They will be the famous streets of the equally famous Targa Florioin Sicily, the scenarios that Christopher Lucchesi will face this weekend, the third Italian event of the season, specifically the Absolute Italian 2-wheel drive rally championship.
After the first two commitments of Ciocco and Alba, Lucchesi takes over second position in the rankingsthanks to convincing performances both in the home race and in Piedmont, the conditions for a third round in which the objective will be to consolidate the podium.
It will be a difficult task on the roads of the Madonie, in the province of Palermo, in an extremely competitive context in which the Pintarally Motorsport standard bearer, together with the Piacenza co-driver Enrico Bracchi, on Peugeot 208 Rally4 by Gf Racing with Pirelli tires will try to elevate themselves by exploiting the particular feeling that the driver of Baths of Lucca has with the race, which he has already run.
“After two races in which I would say we did very well despite qualified and fierce competition, we are going to face the Targa roads with a lot of motivation, serene, but also aware that it will not be a walk in the park at all – he says – We will face roads that I already know quite a bit good in terms of characteristics and which should never be trusted, they are selective, very technical and often also treacherous, a little the essence of rallies. Then there are the many competitors to face, all of the highest level, so it will be two intense days where you will never have to lose concentration, especially thinking about the economics of the championship. We’ll give it our all, me, my co-pilot Enrico Bracchi, Pintarally Motorsport and the team, let’s move towards the goal with determinationlet’s fight.”
Lucchesi jr also continues for this 2024 his role as “ambassador” of the heritage and culture of Bagni di Lucca, conferred on him by the municipal administration. Important commitment and responsibility for Christopher who, honored by this patronage, will continue for the entire season its commitment to the maximum possible to promote and enhance the territory that saw it born and grow.
The 108th edition of the Targa Florio Rally will begin on Friday (10 May) at 7.30 with free practice and the qualifying stage, while the departure will be from Palermo, in Piazza Parliament at 3.00 pm. From there the competitors will face three special tests. The following day the remaining challenges are scheduled, three to be repeated twice. Arrival is expected at Termini Imerese at 6.30 pm.
