A thin autumn drizzle accompanied by fog is providing the backdrop for the ninth Special Rally Circuit 2025 by Vedovati Corse, which got off to a regular start this morning from the platform located in the avenue between the two paddocks where the protagonists will return for the celebrations in mid-afternoon.

At the start, after technical and sporting scrutineering, 79 competitors for modern cars and 2 for historic cars. A car change is reported: Simone De Martini, flanked by former Italian champion Lucio Baggio, will use a Skoda Fabia instead of the announced Toyota Yaris Gr Rally2.

On Saturday between reconnaissance, free practice sessions and shakedowns the competitors began to taste the track, which since mid-afternoon started to get wet due to rain. The weather could blow the predictions out of the water: the powerful Wrc+ of Brusa-Zanazio, Mezzatesta-Vitali and Dall’Era Zanelli will have an even harder time against the multi-titled Andrea Crugnola, the tracky Marco Butti or the newly crowned Croatian rally champion Matteo Bernini, Linossi or Puricelli.

Free entrance, parking fee. After the first special, started at 8.38 a.m., the program includes three more specials: 2 – Special Vedovati (19.620 km) will start at 11.09 a.m.; 3 – Vedovati (23.780 km) at 1.36 p.m.; 4 – second pass on Special Vedovati at 4.07 p.m. The total mileage is 89.170 km, of which 86.8 timed.

The first car is expected at the finish line at 4:30 pm. The rankings will be posted at 6:45 p.m.
