CARELLA UNCACTHABLE AT “GRIFO”

Andrea Carella, adapted to the Peugeot 208 R5, likes to occupy the highest step of the podium, which it has been gained also this weekend at the 9th Rally del Grifo, thanks to an high level performance, with which he brought over two minutes to his direct pursuer.

In S1600 class there have been two crews at work, composed respectively by  Nicoletti/Zanrosso and Menagatti/Gambasin. The first has stopped the chronometer at 45’26’’.9, a timing that has permette itself to end its race weekend to the nineth place in the overall rank gaining the top of the class; the second one, after setting a great fourth time in PS1 in the overall rank, it has been forced to stop because of a potentiometer break down which did’nt allow the engine to work properly.

Toffano completed the deployment aboard Peugeot 208 R2; he ended the race without any problem at the sixth class place.
