Tout Terrain Rally Cup:
Ro Rally Marathon
Last year’s winner Nicola Quinto kicked off the 2024 Ro Rally Marathon with a dominant overall win in the third round of the Tout Terrain Rally Cup in Râmnicu Sărat, Romania.
This prestigious event brought together rally raid and off-road motorsport enthusiasts from all over Europe and was organized under the aegis of FIM Europe and FRM.
The challenge started last Sunday with a pre-race show at the city hall and finished today. 7 days of action with over 1500 km of Special Tests and 2.000 km of total race: impressive distances and passages through picturesque landscapes and extremely challenging terrain.
After the official first day of races, on Thursday the race was canceled for safety measures due to bad weather conditions with heavy rain and highly muddy slippery areas. Back to the action on Wednesday, riders found very challenging conditions.
Italian’s Quinto, who won the event last season, started the seven-day race at the front of almost thirty competitors and sat the leadership for the whole time. He ruled the Overall and also M2 class.
Ejder Tekin Eristi won in M1 class, while Matteo Bottino in M3 class, both dominating from the start to the end. Great performance also for Jean-Philippe Révolte, winner of the M4 class. The M5 class was fought to the last with the triumph of another Italian rider, Francesco Puocci. Suleyman Aydin won M6 class.
Now a break of over 3 months: the next and last race of the Tout Terrain Rally Cup will be held in Portugal at the beginning of December.
