One was built for bikers, the other – for racing car drivers. Both represented their country in the Royal Races. One is clockwise, the other – anticlockwise. One is in PCCI, the other – in PCCF. And both are this weekend! Imola and Magny-Cours, and we go... in both directions!
Autodromo Internazionale "Enzo e Dino Ferrari", Imola Opened: 1953 Last rebuild: 1994 Lap length: 4.909 km Direction: anti-clockwise Turns: 17 Best lap time: 1:20.411 (Michael Schumacher, Ferrari, 2004) |
Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours Designed: 1960 Last rebuild: 2003 Lap length: 4,412 km Direction: clockwise Turns: 17 Best lap time: 1:15.377 (Michael Schumacher, Ferrari, 2004) |
Well, the weekend will be rather tense: the team will be divided in two parts. Alessio Rovera and Carlo and Lino Curti will be driving in anticlockwise direction. Thomas Nicolle will rotate clockwise.
