The 13th historical re-enactment of the Milan-Sanremo Cup, which started on March 31st in the Autodromo Nazionale in Monza, ended on Saturday 2 April with the victory of crew no. 5 composed by Fontanella and Covelli at the wheel of a 1939 Lancia Aprilia, making their debut in the competition.
The Cup saw the crews compete in over one hundred special stages (of which six on average), competing in urban and natural landscapes with thrilling trials and in adverse weather conditions. In fact, after two days alternating with rain and clear spells, the crews had to surrender in the unfavorable weather, due to snow at low altitude the race was in fact suspended for the Rapallo – Loano section. Without losing their enthusiasm, saturday’s racing cars faced the afternoon tests on the treacherous curves of Colle San Bartolomeo and D’Oggia, concluding the sporting part in a sunny Sanremo, the famous City of Flowers, ready to crown the winners of the Re-enactment.
