Rallying in Italy

Rallying in Italy is a fairly well-practiced motorsport. Italian drivers have become the World Rally Champions twice in history; both were Miki Biasion in the years 1988 and 1989. In 1977, Sandro Munari won the FIA Cup for Drivers (unofficial World Rally Championship Drivers' champion). Italians have also achieved 30 rally wins, the last of which with Piero Liatti at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1997.[1][2]

Miki Biasion became the World Rally Champion twice with Lancia Delta Integrale.
