Two crews ready for the Roger Albert Clark Rally, Romagna targets the Tandalò crown, and Novak set for action at Rally Santa Domenica
MS Munaretto is gearing up for one of the most demanding weeks of the season, simultaneously tackling three major European events with teams and cars lined up at the Roger Albert Clark Rally (UK), the Cronoscalata di Tandalò (Italy) and Rally Santa Domenica (Croatia).
RAC RALLY: HOELBLING–GRASSI AND TADDEI–GASPARI AMONG THE SIX ITALIAN CREWS IN ACTION
The 2025 edition of the Roger Albert Clark Rally, the United Kingdom’s most prestigious rally event and home to some of the World Rally Championship’s most iconic gravel stages, will get underway tomorrow, Thursday 20 November, from Carmarthen, in the heart of Wales, before concluding on Monday 24 November in Carlisle, Cumbria.
A monumental route awaits the competitors: 35 special stages, over 2,000 km of total distance, and 504.36 km of competitive sections. A true endurance rally, suited only to the toughest crews.
MS Munaretto fields two of the only six Italian crews entered:
- Luca Hoelbling – Mauro Grassi, aboard the Lancia Ypsilon Rally4 #52, ready to tackle gravel roads made legendary by decades of world-level rallying.
- Alessandro Taddei – Andrea Gaspari, taking the start with the Lancia Ypsilon Rally4 #63, facing a demanding challenge of consistency and speed on some of Europe’s most selective terrain.
A strong Italian presence, further confirming the team’s international commitment.
TANDALÒ: ROMAGNA READY TO FIGHT FOR THE “KING OF TANDALÒ” TITLE
At the same time, in Sardinia, MS Munaretto will also be in the spotlight at the Cronoscalata Atipica di Tandalò, scheduled from 20 to 23 November in Buddusò. Now in its ninth edition, the event has become a cult appointment for motorsport fans across the island and beyond.
Simone Romagna will take to the course with the Škoda Fabia RS, aiming for a top-level result in an event that every year attracts record numbers of participants and spectators.
The weekend schedule includes:
- Friday 21 November: technical and sporting checks, recce, and the ceremonial start.
- Saturday 22 November: shakedown and the first three competitive runs, valid for the Atipica and Experimental categories as well as the Trofeo d’Italia.
- Sunday 23 November: the final two decisive climbs and, for the top performers, access to the traditional Manscione, the head-to-head shootout that crowns the “King of Tandalò”.
RALLY SANTA DOMENICA: NOVAK–OCVIRK READY TO MAKE THEIR MARK
The team’s third international commitment will bring MS Munaretto to Croatia, near Zagreb, for the popular and widely celebrated Rally Santa Domenica.
On the start line:
- Novak Aljoša – Ocvirk Uroš, aboard the Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 #8.
The rally consists of five special stages totalling 30.91 km, supported by a demanding 14.20 km shakedown with up to five permitted runs. Fast, technical roads—particularly treacherous in wet conditions—will make the challenge especially selective.
With three major events unfolding across Europe, MS Munaretto is set for an exceptionally intense weekend, ready once again to prove its presence at the very highest levels of European rallying.
