Memorie Dell’Isola: 300 Fuoriclasse Alle Grandi Corse Di Sicilia

Product description

For most of the last century, Sicily annually hosted great races with a strong international attraction. The greatness of those car races was not only in the quality of the cars that participated, but much of their importance must certainly be attributed to the caliber of the drivers who competed. The great Sicily races have been an almost century-old catwalk of conductors who have written the history of motoring. They were the Targa and the Coppa Florio, the Giro di Sicilia, the Formula 1 Syracuse Grand Prix, the Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3000 Mediterranean Grand Prix (Inter and Euro), the Gold Cup of Sicily, the Vinci Cup (Messina Cup), the Etna Cup, the Nissena Cup, the Cravat Circuit in Enna, the City of Enna Cup, the 10 Hours of Messinese Night Time, and the Cefalù-Gibilmanna, Catania-Etna, Palermo- Montepellegrino and Trapani-Monte Erice. Each has a story of its own: fascinating, felt, lived and participated in over the years, from the beginning to the end. Written by about 300 first level pilots who are in these pages recalled by archive notes, images, chronicles of exciting performances, unpublished anecdotes and autobiographies. A testimony of love and sporting commitment with few other comparisons in the history of four-wheel racing.
