Mitsubishi Evo X cars finished one-two in the gravel Tokyo Rally, part of the All-Japan national series, with Fumio Nutahara the winner.
44 year old Paolo Andreucci’s Racing Lions team Peugeot 207 S2000 won the Italian championship San Marino Rally, beating the Fiats of Luca Rossetti and Emanuele Dati. Andreucci won every special stage. Former SEAT works driver Toni Gardemeister was delayed by a puncture and only finished ninth, third best orthodox Group N car. Rossetti was the 2008 FIA European and national Italian champion in the Racing Lions Peugeot.
Gareth MacHale led the Topaz Donegal International Rally from start to finish in his Focus WRC. He was heading Eamonn Boland until his Subaru Impreza WRC had engine failure, elevating Eugene Donnelly to second in his Fabia WRC. Tim McNulty – Subaru Impreza WRC was challenging but withdrew after suffering two punctures.
Georg Gross won the Viru Rally in Estonia in a ex-works Focus WRC03. Spain’s fifth asphalt rally of the season, Ourense Rally, was won by Sergio Vallejo’s Porsche 911 GT3, followed by four Evo Xs, the highest placed being that of former Subaru WRC driver Xevi Pons.
The winner of the two-day Rally de San Luis (Argentina championship) was Munchi’s WRC driver Federico Villagra (Mitsubishi Evo X), who beat Claudio Menzi’s Subaru Impreza N14 by just 1.1 seconds. At the end of the first day Villagra headed Menzi by just 0.1 second!
Two welcome French faces were watching at Ypres. Firstly Jean-Luc Therier, the Citroen driver whose rally driving career was cruelly cut short on the 1985 Paris Dakar. Therier won five world championship rallies, mostly at the wheel of a works Renault Alpine. Also present, giving support in Belgium to his friend Denis Giraudet, was the former Stobart team codriver Patrick Pivato who was seriously injured during the 2008 Rally Japan.
3mmm
