Last Sunday I took part in the Lugano Revival Rally aboard the Ferrari F40 owned by Clay Regazzoni.
The regularity trial format was new to me but I have to say it was great fun. The car was fantastic, my co-driver Luca Giorgetti was a great laugh and the general atmosphere of the event was very "simpatico".
We set out in the knowledge that we wouldn’t be able to compete with those drivers who take part in these events every weekend, thinking we’d do well to avoid finishing last. In the end we finished in a respectable fourth place in our category (modern cars) that saw twelve cars starting.
In any case, the point of the exercise was not so much the result as to spend time together having fun… which is exactly what we did.
For this reason I’d like to thank once again the entire Regazzoni family for having permitted me this honour, Luca Giorgetti for the excellent job he did and his enjoyable company, the directors of the ASAT event for their impeccable organization and all the friends who joined us at the start and finish.
