Roaring racing cars in the historic center ready to go, after technical checks in Piazza Vittoria, on Viale Venezia. No crowds, obviously due to a pandemic, and very few people on the streets of the center to greet drivers and take selfies with the 400 vintage cars that, at 2:00 p.m., will leave Brescia to start the historic competition of regularity.

And the security protocols adopted must be really rigid, so much so as to convince the local authorities to start the tender, despite the contrary opinion of the president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana. And for 4 days the 400 participating crews, many of them foreign, will obviously also travel in a “time bubble”, forgetting about the serious health and economic crisis that is affecting the whole world: they will only have to think about looking at the timers and enjoying evocative views of the many cities you will pass through.
