the most romantic race in the world,

Targa Florio in Sicily,

the last of the old style races on public roads,

founded in 1906,

a 45 miles long mountain circuit with over 800 corners,

lined by half a million hysterical Italians.

The 45th edition in 1970 was once again dominated by Porsche,

.

above is the Siffert/Redman 908 Spider

tearing through one of the villages along the track!

here another painting to celebrate the Brawn,Button success.

I must say,

when i first laid eyes on this car i was horrified

the big front wing,high narrow rear wing

with the minimal livery,it all looked wrong

but as Ken Tyrrell used to say,

a car that wins is a car that looks good

and now

this is all ready an iconic image of the 2009 season
