        Shame the race was banned after a few wrecks.. Racing like that will never come back either.

        OT: Nice looking wheels. They would be pretty trick on a slammed 2002 or something.

                            Shame? I guess. Inevitable? Absolutely. Impossible race to run, even by the early '60s. I'm surprised the Targa Florio made it as far as it did.

                                    So are those wheels Alain Prosts or Didier Pironis?

                                                            It still runs, but is more a time trial than a race. But, it runs on public roads, through villages etc and they don't hang about. It was on last week's Classic Car Show, Jodie Kidd driving a Jag XK120 prepared by Jag's own heritage fleet. They cover the 1000 miles in 3 days, driving 16 hours on day 2. All cars are classics, most make the full distance.
