Montichiari (Brescia), 21 April 2007 – They are really fantastic these “Italian Trophy GT Rally Cars”, which have amused all the people at this 31ST Rally 1000 Miglia, from Thursday evening at Castrezzato Circuit, till yesterday on the various Special Stages. The Finnish Toni Gardemeister, co-drived by Tomi Tominen, have won the competition on their Nissan 350Z owned to Astra Team.

He says: “It’s a great car to be discovered and there are still a lot of things to do in order to improve it. We are only at its first competition. This car has gone really well on “1000 Miglia” tracks, even if we have suffered for the normal road tyres”.

Second place for Aldo Calabrini and Marco Verdelli (Porsche Cayman S – Autorlando Sport). Third is Nicola Patuzzo and Gianluigi Poggese (Porsche 911 GT3 – Martini). Gianluca Canobbio and Matteo Braga (Aston Martin V8 Vantage), Angelo Crescini and Piergiorgio Righettini (Porche 911 GT3) have retired: the first ones due to transmission break and the second ones, for the break steering.

Final classification of “Italian Trophy GT Rally Cars”: 1. Gardemeister-Tuominen (Nissan 350Z) in 45’57’’6; 2. Calabrini-Verdelli (Porsche Cayman S) at 1’42’’8; 3. Patuzzo-Poggese (Porsche 911 GT3) at 1’48’’9.
