Mille Miglia Car Race

[Fmax]

For those interested in cars, came across info on mille miglia that takes place in May.
http://www.1000miglia.it/MilleMiglia/

Only the cars selected from the models which took part in the original race can participate to Mille Miglia, with teams coming from all over the world. Thursday afternoon the cars leave Brescia, heart of the Mille Miglia, and arrive in Padova for the first overnight stay. The next morning they leave for Rome, passing San Marino and L'Aquila on the way. On Saturday they depart for Bologna, where they stay overnight before embarking on the last stretch to Brescia on Sunday morning, where they will be enthusiastically welcomed home for the prizegiving celebrations. The Mille Miglia will take place from 15th to 18th May 2014.

Thanks for the link, Pauline! I missed the race this year, but the best viewing in the past was in Chianti, which I think they skipped this year.
