Who thinks the races for historic cars and walkways imagine a little 'snob exhibitionists at the wheel of placid berlinone shiny, in this case is mistaken. The Winter Marathon - and already the name says - it's a tough race for tough people. The specialty is that of regularity event for classic cars calendar CSAI (Italian Motor Sport Commission) and the race, organized by Vecars of Brescia, was held Friday 22 and Saturday, January 23 starting at Madonna di Campiglio and arrival of the first participants in the same locality from midnight.23 Winner of this edition was the expert "top drivers" Julian Cane, paired with Lucia Galliani on the 1938 Lancia Aprilia, which has been so successful encore in 2009. Runner up for the Sicilian John Moceri, with Valeria in December on the Alfa Romeo Giulia GT Junior 1967. The third step of the podium another Emilia, Armando Fontana, paired with Matteo Iotti on the 1968 Porsche 911.
In short, a trio of specialists who have struggled with at least 30 other "drivers" who showed up at the start. The first car started at 14 on Friday followed by another 199 "classic" - built from 1933 to 1968 - who faced more than 370 km in ten hours straight up and down the most beautiful and challenging mountain passes.
From the Campo Carlo Magno Palade, from Mendel to Lavazè from the Pramadiccio Campolongo, Gardena from the pile up to the magnificent Pordoi with temperatures fell to minus 15 degrees. Interesting, then, the raid on the track of the center of Park Safety Vadena (Bolzano), where they were set up some tests.
Everything has been marked by precision of 35 trials and 6 time trial time controls. There was then a walk, but the secret of the success of the Winter Marathon is just that. It is ideal for beginning the long and demanding season races regularly. For the first time, the Winter Marathon also saw the official participation of Historic Motoring Alfa Romeo in Arese the department that manages the historical heritage of Alfa.
With the driver at the wheel of Brescia Fabio Salvinelli red and rare Giulietta SZ Coda Trim of 1961 ended in 25th place.
