After scrutineering on Thursday, June 18, the cars will start from Ca\u2019 Cornaro in Romano d\u2019Ezzelino, near Bassano del Grappa (VI). The first leg will run through Passo Manghen and Passo Lavazz\u00e8, to reach Bolzano, where everyone will stop for the night. On Saturday the Mitiche will tackle, one after the other, Passo Mendola, Passo delle Palade, the mythical Stelvio (first time ever for the event), Passo Gavia e Passo Tonale before arriving in Trento for the night. Sunday\u2019s final leg will take the cars up to Passo Vezzena, and then they will be the stars of a celebrity show in Asiago. From there the cars will drive down first to Bassano and then to Marostica, for the prize giving and the great feast at the arrivederci al Castello Superiore.<\/p>\n<p>While as many as 24 different marques will be represented in the entry, Bentley will likely be the most popular make with as many as a dozen of the beastly British \u201cBlowers\u201d taking part. Other entrants will field historic Maseratis, Jaguars, Alfa Romeos and, of course, Ferraris in an event that promise to be both unique and challenging.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A completely new route awaits competitors winding their way through Italy\u2019s Dolomite Mountains on the 21st running of Le Mitiche Sport a Bassano, sponsored by Eberhard Watches, this June 18-21.
