Anton Alen was testing for Abarth on the Gramas stage today, Sunday 3rd May, ahead of next week's SATA Rally Azores.

The test was mainly centred on the Punto's tyres and suspension settings for an event which is going to be vital for Abarth's IRC title challenge this year.

Abarth pilot Anton Alen commented on his hopes for the Azores event:

I will have a good road position for that event, similar to Juho Hanninen in the factory Skoda who I am sure will be very strong on gravel. That will help and also the fact my co-driver Timo Alanne has competed on the event before

Giandomenico Basso will be testing his Abarth Punto S2000 tomorrow at the same location.
