The Challenge....

Team Ferrari, Team Porsche, Team TVR and Team Maserati set off from the UK on 27 August 2009 and converge in Brescia, Northern Italy, on Sunday 30 August to start the greatest Road Race of them all. Over 4 days the teams battle mountain roads, city streets, Italian drivers and rubbish sign posts to complete the Mille Miglia. The Route takes us from Brescia down the east coast of Italy to Rome at which point we turn to the north again heading up the west side of Italy to finish in Brescia on 2 September.

San Marino to Rome

What a day of driving. Wow. We did a fantastic section today of about 70 miles of winding mountain roads between Assisi and Reiti. Roads were clear and the views fantastic. The car is going great and for the fist time i have found out what driving a Ferrari is all about. Absolutely fantastic. Try as i might i could not make the tyres squeal.

We stopped in the Colosseum for a celebration of 50 % of our journey complete and attracted quite a crowd. Dirving in Rome was as manic as expected! We are staying in a hotel just outside St. Peters square. Bit of an old monastery if you ask me but i suppose some people might find it nice.

Will get round to posting some more pick when possible.
