Italian Baja 2018

24 June 2018

 

Italian Baja 2018Round 6, FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup .

 

  • MINI wins Italian Baja for second successive year.
  • MINI JOHN Cooper Works Rally crew of Jakub ‘Kuba’ Przygonski and co-driver Tom Colsoul dominate Italian Baja 2018.
  • Przygonski wins Italian Baja 2018 to retain lead of 2018 FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup.
  • Amos Eugenio and co-driver Filipe Palmeiro successfully complete Italian Baja 2018 in a second MINI racing car.

 

Munich. If ever there was any pressure on Jakub ‘Kuba’ Przygonski (POL) to retain his lead of the 2018 FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup – and repeat his winning result of the 2017 edition of Italian Baja – the young Polish rally star showed absolutely no signs, while on his way to winning Italian Baja 2018.

 

Przygonski drove a virtually immaculate race to win Italian Baja 2018 in a MINI John Cooper Works Rally. Of the six Special Stages that made up the 443.49km race distance, Przygonski and co-driver Tom Colsoul (BEL) won five stages and narrowly missed out on making it a straight six by finishing second in the Super Special Stage, missing out on the win by just 0.7sec.

 

Today’s result (Sunday 24th June) gave Przygonski maximum race points maintains to increase slightly his overall lead at the head of a close and hard chasing pack in this year’s 2018 FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup. There now remains five more rounds of the Rally World Cup championship. The next round is Baja Spain 2018, 20-22 July 2018.

 

The second MINI Family crew of Eugenio Amos (ITA) and co-driver Filipe Palmeiro (POR) completed the Italian Baja in 21st. In only their second race as a partnership in a MINI racing car, this new pairing’s confidence and team spirit is growing with every race.

 

Jakub ‘Kuba’ Przygonski: “We are so happy. It was a good race for us. We won five stages although we had to fight to the end with second placed car – sometime we could feel their breath on our back. At the end we had to push.

 

“Today was also good because we gained maximum points, which is really important when fighting for the World Cup. During this race our MINI John Cooper Works Rally was perfect and we had no issues. Tom made a really good job. We didn’t have any mistakes with navigation or cooperation; this is really important when racing with maximum speed and maximum risk. I’d like to say thank you to all of the team for all of their support.”

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
