Petrolina Racing Team’s Simos Galatariotis and Antonis Ioannou won the Cyprus Rally Championship for the fourth time.

After winning the 44th Venus Rally, which was held over two days, between 11-12 December 2021, Galatariotis and Ioannou celebrated yet another successful year. The Venus Rally was the last round of the 2021 Cyprus Rally Championship by Honda/Galatariotis-ENI. The two champions won seven out of the eight special stages, driving a VW Polo GTI R5.  

Another Petrolina Racing Team crew, Alexandros Tsouloftas and Alexandros Elia, came in third in the overall standings of the Cyprus Rally Championship, while Panayiotis Yiangou and Pavlos Egglezos, also representing Petrolina Racing Team, put up a strong performance in the Championship, finishing in fourth place.

In addition to winners Galatariotis - Ioannou, another two Petrolina Racing Team crews took part in last weekend’s Venus Rally. Christos Demosthenous and Kypros Christodoulou came in second driving a Skoda Fabia R5, while Panayiotis Yiangou and Leonidas Christofi competed with a Hyundai R5 but had to quit the race due to a clutch problem.

Petrolina would like to congratulate the two champions as well as all the crews, wishing them good luck in the new season.

For yet another year, Petrolina has reaffirmed its leading role in the Cyprus Rally Championship. Motorsports have always been a key part of Petrolina’s Corporate Social Responsibility strategy.
