Targa Florio 88 years ago...

• 

The famous roadrace of Sicily was first held in May, 1906(site of Mario Grifasi). The photo is showing the number two of 1914, a De Vecchi (carsfromitaly.com). The Targa Florio became faster and faster every year, until 1957 when a terrible accident put an end to it. In 1989 a historic version brought back life to the ancient memories and routes. See the programme for Targa Florio 2002. Click the pic to ENLARGE the car and note the mechanic looking over his shoulder for the competition.
