The Vernasca Silver Flag 2023 – Hillclimb to heaven!
The story of the 27th edition of the Vernasca Silver Flag is really two stories – both very Suixtil as you’ll see.

The drum-brake series is back – Silverstone first!
Oh yes, we just love it – our friends Pia and Tony (yes, they of the Historic Racing Repertoire fame) are back with the series – you know the one: the drum brake series. It harks back to a gentler time of sportsmen and impossible cars that bore more than a passing resemblance with those …

The “drum brake series” goes racing at Oulton Park – a dream come true
And so it came to pass that the drum brake series we had introduced to you back in May just had their second outing – at Oulton Park – with your brand still associated with the whole exercise. Still held under the banner of the very kind banner of the HSCC, the most badly afflicted vintage …

The Vernasca Silver Flag keeps getting better (if that’s even possible)….
Back to its regular programming in June, audiences have once again gathered to celebrate everything motorized in Piacenza (between Milan and Parma, for reference), for that for the Vernasca Silver Flag.

Our friends from Hagerty do it again – in Greenwich this time!
In another classic case of “success breeds success”, our friends at Hagerty have demonstrated once again their knack for putting together events that people love.

The Amelia dazzles – and Mariano’s there to see it all!
Yes, talk about turning a corner – the Amelia (as it is now known) has always occupied a special place in the calendar – of course, the Arizona auctions earlier in the year mark a great kick-off to the season, but it is with the Amelia that things really get started in earnest. It’s a …
