RALLY. Arzà and Righetti off the podium by a second at the 'Motors show'

Podium missed by just one second. Confirmations are arriving, however, from the return to collaboration in the cockpit between the driver Claudio Arzà and the navigator Simona Righetti, companions and parents (of little Enea) in everyday life. The crew representing the La Spezia stable Bb Competition achieved fourth place overall in the Motors Rally Show, on the route of the Castelletto Circuit, in Castelletto di Branduzzo (Pavia). At the wheel of the Michelin-shod Skoda Fabia RS (entered by Erreffe Rally Team), the crew from La Spezia took fourth place overall at that minimum distance from third. A result that could have taken on more marked contours, with Arzà maintaining third place until the last special stage, characterized by an improvement in the asphalt conditions that – in fact – favored the habitués of track racing and not those of rally extraction. Three years after their last collaboration, which coincided with the 'silver medal' at the Castelletto Circuit, Claudio Arzà and Simona Righetti imposed a high pace on their opponents. Class A6 first and third place in the women's standings, for Deborah Casazza, at her first experience behind the wheel. For the young Bb Competition standard-bearer, the Motors Rally Show confirmed itself as the ideal testing ground to acquire mileage on the Citroën Saxo, shared with Luca Raspini.
