Repubblica di San Marino, 5 July 2014 – The Tuscan driver Paolo Andreucci and his co-driver from Friuli Anna Andreussi, on Peugeot 208 T16 R5, won the 42nd San Marino Rally, fifth race of the Italian Rally Championship and second of the Gravel Trophy. The Tuscan led the Veronese Umberto Scandola and Guido D'Amore, Skoda Fabia Super 2000, while the third place went to Giandomenico Basso and Mitia Dotta, GPL powered Ford Fiesta R5.

As regarding Scandola's result, the games are not over yet. A technical complaint during the race was filed by Paolo Andreucci's team F.P.F. Sport Srl Racing Lions about the tires fitted on the Skoda which resulted in Scandola's disqualification. This sanction has been suspended though due to a counter-appeal filed by Skoda to be debated in the coming weeks.

Back on the road, very good fourth place for Simone Campedelli and Danilo Fappani, Ford Fiesta R5, as the pairing has been very quick in day two after losing a lot of time in day one due to some brakes problems.

In the Gravel Trophy the driver from Trento, Renato Travaglia, hauled heavy points on his Peugeot 207 Super 2000 after a long battle with Luigi Ricci, Ford Fiesta R5, who had to stop due to a double puncture when nearly eyeing the stop line. The home hero Filippo Reggini on Skoda Fabia S2000 confirmed to be among the protagonists on the gravel as did Alessandro Tonso who eneded third on the Ford Fiesta R5.

Among the youngsters, to be highlighted is the performance put in by Alessandro Tolfo, the driver from Marostica selected for ACI Team Italia, who ended tenth absolute on his Peugeot 207 Super 2000 proceeding the Finn MIkko Pajunen, who won the Renault Clio R3 Trophy, and fellow ACI Team Italia's color bearer from Este, Nicolò Marchioro, who ended second in the Renault Trophy.
