After the exciting trip to no Ronde del Grifo (photographically speaking) will try to make up for this Saturday at Valsugana historic. The boys of Team Manghen seem to have done a great job presenting the street more than a hundred cars in Rally and Historic Regularity Classic. The landscape should be better than the Griffin, the only unknown remains the weather. In the ‘waiting place an’ unusual rally Grifo pictures taken by my friend Fabio: a strange reflection of light has created a picture in my view, very beautiful and special
The green Geneva Auto Show is in fashion this year after the hybrid Lamborghini and Ferrari (Enzo the poor must be turning in his grave) will present the new Skoda Fabia S2000. I believe that at least I’m not mean green green cars!
The latest rumors seem to miss the Jordan, perhaps Bulgaria and Poland, but who cares! He’ll be back in Italy ’s more difficult to Greece, but there is talk of a possible return of the history of the sport: the Rally of Monte Carlo! If all this were true, would mean that something is changing slowly, return to the glories of the 80 will be difficult, but at least improve the situation now seems obligatory as indeed bring the interest in some other house officer. For now do nothing but wait …
Saturday we were at 1 ° Ronde di Bosco Chiesanuova to remove a bit ‘rusty from reflex and, although our results seem poor, those of competitors in the race have not been definitely better. Despite the tender included a very nice path was snubbed by both the pilots of the WRC S2000 leaving to contend that the victory the old Clio Williams guided skillfully by Fiocco and Gaspari: all others to be pop. The public did not like much the abandonment of the various Vettore, Campedelli, Marchetti that had been announced by the organization and majestically, already after half of the first lap, he left muttering. Overall I must admit that we also have fun, and the other between a test and we were able to experiment with new ways to recommend to the organizers for the 2011 edition so you can add a little ‘pepper to the event and make it attractive to big .. . off road!
Dear Friends,
a few days later than what I told you, here I am writing to you some news which are not exactly positive. I am sorry to tell you that my relation with BMW has definitively interrupted and every chance to take part in any championship with a car of the Bavarian brand went with it. What a shame. My relation with the German manufacturer seemed to be indissoluble, nevertheless, this is what happened in a period with the economic downturn shaking daily many of the certainties that apparently regulated the world economy and it is certainly not the worst thing ever when compared to the situation of all those people that have really been knocked out by this crisis. Despite being extremely sorry for having to break up an association that awarded both sides with great satisfactions, I understand that these things happen. Still, during life it might also happen that when you lower your eyes to look for something you lost you end up finding something else worth collecting. We will see if this is going to be the case, even if I think that now it is really late to find shortly a valid agonistic alternative, I surely do not intend to hang up my racing helmet and I am hopeful that very nice cars will still be present in a more or less near future of mine. I am sincerely thankful to BMW for the path we covered together and I wish them all the best in their sportive programmes.

Unfortunately the sport, seems to want to deprive another sample and this is very sad. A doubt assails me, though: really sports or are we just calling something by the wrong name?
By the Renault 5 of mother to two world championships won in a Lancia Delta Integrale, through Opel Kadett, Ascona, Lancia 037, Delta S4, Delta 4WD ! The story of the only Italian driver to have won 2 world in 7 wrc video!
With the arrival of one million euros from the regional council of Sardinia seems that the organizers have generously dispensed in designing a layout of the past including ps long and capable of spreading throughout the island. For purists still regret not being able to see their heroes of the WRC, the appointment seems only delayed to 2011 but the list will still be first-rate starters. Appeal will certainly extraterrestrial, but the game will be the other driver came from heaven, the angel of the rally!
Franco Cunico and Gigi Pirollo participate in the 2010 Italian Rally Championship aboard a Grande Punto Abarth S2000 Team D’Ambra sponsored by Fassa Bortolo.
Will they worry the two old foxes of young Andreucci and company?
I hope so
