PHOTOS |
Photos already posted on Atlas F.1 - The Nostalgia Forum and here published with author’s permission. Comments by Barry Boor slighty modified; Italian translation is mine On the map you see above, you will find red numbers (denoting the corners) and black letters with little arrows by them (referring to the images and the direction that I was looking at the time). Sorry about the missing section (I must go back sometime!!!) I hope this gives a taste of what must have been a very interesting and exciting place to run a motor race. |
