The Italian Marko Tempestini since 2008 has chosen to participate in the Rumanian Rally Championship and supplements the season also with regular participation in international races. During his career Tempestini has participated in six rounds of the WRC, and his highest result was achieved in 2008 — the 23rd place in the Rally of Wales (UK). The year 2009 was one of the most successful in the auto sportsman’s career — he won the Champion’s title in the FIA European Rally Championship Eastern zone and the Vice-Champion’s title in the Rumanian Rally Championship. Although in 2010 he repeatedly managed to gain good results in international competitions, in the Rumanian Championship successful starts alternated with technical difficulties, that allowedto take only the 7th place in the total valuation. The years 2011 and 2012 didn’t bring considerable victories, however in the total valuation of the Rumanian Rally Championship Tempestini showed good results and took the 4th and 8th position respectively. In 2012 Tempestini participated also in eight rounds of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) and took the 21st position in the total valuation (the highest result was achieved in the Prime Yalta Rally, when the crew finished as the 5th).
