Piedmont hosted the fourth round of the Italian Regular Championship in retro cars. A little more than half of the 103 crew launched onto the road made it to the finish line — 76.

Alberto and Giuseppe Scapolo won their second trophy of the season in a Fiat 508C. The brothers from Padua handicapped the closest rivals by almost 50 points to the closest rivals — Gianmario Fontanella and Annamaria Covelli. Considering that six special stages out of 63 were canceled for one reason or another, any mistake could have been worth the victory. According to the results of the stage, the crew representing the Classic Team — Fabio and Marco Salvinelli — climbed to the third step of the podium.

In the team event, the winner was the team from Bologna — Nettuno Bologna, which included the winners of the rally, as well as Massimo Dalleole / Allesandro Traversi and Giuseppe Rapisardo / Danilo Piga. Classic Team and Brescia Corse became silver and bronze medalists of the fourth stage, respectively.

The best crew among women in the fourth stage were the victors of a similar standings of the recently passed Franciacorta Historic — Federica Bignetti Bignetti / Luisa Ciatti at the wheel of an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider. Among the crews under 30 years of age, a convincing victory was obtained by crew # 110 — Nicola Barcella / Edoardo Pastermoli.
