Livorno, 10 September 2010.
It grows more each day waiting for the prestigious and essential Rallye Elba Storico-Trofeo Locman Italy. Ended the other italian event, the Rally Alpi Orientali Historic, the protagonists of the Historic European and Italian Rally Championship have immediately focused their next objective, the XXII edition of the island race, the eighth round of the Historic European Sporting Rally Championship and the penultimate of the Italian series of specialties, scheduled Sept. 16 to 18 next.
Many innovations proposed by 2010 Rallye Elba that, at first, certainly favors lengthening of the tourist season on the largest island of the Tuscan archipelago.
Then reveal its high-level characters, designed especially for the satisfaction of people running and even those who may attend. For this reason we speak of success, with 123 members, divided into 86 and 37 for the Rally for Regularity event "Elba Graffiti".
THE RACE ANNOUNCES "WORLD"
What ACI Livorno Sport is going to propose will be as usual an event full of technical and sports cues of absolute value. This year more than ever takes a global feature: between fourteen nationalities represented, on the starting line there will be a driver coming from Canada. Crews are also arriving from Austria, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Norway, Monaco, Czech Republic, Republic of San Marino, Sweden and Switzerland. Scroll through the entry list spread in the morning today we announce challenges impressive as the best interpreters of the two championships are almost all. In addition, the race will be supported as usual by the 37 cars of the entrants in the Elba Graffiti. Again the islander appointment is one of those that the regularity crews love more in the national context.. Following the great success of participation in previous seasons and the strong consensus from fans is that of professionals (twelve nations represented among the competitors in 2009, 6000 units recorded about the movement of these various roles with the event) the race will be presented with some exciting news regarding the race course, structured over three days, from the evening of Thursday 16th in the afternoon of Saturday, September 18.
In fact, for this rally, whose name is a guarantee of success, ACI Livorno Sports, organizer and promoter of the event, once again provided two special stages for the first portion of the challenges, then planned for the evening of Thursday, September 16th: the "Due Colli" and the "Capoliveri", with this one that comes back thanks to the strong interest shown by the municipality, who asked to join the race. The stage is short and very technical and partly traces the path of the famous old one named "dell´Innamorata".
The second day of competition, on Friday, September 17th, has the novelty of the "Rio-Cavo" just over six kilometers never raced that surely will appeal to many, and the classic stages "Monumento" and "Monte Perone".
The final day, on Saturday, September 18, will propose the same format of 2009 edition, which brought together agonism and safety. In the program there are "Volterraio", the "Parata-Falconaia" and again the "Monte Perone", which is the whole race SS longer, almost fifteen kilometers.
THE REASONS FOR SPORTS
Make predictions is difficult. The quality of the plateau of entrants, in fact, is so high, both for cars and drivers, that also the most expert in the field may fail assuming of a possible podium finish ever and also the various groupings.
The previous tricolor, and also Continental, appointment in Udine has further developed the classical fuel to the fire, there are many who want to rebuild the disappointments and others who seek redemption. Both rankings are still open and even short, so the Elban streets will issue important verdicts.
The Sicilian champion Salvatore Riolo (Porsche 911), one of the favored for success, will start with the number one. The driver of Cerda (Palermo), first overall and winner of the second group in 2009, is back from the disappointment of disqualification for a technical irregularity on his car in Udine, when he ended first overall too. Seek prompt redemption but will not have easy life.
As Riolo that will try to repeat the 2009 victory, there are others drivers that think to a great result: Norwegian Walter Jensen (Porsche), the other Sicilian Marco Savioli (Porsche), one of the "suspects" for the championship flag, but also Pierangelo Rossi, Marco Raoul Domenicali, Giuseppe Alfonzo, English Ernie Graham, and Lucio Da Zanche from Valtellina (second overall in Udine and first of the European Championship entrants) think big.
The list goes on, for achievements in various groupings, including the Andrea Stefanacci from Prato (which in 2009 won the third group but then was disqualified for a technical irregularity), the Lombard Luca Ambrosoli (who often runs with the modern car), Muccioli from San Marino, in addition to extemporaneous appearances by the Florentine Paolo Clumps, which debuts with a Porsche after twenty years of experience in modern rallies where he always won so much, and Giovanni Galleni from Livorno, with his usual Opel Ascona 400.
Production performance and spectacular are also expected from various Piero Csrissimi (Opel Kadett), by the Florentine Andrea Polli (Lotus Elan Pasutti, Marenzana, Parisi, Salvini, Patuzzo, De Luca, Bentivogli, the Austrian Harrach, always spectacular with His Mitsubishi Lancer (with whom he made a show in Friuli, before stopping for an accident). These and many other great performers of the historic rallies can be seen on Elba roads, those that seem designed just for a rally. Those where the rally history was drawn with an indelible ink.
