22/06/09 - Keyword: 2010

If you had talked to Gigi in these months, you would have often heard the same key word: 2010. The driver from Livigno did all his best to organise a program with the Focus of Stobart Team for this season, but the difficult economical situation, affecting all business fields, made even tougher finding sponsors that could support his return to the competitions in 2009.

“2009 was born under an unlucky star – explains Gigi – “We got the bases for running a part-time program but the available budget would have allowed me to contest a few events only, without any guarantee of continuity. I did not want it. Therefore I have focused all my efforts on 2010. We are assessing different opportunities, but the final decision about what we will be doing and with which car has still to be taken.

New regulations of rallying in the future have been outlined, and we will address our choice also taking this side into account.

Talks with Malcom Wilson, Stobart and Pirelli have never stopped. I introduced them my ideas and my projects. Their reaction has been positive.

What I can say without any doubts is that I feel like driving a rally car...at the top level!

A new rally season is approaching

Through many means (emails, facebook and messages left on the guestbook) many of you have asked for news about Gigi’s next season.

That’s why he wishes to inform all the fans, through this letter, about his current situation.

Gigi is in touch with Malcom Wilson (M-Sport director) in the joint effort to arrange a programme in the World Rally Championship, in order to make him driving a Ford Focus in the highest possible number of events. At the moment part of the required budget is still missing and Gigi is working very hard on it.

Gigi devoted his whole life – and a thigh-bone – struggling to reach the top world rally series and he does not mean to give up today.

As many of you already know, Gigi will skip the first two events of the 2009 season, Ireland and Norway. We strongly hope he can come back to rallying at the soonest, as all fans need to feel again those thrilling emotions they have been missing since last August.
