marino rally full of sporting contents and meanings will be staged between next Friday and Saturday, the right setting for such an important milestone. The list of subscribers is of a high standard. Open hunt for the Garfagnana champion, leader with full points of CIRT 2022.
As many as 27 Rally2s at the start on the dirt roads that will pan in the shadow of the Titan and the PS that make up the 2022 version rally route, with a sea of Skoda Fabia, from which a Hyundai i20 and two Citroen C3 emerge. The leitmotif of the race, third round of the Italian Rally Terrain Championship, will be the hunt announced to Paolo Andreucci, with Rudy Briani and the Skoda Fabia Rally2 HSport, ruler of the first two rounds of the series (Val d’Orcia and Adriatico) and obviously leader of the overall ranking. The presence of Nikolay Gryazin, with Aleksandrov at the notes and the Delta Rally Fabia will certainly be another great stimulus for all the big names at the start. The Russian is reduced by the good victory in Alba two weeks ago. But there will be other high-level interlocutors such as Giacomo Costenaro, who occupies second place, ahead of Enrico Oldrati from Bergamo, with De Guio, both with Munaretto’s Skoda. Also present were Jacopo Trevisani, with Ungaro, currently fifth in the absolute CIRT series, which precedes the San Marino driver Jader Vagnini, with Elisabetta Franchina at the notes. In search of redemption and tricolor points the always competitive Massimiliano Tonso, with Fappani. Also in contention is Emanuele Dati from Camaiore, with Giacomo Ciucci, unlucky up to now, and the other strong San Marino driver Daniele Ceccoli, with Capolongo, protagonist of the summit on his roads. The race will take place entirely on Saturday 9 July starting at 7.43 am. Almost twelve hours of intense and hard competition. 9 stages are scheduled for a total of over 70 km of timed sections. I arrive at Cava dei Balestrieri at 7.05 pm to see if halfway through the championship the popular Ucci will have put another notch on the tricolor Terra 2022 title.
