Peduzzi growing in his first San Marino
The driver from Vimercate closes seventh in class, on the Peugeot 208 Rally 4 of Rally Sport Evolution, setting a third time on the last special, the starting point for the future.
Ranica (BG), 2022 – It had to be a new start, able to erase the gray bracket of the Adriatic, and the second attendance card stamped by Filippo Peduzzi Rally Terra proved to be a basis on which to work.
The driver from Vimercate, after having renewed his confidence in Rally Sport Evolution and their Peugeot 208 Rally 4, presented himself at the start of the two days in the shadow of Monte Titano with a main novelty, that of a seat on the right occupied by a Massimo Bizzocchi with a long experience.
After a good seventh in Rally 4 class on the first “Terra di San Marino” the rider of the Ranica team slowed down slightly, thanks to some ghosts from the recent past.
“With the memory, still fresh, of the Adriatic” – says Peduzzi – “I wanted to start with a calm pace because the main objective was to cover kilometers, to finish the rally and not to make mistakes. I wanted to progress, throughout the day, without exaggerating the pace. “
The second round, essentially the repetition of the first three engagements on the one day of competition last Saturday, saw Peduzzi climb back up the slope, returning to tenth place among Rally 4.
When only three time trials were missing from the white and blue round of CIRT, there was no shortage of opportunities to improve his situation and here the Lombard finished ninth in “Macerata Feltria”, completing his comeback with a remarkable third time on the last “Terra di San Marino ”which allowed him to close the seventh among Rally 4.
“The Rally Sport Evolution car performed well” – adds Peduzzi – “even if I struggled a little in these very slippery and punctured tests. The whole team was impeccable, a very competent and helpful staff. I can feel satisfied because I concentrated the goal, that of ending the event. Thanks to the help of Massimo Bizzocchi I took home a rally in crescendo, until I reached the third time in the class on the last test. I followed his advice and pushed a little harder. I am very satisfied.”
A final of the day which, especially by virtue of the third set on the last special, brings a smile to the young Peduzzi, anxious to return to confront the protagonists of the tricolor.
“I would have liked this San Marino to have started from this last test” – concludes Peduzzi – “when finally, after a few kilometers in the car and many straight from Massimo and the team, we could have gone very well. I am aware that I am young and have little experience so I will try to work, with my head down, to get close to the pace of the best in Rally 4 soon. of Italian land. We will be able to prepare ourselves as best we can. I take this opportunity to thank the Rally Sport Evolution team, Massimo, all the partners and the Venere association ”.
