With programmes in 2002, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, Peugeot’s Italian subsidiary has long been active in topflight rallying and has been associated with Paolo Andreucci throughout this period. Today’s result enabled Peugeot Italy to claim its seventh Italian Manufacturers’ crown. This year, its programme has been based on both the 208R2 and the 207 S2000 as a function of the characteristics of each round. True, Paolo Andreucci, who topped the points table ahead of the extremely competitive Rallye Sanremo, made a mistake on SS7, but it was his first error in 53 outings, and there is every reason to predict further title success in the years ahead as the team switches to the new 208 T16! |
