By winning the Rallye du Valais in Switzerland, Manuel Villa is the seasonal winner of the Abarth 500 Rally Trophy 2012.

Villa, 41 from Liguria (Italy), with his team mate Michele Ferrara, won the championship thanks to the good performances in the Rally del Friuli e delle Alpi Oriental and Sanremo.

The Rallye du Valais was particularly hard, with nearly 300 km of special stages on mountain roads, where the Abarth 500 R3T has confirmed its reliability.
