OldCar24 Partner and Sponsor of the BERGAMO HISTORIC GRAND PRIX, a success !
Sunday 2 June 2019 Republic Day and the Motors day... the masterpieces of historic motoring roar over the ancient walls of Bergamo.
In Bergamo you go for three fundamental reasons: to admire the magnificent architecture of the Uperr City, a Unesco World Heritage site; to see the paintings of the Lorenzo Lotto in the churches and the Museum, to follow “BERGAMO HISTORIC GRAN PRIX”.
All this can be done simultaneously in this city that offers a lot to all lovers of beauty.
Sunday 2 June, vintage cars and motorbikes crossed the old city walles,which the legendary Tazio Nuvolari consecrated in 1935 by winning the first Bergamo City Cup,”flying” with his Alfa Romeo P3.
Known to the “gentleman drivers” of all Europe (and beyond the Ocean) the circuit of the medieval walles of Bergamo Alta sees the most beautiful cars of the historic stables, not only italian, parade.
Over 90 historic cars that ran and 60 motorcycles.The sun has favored a wide participation of audiances of all ages, there are over 25.000 presences that with great enthusiasm have admired the very rare prewar cars running and the single- seaters. Simone Tacconi deserves all the success of the event for the care with which he organized it.
Present important collectors, Corrado Lopresto, first collector of prototypies in the world. He led a CISITALIA D 48 on the ramarts of the past by Achille Varzi and Tazio Nuvolari.
Other cars were enthusiastically received by the public: the AMILCAR, a light and powerfull sports car of the 1920s, the Bugatti 37, Maserati 26 M, Riley 9 Sport, 12/14, MG J2 and many others, until arriving in more recent times at a Dallara Stradale; Ferrari F40 and Ferrari 750.
Impossible to describe all the participating champions,we mention two more Bugatti 110 (1991) created by the reborn French company but built in Campogalliano Modena whose figure indicates the 110 years since the birth of Ettore Bugatti and EB and the initials of this brillant entrepreneur/inventor.
