  • The presentation, at the Wine Museum in Berchidda, was also attended by Regional Councillor Gianni Chessa, Aci Sardegna President Giulio Pes and Berchidda Mayor Andrea Nieddu
  • The scenic Wine Museum in Berchidda hosted this afternoon the presentation of the 20th Rally dei Nuraghi e del Vermentino, a race with a tricolor triple title that will be run on September 15-16.

The event, organized by Rassinaby Racing with the support of the Regional Tourism and Sports Departments, will be valid for the Italian Rally Terra Championship, the Zone 9 Rally Cup, the Sardinia Aci Sport Regional Delegation Championship and the Pirelli Star Rally4 Terra Trophy and the N5 Italia Trophy. Alongside the modern rally, also on the program is the Rally Historicu, now in its fifth edition titled for the Rally Terra Storiche Championship and the Regional, and the 4th Baja Vermentino Terre di Gallura, valid for the Italian Cross Country Championship and Ssv.

The president of Rassinaby Racing, Alessandro Taras, said, "To be here again after 20 years is no small emotion, as simple enthusiasts which we have always been we had taken a simple path but then managed to get here. There is no shortage of tracks in Sardinia and we have managed to grow. Then at the end of 2017, the choice to switch from asphalt to dirt, which had surprised everyone but eventually paid off, as the tricolour titles came. We have an earth race in which even the transfers are almost exclusively on earth, and we thank Forestas for this possibility. Our Rally is also promotion of the territory: last year we had gone to promote the race in Spain, this year we went to Finland and, thanks to this transfer, we will have a Finnish crew in the race."

Regional Councillor for Tourism, Handicrafts and Trade, Gianni Chessa, connected by videoconference, said, "The Rally of the Nuraghi and Vermentino is a sporting event that lengthens our tourist season, promotes a Sardinia that goes beyond the sea giving it an international showcase. We are honored, as a council, to also support the Monte Acuto and Gallura territories involved in the race. We are on the right track, and the numbers prove it: the combination of sports-collateral events, in this case also food and wine and cultural events, make it possible to make Sardinia's potential and heritages even more known. Congratulations and thanks to the organizers of Rassinaby Racing, Aci and all those who work for the success of the event."

Giulio Pes di San Vittorio, president of Aci Sardegna and Aci Sassari, said, "It is not easy to organize a race for 20 years, keep an association together and always raise the bar. Rassinaby Racing on the other hand is doing it, so congratulations from me and from Daniele Settimo, chairman of the Rally Commission. As Aci Sassari we are carrying out a study, based on the one carried out in 2019 for Rally Italia Sardegna, to quantify the economic impact on the territory generated by motoring events."

The mayor of Berchidda, Andrea Nieddu, said, "Many thanks to President Alessandro Taras and all Rassinaby Racing for their tenacious, passionate and continuous work, so much so that we are celebrating the 20th birthday of the Rally. It is important for our community that this conference is hosted in a place of the history and culture of our identity and that thanks to Rassinaby it is able to find the opening to the Peninsula as well. It has done a great job of territorial promotion, the Municipal Administration is proud of the associations that know how to systematize and be part of the community. We will show that our rally makes system, Berchidda will be the epicenter but in all these years you have been able to involve the municipal administrations and make known the natural beauty of the whole territory."

The president of Coni Sardegna, Bruno Perra, also commented on the 20th edition of the Rally dei Nuraghi e del Vermentino: "We wish you all the best for the success of the 20th edition of the Rally dei Nuraghi e del Vermentino, a round valid for the Cirt (Italian Rally Terra Championship). An extraordinary achievement that gives credit to your organization which, every year, grows with its improvements and makes the event more and more attractive, giving luster to the island, national and international rally world. Kudos to all of you and best wishes for two days of high-level racing."
