United Business with Bernardo Sousa at the International Rally il Ciocchetto 2011

The International Rally il Ciocchetto is always an event of great attraction, and is traditionally the pre-Christmas rally of the Italian season, this year the 20th edition will be held, and promises to be even more interesting than in recent years. United Business will be there with the crew of Portuguese driver Bernardo Sousa and co-driver Corrado Mancini, with whom this year Sousa has already raced in the Monza Rally Show.

They will be at the start with the Peugeot 207 S2000 of PA  Racing, a car with which the Portuguese driver has already done this year the Rallye du Valais and the Monza Rally Show. In recent years, United Business has always been present at the rally "Il Ciocchetto" because it is a unique race in its kind, in a natural setting of great beauty and that takes place without undue stress. This year the race will have a prize of 20,000 Euros and will be held from December 15th  to 18th, in two legs on Saturday and Sunday. "After Monza, - said Pier Liberali of United Business - seen the good feeling established between Sousa and Mancini, we decided to take part with great pleasure in the 2011 Ciocchetto, for Bernardo this will be a further experience in Italy in anticipation of his programme for the 2012 season. There are several offers for him, we will just have to decide together with the driver which is the best option, I did not expect such a great interest around his name by different teams, when we started to work together I was aware that it is difficult to find a talented driver, so young, but at the same time with so much experience at the highest international level, but I honestly did not think that we would receive all the offers we are getting for the next season. I am sure that together with him we will make the best choice. He is a great professional, both inside the car and outside the cockpit, I trust that he will have a great season in 2012 ".
