The Museo Lamborghini is situated to the right of the main
entrance of the factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, which is a
historic small town in the countryside, approximately mid way
between Bologna and Modena. A bonus of its location right on
the factory premises is that one will see cars being taken out on
test, and maybe even spot the odd prototype. The factory is on
the main SP 255, Via Modena, on the outskirts of the town, but
within walking distance of the historic centre, and is still the site
on which Ferruccio Lamborghini established the original factory in
1963. |

First a little history revision on the Caramulo museum - it is
situated in the spa town of the same name, high in the hills of the
Caramulo mountain range, about 120kms south east of Porto in
Portugal. The art and car museum was the brainchild of the
brothers Abel and Joao Lacerda, who loved their town and wanted
to give it something that would attract visitors, and keep it alive,
after the sanatorium that had been its main source of
employment and income closed in the early fifties. |

Already for the 27th time the Concours at the Breakers was the
highlight of the Cavallino Classic and what date would have

cars to the lawn of the famous Breakers hotel in the posh beach
town of Palm Beach. For decades the winter domicile of the rich
American there might be no better location to hold a Ferrari

Versailles exhibition complex in Paris, once again produced a
marvellous cocktail of automobiles to delight enthusiasts of all
genres of classic motoring. This year there was one unforeseen
ingredient in the cocktail – snow! Heavy snowfall during the
Tuesday of the opening evening of the show, caused traffic
chaos, with reports of 700kms of traffic jams in the Paris region! It
also caused delays to trains and flights, resulting in a calmer
than normal day, in terms of numbers of attendees, on the
Wednesday, the first full day of opening. |
“It seems incredible to think that Enzo Ferrari was born in the
19th century,” says Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne. “His
lesson is more relevant than ever and his modernity
unquestionable. He was a man with extraordinary vision and
ability to manage people and resources as well as a strong
entrepreneurial spirit and exceptional courage. One wonders what
he could have achieved if he had had access to today’s technical
resources and knowledge. The mark that he left on the world
remains a source of pride for all of us at Ferrari and for the whole
of Italy.” |

take place through the course of the event, was lengthened to a
quarter of a mile, providing greater spectator viewing facilities. |

The 88th edition of the Geneva International Motor Show was held
between 8-18 March, and despite the current trend for
manufacturers to present their latest offerings either in full view or
as teasers, there is no substitute for seeing the real thing in the

After the splendour of the show on Monday in the Grand Palais
seen by 10 000 visitors, the Tour Optic 2ooo field left Paris at
dawn for the Château de Courances where the official start of the
27th staging of the event was given. The opening leg’s
programme comprised a 461-km route that brought the crews to
the first special stage (Sinotte) and then the Dijon-Prenois circuit.

at the foot of the ramparts built by the Marquis de Vauban at the
end of the 17th century. |
Tour Auto 2018 ... Paris-Besançon ... British
duo Andrew Smith-James Cottingham set the
fastest time |
After the first leg used by the entrants to get the measure of their
cars and the event, the Tour Auto Optic 2ooo left Besançon and
set off for the first stage of the day named “Altitude 800” between
the Levier and Dampierre-les-Tilleuls communes. On this road
twisting its way through the Jura forest, a foretaste of the arrival of
the Tour in the Haute-Savoie in the afternoon, the two British
crews leading the overall VHC classification confirmed their
tip-top form. |
The crews headed up into the mountains in the second leg as
they crossed the Jura and then continued to climb uphill to the
Mégeve ski resort. Today they came down to the plains to
compete in the third leg, a distance of 487 kilometres. The day’s
programme included two special stages and races on the
Lédenon circuit after which they headed for the parc fermé
installed in the ramparts of Avignon. |
The Tour Auto Optic field edges ever closer to the milestone of
2000 km covered since Paris. After overnight halts in Besançon,
Megève and Avignon, the crews continued downhill to
Aix-en-Provence in the fourth leg. In keeping with the regulations
of the event the entrants in the Regularity category set off first on
two days of the rally. Thus, they were the first to enjoy the warm
welcome of the spectators massed along the route. |
The 27th Tour Auto Optic 2ooo ended on Saturday with three
special stages in the Provencal hinterland and the finish on the
Place Massena in Nice. The 239 crews that took part left the
Grand Palais in Paris five days earlier: they will take away
unforgettable memories of the route that gave them the
opportunity to discover the most beautiful roads in France. On
their journey from the French capital to Nice with stopovers in
Besançon, Megève, Avignon and Aix-en-Provence they drank in
the beauty and variety of the landscapes they crossed. |
Scuderia Ferrari dominated this whole weekend right up to a few
laps before the end and leaves Baku with second and fourth
places for Kimi and Seb respectively. The Azerbaijan Grand Prix
turned out to be a totally unpredictable race, with the Safety Car
closing down the gaps and robbing the leader Vettel of victory,
but handing Kimi a lifeline after he had started further back. |

For the 11th time the world famous street course in the
Principauté de Monaco became the location of one of the most

edition back in 1929 on Bugatti. But what seems to be a
spectacle in modern racing becomes a challenge second to none
to the wealthy gentlemen drivers of the classic car racing scene. |
