15 SARDINIAN CREWS AT THE START
At the start of the 2006 Rally d’Italia
Sardegna there will be also 15 Sardinian
crews, a very important result for the
Sardinian fans of this sport (in 2004
there were 14 and in 2005, 15 as well).
Among them stand out Francesco Marrone
and Dino Caragliu (Mitsubishi Lancer)
winners, among the Sardinian drivers, of
the past two editions. There will be 10
crews of the Sardinian Porto Cervo
Racing Team.
Here below the list of the Sardinian
crews:
Caragliu-Atzei (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo
VI),
Marrone-Piga (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI),
Cellino-Pisano (Subaru Impreza Sti)
Mura-Pitturru (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII)
Casalloni-Piccinnu (Peugeot 306)
Pistis-Catignani (Subaru Impreza Sti)
Catania-Vescarelli (Subaru Impreza Sti)
Schirru-Murtas (Subaru Impreza Sti)
Pileri-Pili (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII)
Dettori-Corda (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII)
Tali-Mirabella (Opel Astra Opc)
Fresi-Orecchioni (Seta Ibiza)
Pranzoni-Pranzoni (Reanult Clio RS)
Filigheddu-Orecchioni (Peugeot 106)
Buscarini-Giovannini (Rover Mg Zr).
It is important to point out that Fabio
Frisiero on a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII,
like last year and thanks to the
contribution of Mite (a group that helps
disabled persons to take part in car
races), will have a Sardinian almost
unable to see co-driver Francesco
Cozzula.
THE MANNONI PRIZE
After the success obtained in the past
two editions, also this year the Mannoni
Trophy will be awarded. It is a prize
that the families Giua and Mannoni of
Calangianus will offer in memory of
Carlo Mannoni, a boy native of the town
of Calangianus, who died in 2004 when he
was only 22 years old. Carlo was a fan
of rally, Formula 1, speed boat races
and motorcycling. His family decided to
establish this prize to underline how
important the Rally d’Italia Sardegna
has become for this island and also how
important is it for the youths of this
territory.
Two years ago Petter Solberg and Phil
Mills won this prize, while last year it
has been won by “Gigi” Galli and Guido
D’Amore. In the past two editions the
silver trophy has been awarded to the
winners of the Lovia Avria special
stage. This year instead the prize will
go to the driver with the best result
obtained summing up the two passages
times on the most spectacular and
difficult stage of the rally, Monte
Lerno.
