The Fabia Super 2000 put in a strong run that bettered all rivals, that were all R5 category cars, setting a superior pace on the fast gravel. Among the positive surprises of the 22nd Rally Adriatico the good performance put in by Sebastien Chardonnet. The young French of team Ford Racing confirmed all the quality he displayed in the past in the wrc3 world championship, setting great times despite being at the debut on the gravel on his Fiesta R5.
