As mellow and varied as ever.  Just the one Lancia but a couple of other Italians to keep it company.  I was rather taken with the little Honda Civic, I'd forgotten just how small they were/are.  The car with rear facing seats is a Tesla on the stand of a rental company.

Interesting set of photos David, thanks. It has wet my appetite and I will try to get an entry next year, it is one of the venues I would like to tick off my to-do list, such atmosphere.  I have walked round the old circuit and it is an amazing place.

Years since I've seen a Ritmo/Strada. X1/9's must be the cheapest way into Italian mid-engined fun at the moment. Is that really a Chapparal or some kind of replica? They do get such a good spread of cars there. Glad to see it's back.

It really is a Chapparal. 

The most powerful car there?   A standard looking Audi A6 estate driven by a gent who looked about 80 with 800bhp from its V10.

The Formula V was a novelty for me.  I spent a long time looking at a Vangard.  Several rally spec Escorts for lary tail out action and some Suburus that gave the racing cars a real run for their money.
