As regarding the Rally, theoretical lessons started today which will be followed by practical exercises at the wheel of the Fiat Panda 100HP, Renault Twingo R2, Renault Clio R3 and Renault Mégane R4 on the north side of the circuit of Vallelunga. In the evening the activities will be moved to the exercise area of the ACI-SARA Safe Driving Center for wet driving and for exercises with skid and resin carpets with low grip coefficients. On day two, after the theory scheduled for the morning session, the north side of the circuit will house two different paths to which a night “stage” located within the Safe Driving Center will be added.
