Italian Rally Championship 2013 is on

The United Business crew, Luca Rossetti and Matteo Chiarcossi, will take part in the 36th Rally Il Ciocco, the opening round of the Italian Championship, which will take place on 22nd to 24th March in Garfagnana - Tuscany, at the wheel of the Mitsubishi Evo X - R4 with Pirelli tyres and supplied by Promo Racing Team of Saronno (www.promoracingteam.it), a brand new structure whose fleet currently consists of two Mitsubishi Evo X R4 and an Abarth 500 R3T.

For Rossetti and Chiarcossi this is a return to the Italian Rally Championship, after a 2012 season which saw them winning the title of Turkish Champions. The 36th Rally "Il Ciocco" will be, for the three-time European Champion, a test event in the wait to define the programmes for the 2013 season, in this race Promo Racing Team will provide the car and the technical assistance both on the event and in the tests planned next week.

Pier Liberali of United Business: "It will be really interesting to see Luca Rossetti in this test race, with a new car for him, in a race that he knows well and fancies very much. The team is showing great enthusiasm and excellent professionalism also thanks to the support of RalliArt Italy and I am convinced that it will be a great experience and that Luca will entertain the fans. Being a test event with a car completely unknown to him, the priority will be to gather mileage and be at the finish. In these weeks we are finishing off the programmes for Rossetti-Chiarcossi in the 2013 season, unfortunately the international economic situation has led to delays in their definition, but we are not short of offers. I would like to thank Promo Racing Team for their offer, as well as Pirelli and Ralliart Italy for their cooperation"

"Il Ciocco" is a classic event of the Italian championship and this year too the biggest pitfall of this beautiful rally that is staged on the Tuscan Apennines is represented by the weather, very variable in this season.
