Every year, the Organizing Committee incessantly works to meet expectations of whole island, building the best edition ever seen and maximizing its competitive character, to grow more and more the international notoriety of the area as well as the race, why we believe that is not only the national symbol of automotive sport. We do this with enthusiasm and passion, even thinking to the emotions that only automotive sport can deliver."
THREE OFFICIAL TITLES (TWO "INTERNATIONAL"!) TO CELEBRATE THE SILVER ANNIVERSARY OF THE "ELBA GRAFFITI"
No more only two, but three. As the number of official titles for which the 2012 Elban events will be eligible: the European and Italian Rally Championships for Rally Elba Storico, and the FIA Trophy for Historic Regularity Rallies, for the first time, for "Elba Graffiti".
After the experiment of 2011 asked specifically by the F.IA. to arrange a regularity rally, in fact this year, on the occasion of his 25th edition, the Graffiti (born a year before the Rally Elba Storico) will be the seventh round of the 11 scheduled for the European Trophy.
This specialty is an evolution of classical regularity, certainly with more agonism.
The rankings are determined based on the performance of the competitors on the regularity test sections where wins who is more accurate in respect of the hourly averages, not always equal, established from time to time by the organizers, which will arrange even surprise checks along the route.
NEWS ON THE ROUTE: HERE ARE THE STAGES "PARATA-VOLTERRAIO" AND "POGGIO-LA PILA"
Faithful to its inspiration that always tries to give added value to the event, the Organizing Committee has redesigned part of the route, to make even more exciting the challenge, to prevent it from becoming granted, although granted on the roads of Elba there´s never anything. The days of competition once again will be three, with the scheduled departure from Capoliveri at 20.00 on Thursday 20 September. Competitors will face the first news running across the "Parata-Volterraio" (km. 14.260), two names of stages that alone are linked to myth and that together they will make ... great stuff. It has never been ran, and will certainly be appreciated by the fans of Elban race. Starting from Cavo, the crews will run the "Parata" up to Rio nell´Elba and from there they will fit in the second part of the stage ("Volterraio") towards Magazzini, admiring, in the downhill, the Gulf of Portoferraio. The other novelty is the introduction of "Poggio-La Pila" (km. 15.500), very similar to the "Due Mari" as ran until the 1980s, with the transit inside the village of Sant´Ilario and characterized by some spectacular downhill hairpins in the last part.
AND ALSO, A ... RAIN OF TROPHIES
A location so exclusive, so fascinating will catalyze the attention all round the world of historic rallies. Why even this year the Rally Elba Storico will be eligible for some important trophies, which will certainly give value to the event. There will be the Trofeo A112 Abarth, the "Trofeo della Regina" ("of the Queen"), dedicated to the Lancia Fulvia HF, the "Trofeo Fiat 127", in addition to Challenge Rally Autostoriche 2012 and the Challenge Italia 2012.
RACE SCHEDULE
As already mentioned, the start will be from Capoliveri at 20.00 on Thursday 20 September, and after the "Parata-Volterraio" the crews will race the spectacle stage of Capoliveri (km. 4.760), repeated for the third year in a row by popular demand, and the arrival of the first part of the race is scheduled at 23.07, when the competitors will enter the nocturnal regroupment.
The following day, Friday 21 September will resume the first leg: from 08.30 at 16.42, the crews will duel on four more stages, "Parata-Nisporto" (km. 12.140) that in the second round will be shorter, in the "Parata-Nisportino" version (10.300 Km) and the "Monte Perone" twice (14.250 Km).
