The Circolo\u2019s greatest asset is that it consists of a passionate group of club members who just want to organize the best event of this sort that they possibly can. In addition, they are non-profit making and this is reflected in the cost, so there are no horrendous entry fees.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s format started with scrutineering and formalities in the small town of Romano d\u2019Ezzolino just outside Bassano del Grappa in the Veneto. The regulations require that entries must consist only of open cars\u2014barchettas, spiders, cabriolets, sports racers etc.\u2014with a date cutoff of 1960.<\/p>\n<p>This year the oldest car was Venanzioro Fonte\u2019s Alfa Romeo RL Targa Florio of 1924, a fabulous piece of kit which I had the pleasure of running behind up the Passo Manghen on the first day until its owner found it had too long a gearing for mountain work and substituted a more touring example of Arese\u2019s handiwork. It also had an explosive exhaust which was sheer music, but which the owner also suggested \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t want to take it to church on a Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/The-unique-Barou-bodied-Jaguar-XK-120C-of-Wolfgang-and-Cornelia-Techel.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-558568 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/The-unique-Barou-bodied-Jaguar-XK-120C-of-Wolfgang-and-Cornelia-Techel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/The-unique-Barou-bodied-Jaguar-XK-120C-of-Wolfgang-and-Cornelia-Techel.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/The-unique-Barou-bodied-Jaguar-XK-120C-of-Wolfgang-and-Cornelia-Techel-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/The-unique-Barou-bodied-Jaguar-XK-120C-of-Wolfgang-and-Cornelia-Techel-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/The-unique-Barou-bodied-Jaguar-XK-120C-of-Wolfgang-and-Cornelia-Techel-100x66.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/The-unique-Barou-bodied-Jaguar-XK-120C-of-Wolfgang-and-Cornelia-Techel-770x511.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/The-unique-Barou-bodied-Jaguar-XK-120C-of-Wolfgang-and-Cornelia-Techel-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/The-unique-Barou-bodied-Jaguar-XK-120C-of-Wolfgang-and-Cornelia-Techel-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/The-unique-Barou-bodied-Jaguar-XK-120C-of-Wolfgang-and-Cornelia-Techel-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Eddie McGuire, of Gordini and Cooper Bristol fame, works tirelessly on behalf of the event, co-ordinating entries from across the world and running himself in his blower 4.5 liter Bentley among a 13 example cache of these cars. The overall entry, from 11 countries, started and ran in car date chronological order with earliest cars at the front and latest at the back. Example figures were five Ferraris including 340 MM and 166 MM. There were five Maseratis, including 250S, 300S and A6GCS. Out of seven Jaguars, including C and D Types, one was the unique Barou-bodied 120 of Wolfgang Techel (pictured right). As well as\u00a0the RL there were both 6 and 8C Alfa Romeos, OSCA, Lancia, Amilcar\u2026the list went on. I must express a huge thank you to Gianni Codiferro for making available his Porsche 550 Chamonix for our participation.<\/p>\n<p>Two overnight stops were included in the itinerary and, as this year\u2019s event was concentrated in the Trentino\/Alto Adige areas, these were Bolzano and Trento, cities not far apart but in the two and a half days of driving, participants needed to cover around 530 kilometers in total. Various tests are included of the short, regularity type in order to establish a finishing order.<\/p>\n<p>By their very nature\u2014the cars being barchettas\u2014their carrying capacity is low, so the organizers ensure luggage is moved from hotel to hotel by navettes and this worked very well indeed, with suitcases already in rooms upon arrival after a day\u2019s driving.<\/p>\n<p>The start was from the scrutineering location, on the Friday and the first afternoon settled everyone into what was ahead. It consisted of 140 kilometers over secondary and minor roads (but never rough), over two passes, the Manghen and the Lavaze, each of about 2000 meters. Just to keep all on their toes, a biblical downpour within 20 minutes of the start had everyone donning their wet weather gear, but it was hot and clear on arrival in Bolzano where first the cars were displayed to the public in one of the main piazzas, before continuing to the designated hotel night-stop.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday was the day of reckoning for all, as the not overlong 280 kilometers run included the daunting Stelvio, followed by the fearsome Gavia passes. To get everyone warmed up though, crossings of the Passo Mendola and Passo delle Palade were slotted in as primi piatti before the secondi. The main road run, from Merano, was dealt with easily with the inestimable help of our two outrider Polizie bikers, who carved a safe passage through the tourists.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Chasing-a-Bentley-down-the-Stelvio.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-558569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Chasing-a-Bentley-down-the-Stelvio.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Chasing-a-Bentley-down-the-Stelvio.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Chasing-a-Bentley-down-the-Stelvio-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Chasing-a-Bentley-down-the-Stelvio-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Chasing-a-Bentley-down-the-Stelvio-100x66.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Chasing-a-Bentley-down-the-Stelvio-770x511.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Chasing-a-Bentley-down-the-Stelvio-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Chasing-a-Bentley-down-the-Stelvio-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Chasing-a-Bentley-down-the-Stelvio-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At sea level the temperature had hovered around 26 degrees all of the morning and was that figure as we hit the 39th tornante at the bottom of the Stelvio. As we wound our way up the ceaseless point and squirt of the seemingly vertical mountain face, the weather worsened, as the temperature dropped and cloud turned to rain, sleet, hail and, finally, snow at the summit where it was -4 degrees! So much hype surrounds the climb from the east that the other side is ignored. It shouldn\u2019t be. It is every bit as impressive in its own way and, more than that, the sun came out again.<\/p>\n<p>Over lunch in Bormio, I began to wonder what I was doing there with the thought of the Gavia ahead. Perhaps I shouldn\u2019t read so much but, having watched the excellent 1958\u00a0 Coupe des Alpes film and read many stories of late \u201950s\/early \u201960s rallies over the unmetalled road I asked about it before we restarted. \u201cThe going up is no problem, it\u2019s the coming down that needs to be treated with respect,\u201d and so it was. With sheer drops and a road of only single-carriageway width, guarded only by marker stones, it was a fabulous experience and one to be recommended\u2014slowly. The summit is, well, just bleak and it was almost surreal to find Matteo Crippa\u2019s Ferrari 340 MM parked up there among the scree.<\/p>\n<p>It was a comparatively easy afternoon run down to Trento over the Passo Tonale after all that excitement and, like so many of the towns and\u00a0villages we passed through, we enjoyed a typically Italian enthusiastic and welcoming arrival,\u00a0followed by another dinner of high standard.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday morning\u2019s return run down to Bassano was over the Passo Vezzena and via a test in the First World War battle town of Asiago, marking the centenary of the tragic event this year. A short run of only 110 kilometers allows the organizers to bring the field into the center of Bassano del Grappa for a refreshment halt and to allow the public to inspect the cars before a final start is made to cover the short 15 kilometers to the official finish in the medieval town of Marostica and its Castello.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the event the roads were well-chosen, the vistas outstanding, the overnight stops well-executed. It had been a superb experience and unequivocally to be recommended. Thank you to Stefano Chiminelli and his team for three wonderful days.

While other kids were catching bugs or playing with dolls, he was hunting down dilapidated Datsuns and battered Buicks, dreaming of restoring them to their former glory. His bedroom walls were plastered not with pop stars or movie posters, but with vibrant images of pristine vintage vehicles from the roaring '20s to the groovy '60s. Instead of morning alarms, Brad preferred the rumble of a classic carbureted engine to rouse him from slumber. Brad continues to leave a trail of envy and exhaust fumes behind him wherever he goes.","url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/brad_jansen\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/140"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494831"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494831\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/558566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
