Having reached the Italian capital, the customary end-of-leg Time
Control awaited the crews in the Villa Borghese park. The first
O.M. cars crossed the Porta Pinciana arch shortly after 8.30
pm, preceded by the Ferraris of the Tribute, the Supercars of the
1000 Miglia Experience and the Full-Electric cars of the 1000
Miglia Green. The centre of Rome was thus energised by the
unmistakable roar of the cars built between 1927 and 1957,
which, after having driven along Via Veneto, were presented on
the specially prepared platform. |

eighth and twelfth... |
Wild weather characterised the 92nd edition of the 24 Hours of Le
Mans. A record crowd of 329,000 witnessed this year’s
endurance classic. Torrential rain saw the race director deploying
the safety cars and neutralising the field. Further showers with
about two hours left on the clock and during the final moments of
the race pushed the battle for glory to the extreme. Thanks to a
perfect strategy and strong driving performances, Richard Lietz
from Austria, the Dutchman Morris Schuring and Yasser Shahin
from Australia crossed the finish line first in the LMGT3 class
without any major incidents. |

Boston. Considered by many to be one of Ferrari’s most iconic
cars, only 121 examples were produced by the factory, with just
nine of those being finished in Argento Metallizzatto with US
specification. A previous FCA Platinum Award winner, it has
recently received a repaint and cosmetic refurbishment by the
Ferrari specialists at Motion Products Inc. A fantastic example of
a truly iconic model, this Daytona Spider would be an excellent
addition to any collection. |

499P, entered by AF Corse, bringing their total to three, whilst
there were no less than six Porsche 963 models, three works

BMW, Lamborghini and Peugeot, with a singleton Isotta
Fraschini, making a total of 23 cars in the class. |

precipitation. |

The Centenary 24 Hours of Spa concluded with the number 51
296 GT3 of the AF Corse – Francorchamps Motors team finishing
in second place. Alessandro Pier Guidi, who crossed the line,
shared the car with fellow Prancing Horse official drivers Alessio
Rovera and Davide Rigon. The team led the race until 48 minutes
from the end, but was hindered by a stationary car in the pit lane
as Pier Guidi was returning for the final refuelling. This situation
thwarted the 296 GT3's chances of claiming a victory that had
seemed assured. |
