It is the first victory for the crew from Brescia, who managed to prevail over two former winners such as Belometti-Ricca and Aliverti-Merlo
The father-and-son crew from Brescia, representing Scuderia Brescia Corse, secured their long-awaited first success in the event, taking the win at the wheel of a 1937 Lancia Aprilia, which started on Thursday from Madonna di Campiglio carrying number 1 on its doors.
Second place was decided by a photo finish and went to their team-mates Andrea Belometti and Cristian Ricca, authors of a remarkable late charge in their 1937 Fiat 508 C. The top two crews finished the rally with the same number of penalties, but victory was awarded to the Turellis’ thanks to the tie-break rule, which favoured their better performance on the first precision time trial.
Runner up were Alberto Aliverti and Yuri Merlo (Fiat 508 C, 1937) unable to repeat their success from the 2025 edition, they nevertheless delivered a strong and convincing performance, earning the Persol Trophy for the best overall result on the trials held on the Passo Tonale Ice Track.
The event, which concluded late on Friday night with the cars returning to the centre of Madonna di Campiglio, ran smoothly without major issues. Only a few retirements, caused by mechanical problems, prevented some crews from reaching the finish. Thanks to the valuable work of race marshals, timekeepers and the entire organisational staff deployed along the route, the event was brought to a successful conclusion – despite the necessary cancellation of some trials – even after the unexpected denial received from the Autonomous Province of Bolzano just a few hours before the start.
Among the special classifications, victory in the Under 30 category went to Bellini-Bordogna (Porsche 911, 1974), while the women’s classification was won by Emanuela Cinelli and Luisa Ciatti in an Innocenti Mini Cooper Mk II (1969).
Among foreign crews, first place went to Swiss brothers Ferruccio and Carlo Nessi in a Morris Mini Cooper S Mk I (1965), while Celestino and Oreste Sangiovanni of Franciacorta Motori Team claimed victory in the Regularity Test classification with their Porsche 356 A Coupé (1959).
The BPER Trophy for the best Youngtimer car (vehicles built between 1977 and 1992) was awarded to Gianluigi and Federico Smussi in a 1989 Panda 4×4.
In the Teams classification, victory went to Brescia Corse, thanks to the results achieved by Turelli, Belometti and Bellini-Tiberti, ahead of Franciacorta Motori.
The show resumed on Saturday morning with the Sparco Trophy, a new format that allowed all participants to challenge each other in a single trial measured to the thousandth of a second in Piazza Righi, broadcasted live on social media channels, in which Sala-Cioffi prevailed on the 1937 Lancia Aprilia with 3 thousandths of a second off the set time and overtook the 1936 Fiat 1500 of Busi-Bicelli (10 thousandths) and the 1973 Fiat X/19 of Tondelli-Fichera (11 thousandths).
