RENAULT CLASSIC AT RALLYLEGEND WITH RENE’ ARNOUX AND ALAIN SERPAGGI
A collection that embodies 110 years of history and comprises more than 700 vehicles. Renault Classic is also an important name in motorsport and has decided to send three precious ‘gems’ to Rallylegend. Set to take part in the “Parade” are a Renault 5 Turbo Maxi Diac entrusted to René Arnoux, a champion who needs no introduction, and two Alpine A110 cars, in the capable hands of Alain Serpaggi, a veteran French driver whose prestigious career began in the 60s, and Jean Pierre Prevost. In addition, the Renault RS10, a 1979 Formula 1, and Renault Mute The Hot Rod will all be on display.
STIG BLOMQVIST, ARTURO MERZARIO AND PATRICK SNIJERS AMONG THE SPECIAL GUESTS
1984 world rally champion Stig Blomqvist returns to Rallylegend and will line up among the Legend Stars with an Audi Quattro S1, the manufacturer with which he scored the world title. Arturo Merzario will also be back at the San Marino event. The talented driver, who has competed in every speed discipline including Formula 1 and Sport Prototypes, will be at the wheel of a rare group 5 Lancia Stratos Turbo. Belgian Patrick Snijers won the 1994 European rally title and has decided to attend Rallylegend with an unusual and very striking group 4 Chevrolet Corvette.
KRISTOFFERSSON AND VEIBY TO PUT ON A SHOW WITH THE AUDI S1 RX
It took only a few corners to win over the demanding Rallylegend crowd and now the powerful 600 hp rallycross Audi S1 cars are back, adapted especially for the San Marino track. The JC Raceteknik team has big plans and will field two vehicles in San Marino. One will be driven by Swede Johan Kristoffersson, five-time WorldRX champion and the winner of various track titles including two Touring championships and three editions of the Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia, who attends Rallylegend for the first time, while the second is entrusted to Norwegian Ole Christian Veiby, who has competed in WRC2 as a factory driver for Skoda, VW and Hyundai. The pair are sure to put on a show among the Legend Stars, in a line-up of drivers who cannot wait to get sideways.
“ODD COUPLE” GRYAZIN AND THUL TO RACE WITH A DELTA INTEGRALE
Russian talent Nikoly Gryazin is one of the stars of WRC2. His unexpected navigator at Rallylegend will be Peter Thul, Senior Director Sport at WRC Promoter, who is also a big fan of the San Marino event. This “odd couple” will line up among the Classics aboard the K-Sport Lancia Delta Integrale, with the race promising to be a real battle!
