THE SPORT SCENE REQUIRES TOPICS
In the continental context, many of the games are still open, but the results of the Elban appointment can assign some title.
In category 1 the Italian Antonio Parisi (Porsche 911) leads with a fair margin on his compatriot Carlo Fiorito (Porsche 911), and certainly the results in Elba could be decisive for the win of one of the two claimants.
Category 2 sees the French Eric Comas (Lancia Stratos) leading with a not too wide margin on the Finnish Ville Silvasti, so the transalpine on the island will have to make a full effort by exploiting the agility of the Queen car of the seventies and eighties rallies , but also beware of the danger, for both of them, who can come from Luciano Da Zanche (Porsche 911), one always been well inspired by Elba.
In Category 3 there is a duel between the Italian Maurizio Pagella (Porsche 911) and the other Finnish Pentti Veikkanen. They are close, certainly their dualism can produce a great show on the road.
Lucky (Lancia Delta 16V), in category 4, is largely leading on the Spanish Concueva, so it will be a formality, to acquire important points to get the title´s certainty.
The stories of the Italian Championship, on the other hand, will come to Elba with several question marks, after the end of August at the Rally Alpi Orientali. The titles of first and the second group could be decided on the island. Marco Dall´Acqua (Porsche 911) leads for five points this group on the paired Massimo Giuliani (Lancia Fulvia HF) and Antonio Parisi (Porsche 911), while in the second category Salvini (Porsche 911 Carrera), Bertinotti (Porsche 911) and Negri (Porsche 911) will play all for everything and Da Zanche, a little behind in the classificatoin, could be the balance needle. "Lucky" could grab the title in the fourth, looking for the fight, only for the second place, between Marco Bianchini and Elia Bossalini, being paired at 42 points after the Friuli rally. Finally, Rimoldi, Superti (both on Porsche 911) and Nerobutto (Opel Kadett GT/E), are separated between them only for 8 points in the third group.
THE HEART OF THE RACE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE CAPOLIVERI
With the broad consensus gained since 2011, when general logistics moved to Capoliveri, ACI Livorno Sport designed the 2017 edition, ready to consolidate the high quality offered in past editions. As a custom is an event that has been conceived for the whole island, just as its territory, but above all "for the territory", which favors the image, the communication and also the economic relapse with emotional tourism, Isolate from the event itself.
Nothing has changed compared to the previous four editions with regard to Rallye logistics: the Headquarters of the event is confirmed at Capoliveri at the functional and exclusive facilities of Hotel Elba International, exclusive location overlooking the Gulf of Porto Azzurro , where the Race Direction, the Secretariat and the Press Room will be organized.
THE PATH: TRADITION WITH SOME CHANGES
ACI Livorno Sport, has again scheduled three days of challenges, with a total of 10 Special Tests (134,000 kilometers of competitive, that is, 30% of the total distance - 446,580 km). They are "historical" trails, which have seen in more than one fascinating sporting event.
Much has been done to track the recent past, some changes have been made to comply with international standards, especially with regard to the tests to be carried out in the dark, but in any case going to the maximum permitted mileage, just to make the challenge as usually passionate and full of impressive sports technical ideas. Security is an indispensable topic, the organization has always shown great sensitivity to the theme and again this year reconfirms this factor at the highest levels.
A revamped look, however, but not too much, which will surely be appreciated by those who will run, who will have ahead of him a Rally ready to convey those vibrant feelings that it is possible to "hear" only a race on the Elban roads.
THE RACE PROGRAM
The Rallye Elba Storico will start in the evening of Thursday, September 21st: from 19.00, competitors will descend from the ramp in Capoliveri, Piazza Matteotti, and will immediately face up the "Due Colli" (12,290 km) and "Capoliveri" (Km 4,900), in the classic circuit in the town.

The second day of the race, Friday 22 September, which will resume at 8.30, provides for four more specials, with a final day at 16.00, always in Capoliveri.
The next day, on Saturday, September 23, the big finals, with four more stretches: the challenges will start at 08.30 and the checkered flag, always in Capoliveri, will flutter from 14.00.
