The Schio-based team heads to the gravel of the San Marino Rally with Constant, Hoelbling and Romagna,
while Oriella, Sambugaro, Panato and Griso will line up at the Rallye San Martino di Castrozza.
MS Munaretto is set for another intense weekend, with a double commitment taking the Venetian squad onto two very different stages: the gravel roads of the 54th San Marino Rally and the asphalt of the 46th Rallye San Martino di Castrozza.
Two events, seven crews and a demanding sporting programme await the Schio-based team, called upon to manage different surfaces, rhythms and technical challenges across the same weekend.
On the gravel roads between the Republic of San Marino and the Montefeltro area, one of the most eagerly awaited rounds of the Italian Gravel Rally Championship, MS Munaretto will field three Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 cars.
Car number 7 will be entrusted to Louis Constant and Maxime Martini, both from France, who arrive on the back of a top-ten finish at the Rally Adriatico and are looking to add further consistency to a steadily growing campaign. In the Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 number 11, Luca Hoelbling and Mauro Grassi will also be aiming to build on their strong Adriatico outing, where they likewise finished inside the overall top ten, as they take on another highly selective gravel challenge.
Completing the San Marino line-up will be Simone Romagna, co-driven by Dino Lamonato, in the Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 number 15. For Romagna, the event marks a return to the cockpit after the Rally Città di Foligno, with the aim of regaining rhythm and confidence on a rally that, as tradition dictates, leaves very little room for improvisation. The San Marino Rally route will feature special stages with a strong historic flavour, including Terra di San Marino, Piandimeleto Lunano and Torrente Apsa, the latter also set to bring the contest to a close as the Power Stage.
At the same time, MS Munaretto will also be in action on the Trentino roads of the Rallye San Martino di Castrozza, an event with enduring charm that combines its Dolomite setting with a technical route much appreciated by crews. The Cittadina stage on Friday evening will open the rally in the heart of San Martino, before Saturday’s action on the Manghen, Val Malene and Gobbera stages.
Running with number 8 will be Paolo Oriella and Sandra Tommasini in a Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, ready to begin their 2026 season from this very event. Car number 12 will see Michele Sambugaro and Mauro Cumerlato in action, also aboard a Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, with the clear objective of turning the page after the Rally del Bardolino, where a puncture compromised a run that had been keeping them firmly in the top-ten fight.
There will also be space for Tiziano Panato and Milena Danese, entered with number 20 in a Peugeot 207 S2000, as they return to competition after the Rallye Elba on a rally that will demand precision and feeling, especially through the more technical sections. Completing the MS Munaretto presence will be Michele Griso and Alex Guion, starting with number 36 in the Lancia Ypsilon Rally4, following on from the Val d’Orcia and ready to continue their work with the Turin-built car.
For MS Munaretto, it will therefore be a weekend played out on two fronts, with the gravel of San Marino and the asphalt of San Martino di Castrozza once again highlighting the team’s versatility and its ability to tackle different sporting programmes with the same level of focus, preparation and ambition.
