Weekend dedicated to the 35th Rally City of Turin which took place in Pianezza, not far from the famous Reggia di Venaria, and scheduled for three Special Stages repeated twice each.
At the start in the GT Class Maurizio Fratti navigated by his faithful Alessandro Verna with the Porsche 997 R-GT that Autorlando set up for rallies on asphalt with international FIA homologation.
After a shakedown held in Rubiana over 3 km with the direct advice of Orlando Redolfi for the last set-up for the Saturday race, Fratti and Verna made a first round of cautious tests but already in harmony with the 997 of Autorlando-sport arriving to the service park 24th absolute and first in RGT.
On the P.S. Monasterolo, Mezzenile and Lys the couple made a series of placings between 20th and 30th absolute position that lead to an overall 20th overall, first in GT class and second in the over 55 standing out of 25 starters.
These are the comments of the driver and navigator:
Maurizio Fratti:
“The 35° Rally City of Turin was a great event, perfectly organized and with important crews and cars, it was a test to evaluate the continuity of the program that the R Gt was brilliantly overcome, it is perfect, we had fun and we gave a show defending ourselves very well. Next round of the Elba Rally. “
Alessandro Verna:
“It was an “uphill” race. Unfortunately, the situation kept us away from racing and getting back into the rhythm together is not easy but despite everything, we had a fantastic race. Wonderful car, fast and technical Maurizio, impeccable team. “
So all that remains is to wait for October to see the Fratti – Verna couple on the roads of Elba again with the R-GT with Autorlando-sport colors.
