Munnings wins ERC Ladies’ Trophy on Rally di Roma Capitale

Saintéloc Junior Team driver and PEUGEOT ambassador Munnings’ first win this season came against a backdrop of her most difficult rally to date.

Her co-driver Anne Katharina Stein’s pace notes had been stolen on Friday, forcing a full re-write that evening from scratch using onboard videos.

Despite a migraine for Stein on Saturday afternoon from working overtime on new pace notes, she pressed on through the pain barrier to read notes for Munnings, allowing the pair to score a top five finish in ERC Junior Under 28 in addition to their ERC Ladies’ Trophy win.

Her only real scare during Leg Two was her car suffering a power problem near identical to that of team-mate Miika Hokkanen, which had led the Finn to retire at midday service as it could not be remedied in time.

Falcón had retired on Saturday through her own car’s reliability problem, an impact with the ground breaking a gearbox mounting and intercooler pipe.

Returning on Sunday she fared better aside from a handbrake issue, already plotting a return to Rally di Roma Capitale next year when arriving at the finish line in Ostia.
