Lancia Corse HF's Gryazin takes second at Rallylegend and wins the Memorial Bettega

Lancia Corse HF took its Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale to Rallylegend and came away with both strong sporting results and strong public engagement. Nikolay Gryazin and co-driver Konstantin Aleksandrov finished second overall, behind Luca Pedersoli's Rally1 car, after a weekend of consistent pace. The event also gave Lancia a platform for a charity project whose message, the brand says, extends far beyond motorsport.

Rachele Somaschini made her debut in the Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale alongside San Marino co-driver Daiana Darderi. The all-female crew finished 14th overall and took third place in the Memorial Bettega, a positive first experience in the car for Somaschini, who returned to rallying after a season away from competition. Her comeback was met with enthusiasm from fans who recognised both the sporting challenge and a story of courage, determination and passion. Somaschini lives with cystic fibrosis and brought the message of the #CorrerePerUnRespiro project to Rallylegend, supporting Fondazione Ricerca sulla Fibrosi Cistica ETS, raising awareness of the genetic disease and helping to support scientific research.

For Lancia Corse HF, the weekend meant more than results alone. Gryazin's performance reaffirmed the competitive strength of the Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale after Lancia's first season back in international rallying, while Somaschini's appearance gave a voice to a charity initiative centred on people, awareness and support for research. At an event that Lancia says strengthens its bond with rally fans every year, bringing together competition, entertainment and the sport's heritage, the brand presented sporting ambition, passion and a commitment to the wider community.
