« An unforgettable day on a legendary circuit surrounded by the cars of legends, sports and extreme cars, accompanied by gentlemen drivers and experienced drivers, all as fast as they are generous. A perfect cocktail of gasoline, burnt rubber and white-hot brakes, for those who know the scent of the track, don’t hesitate to come and experience car racing in all its luxury and speed! «
