Alessandro Perico and Fabrizio Carrarra win Rally 1000 Miglia

Perico - Carrara 1st overall in the 37th Rally 1000 Miglia, the second round of the 2013 Italian Rally Championship. Sunday morning with two stages before the end the advantage was of only 20", but showing great maturity Perico held a fast and steady pace to claim the victory; the last two stages reflect the behaviour during the race of the new leader of the Italian Rally Championship, as well as during the previous two days, he made no mistakes and always evaluated the risks he could take without ever exaggerating, this conduct forced his opponents to push to the limit to try to match his "steamroller" pace, and in turn they made mistakes which allowed Perico a well deserved victory.

Before the race, he had said "There is no point in hiding, I am here to try to win", he tried and did it, goal reached!

Perico took his second overall victory in a round of the Italian Rally Championship: the first was at the Sanremo Rally, now at 1000 Miglia; Two victories in two rallies which by tradition, prestige and history are in the Olympus of world rallying, two wins of great prestige, "We believed in it from the day before, I came to 1000 Miglia to win, I never hid my goal - said Perico on the podium in Brescia - we did it, and I say we, because Pa Racing gave me a perfect car, Pirelli provided tyres which performed very well as usual, Terenzio Testoni, manager of Pirelli, gave me constant support in terms of advice and tyre choice. Fabrizio and I have raced with extreme lucidity and we believe we have shown that we can compete at the highest levels, this victory is not only ours but also belongs to Pa Racing, Pirelli, United Business and all my advertising partners, beginning with Offshore Limited, to them all I dedicate the victory and I send my thanks". With this victory, coupled with second place in Ciocco, Perico has jumped in the lead of the 2013 Italian Championship with 27 points, five more than his closest rival. As previously announced, even after this wonderful and prestigious victory, the participation of the United Business driver in the next events of the championship is not yet confirmed: Perico's professional commitments, the confirmation of the support of some advertising partners and the possibility to contest some events abroad, do not allow currently to have any certainty about the continuation of the 2013 Italian Rally Championship for the winner of the 2013 Rally 1000 Miglia.
