march 01, 2018 - Abarth
The Abarth team is strengthened by the arrival of Giovanni Bernacchini, who will work alongside Fabio Migliavacca, head of Abarth Racing
Abarth strengthens the #racing side of its organisation with the arrival of #giovannibernacchini, to serve as Motor Sports Manager.
"Giovanni Bernacchini's experience," stated Luca Napolitano, Head of Fiat & #abarth Brands, "will help to boost our #racing and other activities, with the various private teams that compete in #abarth cars both on the circuits and in rallying. With Bernacchini's arrival and with #fabiomigliavacca, #racing Manager, I would say we have a very well matched team. To conclude, I'd like to underline that to be even closer to our #racing customers, this year we've decided to make large increases to the prize money for our Trophies".
Bernacchini will occupy a vital post within #abarth #racing, in view of the high-level international connotations given to the #abarth 124 rally Selenia International Challenge this year, and the brand's participation in the FIA R-GT Cup and the European national championships, in which the #abarth 124 rally will be a key competitor, not just in Italy but also abroad. Alongside these championships, we must not forget the #abarth Selenia Trophy, to be held for the 10th time this season, with the #abarth 695 Assetto Corse Evoluzione and #abarth 500 Assetto Corse cars. Mouth-watering prize money is on offer for all trophies. Special focus on Under 18 drivers in the #abarth Selenia Trophy and the F4 powered by #abarth championships in Italy and Germany.
Forty-five years old and an international rally navigator, after a 23-year career as a co-pilot #giovannibernacchini holds the record of 132 participations in the World Rally Championship and has competed in many international Rallies; he made his debut as a navigator in the Fiat 500 Trophy in 1995 alongside Italian Under 23 Champion Ussai. He has also raced with Andreucci, Galli, Dallavilla, Pedersoli, Tempestini and Nasser: he has won the Fiat 500 European Trophy twice, 1 WRC-2 World and 4 Fia MERC titles with Nasser Al-Attiyah and 1 WRC-3 World and one Junior World with Tempestini.
