Szabo follows Tempestini by switching cars for Sibiu

Marco Tempestini isn’t the only driver switching from Group N-based technology for this week’s Sibiu Rally.

Gergély Szabó, who shone by finishing second in the IRC Production Cup in sixth overall on Rally San Marino earlier this month, will follow Tempestini’s lead by driving a ŠKODA Fabia Super 2000 on the gravel round in Transylvania.

Szabó, from Hungary, is one of six drivers competing in Sibiu in one of the Czech machines. He had previously campaigned a Ralliart Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.

Romanian Tempestini (pictured), meanwhile, is switching from a Subaru Impreza R4 STI. He won in Sibiu last season driving a Peugeot 207 Super 2000.
