A Toast to Attilio Bettega, a great rally driver!

This is my simple tribute to one of rally's great drivers, Attilio Bettega (1953-1985)

This Lancia 037 Rally di Monza  with Maurizio Perissinot drove a nice overall race with 49 points standing 5th in the drivers final classification. Sadly, in a race in Corsica at the 4th stage, Attilio lost control of his Lancia and hit a tree, killing him instantly. His co driver survived uninjured.
