Max Rendina is ready to tread the rally scene again as a driver. After successes in the World Championship, in the Italian Championship and after having elevated the Rally of Rome Capital as an organizer, Rendina will sit again behind a steering wheel for a full sports program after the spot races that have occasionally involved him in recent years. The first opportunity will be Wednesday, February 21 for a pre-season test at Terelle (Frosinone) on a stretch of the Lazio Rally route, the event that with his direction and the work of M33 has risen to the national limelight of recent seasons earning the title in the Italian Rally Trophy for the next March 22-23. Rendina chose this stretch of road precisely for its technical completeness, not surprisingly the "Terelle" test will be the longest of the next Lazio Rally.
Red Bull, Horner's position worsens: offered almost a million euros to cover up the news Rendina, already World Champion "Production" in the FIA World Rally Championship 2014 and Italian Production Champion in 2012 plans to tackle some appointments of the Slovenian Championship 2024 starting from the famous 13th Rally Vipavska dolina 2024 scheduled for next May. He will be at the wheel of a Skoda Fabia R5 managed by Motorsport Italia, flanked by the navigator with whom he shared some of the main successes: Emanuele Inglesi. The car will be fitted with Pirelli tires, a brand that has always supported Rendina since the beginning of his career. Despite 180 participations, 8 overall victories and as many as 40 class victories, despite the many priorities that bind him to the organizational role of the Rally of Rome Capital and the Lazio Rally and the many institutional commitments due to his position as President of the Regional Sports Commission of Lazio, Rendina has found a way to carve out a space to be able to return to the cockpit with the aim of further enriching the palmares. Max Rendina: "I am very happy to be able to get back behind the wheel. The desire to run has always been there, but the many commitments obviously forced me to shift priorities. I found a way to organize this program in the Slovenian Championship and I am sure I can give my best in this series: I don't know it directly because I have never raced there, but it is particularly intense and the level is not to be underestimated. Rallying is growing rapidly in Slovenia and not only and this can guarantee significant visibility, not just local. Tomorrow morning I will have the opportunity to test the Skoda Fabia R5 at Terelle and although it will be a test aimed at getting back in touch with all the automatisms more than a year after the last time it will also allow me to put myself in the shoes of the drivers and understand the needs in view of the imminent Lazio Rally".
