Just posted this in Biker Banter but thought I'd drop it in here too as it was mainly cars:

Just got back from Italy where I was helping organise (not sure organisation exists in Italy laugh) the paddock/grid liner upper at an even called 'The Best of Italy Race'

26km of road is closed off in a small Italian town for a couple of hours on the Saturday/Sunday for Italy's most prestigious supercars/hypercars and motorbikes - this was the 2nd year of the event & this year the number of cars/bikes had doubled, once at the top of the course there is a big 3-4 hour lunch with amazing food before everybody heads back down (road is then open to the public on the way back down).

Giacomo Agostini leads the bikes up the course, mingles in the paddock & was a really nice bloke - turned up in his transit with his bike in the back, top man. Jodie Kidd was also at the event driving a Ferarri & a Maserati up the course.

Spoke to a few people who were there from the UK with their cars and on their bikes including a guy on a Desmo, here's some pics/videos if anyone's interested (hopefully the pics/vids can be seen):

Anyone from here at the event?
