Its Italy Si, image the rumpuss such an event in England would cause!

surely though there must be loads of red flags and injuries, damaged cars etc, looks well dangerous to me but has the feel of the Targa Florio to it.

Surely this is how most Italians drive when they pop out for a nice Sunday afternoon drive up in the hills? :shock: :shock: :shock:

If you see Tony Gomez at an event (like prescott), ask him about the spanish moutain climbs.
10k! really more like a tarmac rally stage.
:shock:

He lent me a video a few years back (ok 15+ years back) and the mix of cars was great.
Loads of seat 124s but a real mix of everything from seat 500s to single seaters.
I had planned to get over there to see one or two of them but there's always something that gets in the way.... :cry:

You dont have to go to Prescott to see a lesser spotted Gomez lol he's at a lot of club level sprint events.

You just need to know where to look

Pretty impressive.

Ari Vatenan's Climb Dance on Pike's Peak might just be the ultimate though -
