The weekend of 10th to 14th October, the relaunch of the Targa Florio will turn the floodlights on Sicily and on the legendary roads of the Circuito delle Madonie. Following the success of its 2011 debut staging, registration is now open for the 2012 Eco Targa Florio Classic: the classic models that wrote the history of the Targa Florio will run a regularity rally lasting three days and travelling a route that retraces the famous Circuito delle Madonie and part of the Giro di Sicilia (Lap of Sicily). Countless inquiries have come into the organization from enthusiasts and collectors interested in learning the details of the next event: the excitement is palpable in the world of classic cars, throughout international circles. 2012 marks an important year in the Targa's history: in fact, precisely one hundred years ago, Vincenzo Florio tested a new formula, running the race on the Giro di Sicilia (Lap of Sicily). The start and finish lines were in Palermo, forming a single, long lap, around Sicily's perimeter. 2012 Eco Targa Florio will be enriched with important side initiatives. For example, event villages will be set up at the route's main stops (true meeting places for the public, participants, and spectators, in which the region's specialities will be promoted), along with side shows featuring Sport and Sport Prototype models that have participated in the legendary endurance race. In short, preparations are kicking into high gear for an event that will revive the emotions of engines roaring down the roads, tires squealing round the curves, and drivers gritting their teeth in concentration.
