Sometimes they come back. Even in motorsport champions of the past can not resist the charm of road races that bring in cars that made history car.
So that twenty-five years after winning his second consecutive Cup Csai national rally championship in what was the Fiorenza Padua Soave, decided to defer a helmet and fireproof overalls and join with his Fiat Ritmo Abarth 125 TC with the original colors of the four races Rombi, the sixth edition of Rallylegend in San Marino, the most important race reserved for rally cars of the 80s, scheduled for 10 and 11 October. "In 1983, after winning my second national title - says Fiorenza - the team that represented the Fiat dealers Triveneto scaled programs. Running has always been an expensive sport, and then reluctantly left the race after all years of racing and a lot of satisfaction in the most important races of the time. Since then I have always stayed away from the race because I see the other run was too bad. " This year, the turning point, with the push of a group of fans gathered under the banner of Motor Racing Monselice who have been struggling to return to the racing wheel Padua, the idol of most members of the association in Padua. 'It all started as a joke - says Fiorenza - earlier this year when my friend David Biasiolo, great rider Mini Minor and passionate about classic cars, told me he had a hand in the Ritmo Abarth rally like the one I used in . Same model and color, you only had a minimum set-up and we could run away. And I said yes, I'm running. " In recent months Biasiolo the group's work Monselice Racing has done the miracle setting up a car completely identical to that Fiorenza Soave took the race in 1982 and 1983 with the colors of 4 Rombi and registered Rallylegend where they will race in nearly two hundred competing with classic cars. Among those with Sandro Munari Lancia Stratos and Miki Biasion with the Lancia Delta. "I shudder - the sweet ending - just to scroll through the list of members. Back to racing after twenty-five years and do so in this race gives me a thrill, it fills me with pride but also of responsibility. The race is tough because to Friday it runs at night and on-ground tests mixed asphalt repeated several times. Saturday should be better because we start at noon and closes at dusk. " To return to the races again Fiorenza Soave wanted to read the notes the navigator Patrick Verona Boschini.
