Your rally spans from the great river Po to the sea, passing through wonderful landscapes, cultural and artistic centres like Reggio Emilia and Parma, ancient castles, rolling green hills, untouched mountain passes, enchanting hamlets and the sea of the "Cinque Terre", a UNESCO World Heritage Site. All our efforts have been concentrated on creating a prestigious event, able to meet the expectations of the top drivers and of the most demanding "gourmand".



Over the four days we will hold 70 time trials: 55 en-route trials and 15 trials in designated other areas. These are challenging trials to the hundredths of a second, but require no particular driving skills and nothing extreme, the older and less manoeuvrable cars. There are also routes suitable for pre 1940 vehicles, and there is a pre 1940 ranking. There is an efficient timing service with results published online in real-time.
