The nineteenth edition of Campagne e Cascine, a race organised by Scuderia 3T from Cremona, the ninth round of the Acisport Italian Vintage Car Regularity Championship, did not fail to live up to expectations.
80 crews competed in the 65 time trials along a 166 km route that, as per tradition, proved challenging for both drivers and navigators.
Guido Barcella and Ombretta Ghidotti took the overall victory in their 1938 Fiat 508C, beating championship leaders Alberto and Giuseppe Scapolo, also in a Fiat 508C, by just five penalties.
Another Fiat 508C occupied the third step of the podium: it was the one driven by Edoardo Bellini and Roberto Tiberti who ended their effort only 12 penalties behind the winners.

Federica Bignetti won the ninth round of the exciting challenge for the women's title 2021, bringing her back to a tie with Gabriella Scarioni, at the start in Cremona on the usual 1982 Austin Mini HLE, driven by Ornella Pietropaolo.

Also among the Under 30 is a challenge for the title, with Alfonso Tumbarello that thanks to the points collected in the Cremona campaign, on board of an A112, shared with Vito Cartafalsa, brings himself to only 8 points from the leader of the ranking Roberto Paradisi who did not show up at the start of the race.

Scuderia Nettuno, leading among the teams for only 79 penalties, evens the score with Classic Team, warming up again the season finale of the Italian Team Championship.


Gianmario Fontanella celebrates with the victory in RC1 the mathematical conquest of the title of Italian Champion of the category, navigated by Alessandro Malta on board of the Fiat 514 Sport of 1930.

In RC2 Barcella, Scapolo and Bellini occupy the podium. Of note was the fourth place for the 2020 Italian champions Lorenzo and Mario Turelli in a 1934 Fiat 508S Sport Coppa d'Oro, ahead of the returning Massimo Zanasi, navigated for the occasion by Gaetana Angino in a 1937 Fiat 508 C.

Giuseppe Rapisarda, co-driven by Danilo Piga won the RC3 category aboard his 1965 Morris Mini Minor. The bearer of Scuderia Nettuno preceded the 1961 Porsche 356 driven by Saverio Mazzalupi and Elisabetta Pacchioni.
Just six penalties behind Riccardo Guggiana and Giuseppe Parisi in an MG B 1963.

Claudio Lastri and Walter Pantani returned to victory in the crowded RC4 aboard the usual 1975 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super Scuderia Kinzica.
Second place for teammates Gabriele Tonarelli and Daniela Della Croce who, on board of a 1973 Autobianchi A112 Elegant, precede by a single penalty Massimo Dalleolle and Alessandro Traversi, also on Autobianchi A112.

The RC5 category remains a conquest ground for Andrea Malucelli and his Fiat Duna. The Scuderia Franciacorta Motori dirver, navigated by Monica Bernuzzi, precedes the locals Giampaolo Limoni Scaglia and Mara Gregori on Autobianchi A112, while the third place is occupied by Giovanni Gualtieri, navigated by Mario Perri.
