Starting in 1906 after a bet from Vincenzo Florio, son of Ignatius and decendant of one of the wealthiest Sicilian families, the Targa Florio is the oldest car race on the road.
It soon distinguished itself for its selection and the notable work required of the racers, who with an adventurous spirit, soon gave themselves to the challenge.
It has been one of the hardest and most fascinating competitions of all time.
