2010

 

 

From Brescia in the north of Italy to Rome in the south then back to Brescia, this grueling 3 day event sees over 350 classics travelling some of the best roads in Europe and visiting some of the most historic towns and cities.

The Italian’s love for sports cars is apparent when you notice that even schools and convents turn out for the children (and yes, the Nuns) to watch from the roadside.

Special timed stages, hard driving, late nights and early starts are not for the unprepared but the wonderful atmosphere throughout the course coupled with the organization of the event make this one of the major historic motoring highlights in Europe.
