REVISED THE PATH CAUSED BY THE DAMAGE OF CERTAIN ROADS
Competition, exciting duels with the cars that have made the history of street racing and even culture. The added value of the Rallye Elba Storico have always been these and this 2013, to continue the tradition of excellence has struggled in greater way to draw the path. A difficulty date, for example, by the fact of not having full of traditional Stage par excellence, the ´Parata-Falconaia". Unfortunately, when the Organizers have to trace the route, the Provincial Road "Parata" was partially unusable for which they had to find alternatives.

The Organization has repeatedly called for the cooperation of the Province of Livorno in order to restore the thoroughfare in question also by virtue of being able to see her use with the summer season - so in the public interest - and not just for the competition .

The alternatives are not lacking: a new look inspired by the past is ready to give vibratory sensations to the crews, who will, however, before a fun track and mainly technical. Where you will also have a higher percentage of kilometers of special stages compared to the case of transfer.
There are again three days of challenges, with a total of 14 special stages, two more than in 2012. "Historic" paths, which have seen more than one occasion sporting exploits written in indelible ink.

CAPOLIVERI STILL THE HEART OF THE RACE
The broad consensus of the past years (seven nations represented among the competitors, approximately 7000 units recorded movement of these various roles with the event in 2012), has "forced" ACI Livorno Sport to redesign much of the recent past, then the result of choices made always thinking about who should qualify for the race, so teams, experts, enthusiasts and also and above all the territory.

Since 2011 the headquarters moved in Capoliveri, reconfirmed location that was also theater of a Special Stage that passes through the village, which will be repeated this year. The Rallye Elba will also touch Porto Azzurro, little town that was, until recently, stage of the modern rally that takes place in the spring. Moving the regroupment between the first special stage, the "Volterraio-Falconaia" and the second (the one just inside Capoliveri) will close the appetizing aperitif in the evening on Thursday, as well as to take a good part of the island, they sound like confirmation the active involvement of all the administrations of the territory.

Why the Rallye is understood as its own of the territory but also "for the territory", which promotes the image, communication and also the economic fallout with the emotional tourism, the island that resulted from the event itself.
Nothing changed, compared to the two previous editions, with regard to the logistics of the rally: the headquarters of the event is confirmed in Capoliveri, functional facilities at the Hotel Elba International, exclusive location that admires the Gulf of Porto Azzurro, where they will be organized the Race Direction, the Secretariat and the Press.
