Having already conquered the Italian Terra Championship with a race to spare, the Brunello gathering it was the triumphant final catwalk for Paolo Andreucci. And the multi-champion from Garfagnana, in the home event, gave another show by imposing himself in what was thelast lap of the CIRT. Fifth championship success for Andreucci after those obtained in Val d’Orcia, the Adriatic, San Marino and the Nuraghi. This to Montalcinoin the sensi lands – it was a solo: en plein of special tests, 7 out of 7 and a minute reserved for everyone else. Paolo Andreucci never ceases to amaze and he has no intention of stopping. The most accredited rival, to take away the first position, was Albert Battistelli but the pilot from Vicenza – who had already conquered the Historic Brunello – was forced to withdraw because of a capsizing in the penultimate stage, leaving the road clear for Andreucci, who wins with his Skoda Fabia R5. On the podium, after a good fight, there are Andrea Mabellini and Enrico Oldrati both with the Czech car. Less than 3 seconds gap between the two in favor of the Brescian, at his debut on a dirt road with a 4-wheel drive. At the Rally del Brunello there is also the excellent performance of Giader Vagnini: The San Marino pilotalways behind the wheel of one SkodaFabiamanaged to get back to the fifth position ea sol 4 seconds from the fourth selected by the European mountain speed champion Cristiano Merli.
