Rally Taormina-Messina 2009 – Felice Re wins – Video Clips including Kubica

Felice Re dominated the 2009 Rally Taormina-Messina to claim his second Trofeo Rally Asfalto win of the year in his Citroen Xsara WRC.

Fabio Angelucci inherited second place in another Xsara WRC after Luca Pedersoli's Peugeot 206 WRC suffered differential trouble on the last stage, dropping the Peugeot 206 WRC driver to third.

All eyes, however, were on F1 star Robert Kubica and he lay an impressive 8th overall after the opening super special stages but crashed his Renault Clio R3 out on the first proper test (see photo and video interview below). DP Autosport team-mate Michał Kościuszko retired his Skoda Fabia S2000 on SS4.
