Alex Fiorio remembered at Fiorio Cup as more than a driver

Alex Fiorio, the Italian rally figure who died earlier this year aged 61, was commemorated at the Fiorio Cup, an event he created to bring fun back to rallying. The single-venue format offers lower costs, easy access and a better fan experience, and it bans setup tinkering so every driver competes on equal terms.

Roberto Daprà, the reigning Italian national champion, won this year's event ahead of Giovanni Trentin. Drivers and team members who knew Fiorio, however, said his achievements were not the first thing they recalled about him, with Tamara Molinaro describing his big heart.
