The Gran Premio Nuvolari passes through Siena
The race, named after the famous pilot Tazio Nuvolari, was born in 1954 to pay him homage with a route that starts from Mantua, Nuvolari’s birthplace. The route is similar to the Mille Miglia itinerary and includes, among others, Ferrara, Rimini, Urbino, Siena, Pisa and Forte dei Marmi, takes place from 18th to 20th September and is a Grand Prix exclusively for vintage and classic cars, according to a specific regulation on the website of the event: www.gpnuvolari.it.
A special feature of this race is the “coast-to-coast” route, because along the way will be reached some places close to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Adriatic Sea.
Furthermore, this year 330 crew will join the event and 50 upscale car companies as Bentley, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Bugatti, Ferrari, Fiat, Ford, Jaguar, Lancia, Mercedes, Porsche, Triumph and Volvo, only to name a few.
