GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • The Fiorio Cup is officially renamed the Fiorio Cup – Alex Fiorio Trophy for 2026, honouring the late rally figure who died in August and was central to the event’s creation.
  • TAMARA MOLINARO lines up for Team Italy alongside Andrea Aghini, Roberto Daprà, Giovanni Trentin and Matteo Bernini in an Italy vs Europe format on the Fiorio family farm.
  • HEDDA HOSAS, known for off-road competition, joins Team Europe captained by Henning Solberg, alongside Pontus Tidemand and Elliott Delecour — giving her a rare rally stage outing.
  • MARIAPAOLA FIORIO, Alex’s eldest daughter, is driving the event forward, vowing to honour her father’s vision of a passion-driven community competition now entering a new chapter.
  • All eight drivers compete in identical Škoda Fabia RS Rally2s supplied by PA Racing, ensuring the result hinges on driver pace rather than machinery advantage.
