The
weekend from 18 and 19 June represented the annual ‘Italia
a Zandvoort’ at Holland’s most famous
motor-racing circuit. The Italia a Zandvoort program
includes an interesting mix of races on the track and a
presentation of beautiful Italian cars in the paddocks. This
event simply makes mouths water, and this year being the
15th edition was no exception.
The Italian theme was underlined by the fantastic weather,
and seeing that Zandvoort is on the Dutch coast, the roads
leading to the circuit were already jam-packed in the
morning by beachgoers. This
unfortunately did not aide to the circuit’s accessibility,
certainly for older cars that were not designed to be driven
in modern-day traffic!
At
first sight upon entering the circuit, each car enthusiast
received an enormous smile on their face! Such characterful
cars all lined up urging further inspection and oozing
beauty! It was clear to all that diverse marque clubs and
official importers had planned carefully to make the best of
the weekend.
But it is naturally the best to see such wonderful cars in
action, and of course this happened.
The racing fan could
enjoy historic Ferrari Formula Classic Series, just as well
as popular Italian classics in action. Races held also
included the Alfa Romeo Challenge, and diverse clubs got the
chance to demonstrate their cars at full speed on the famous
track.
