Grand Prix Nuvolari - Eberhard & Co.
Fifth consecutive win for the Vesco-Guerini crew.

Mantua applauded the Vesco-Guerini crew from Brescia on their fifth consecutive win at the Nuvolari Grand Prix in a 1934 Fiat 508 S Balilla Sport, their sixth win in Mantua, after a flawless race narrowly won ahead of the 1958 Volvo P120 manned by Margiotta-Perno.

The home team Classicteam-Eberhard triumphed in the team rankings with the two excellent placings of the duos Di Pietra– Di Pietra in a 1938 Fiat 508 C and Sisti-Gualandi in a 1938 Lancia Aprilia, coming fourth and fifth respectively.

Fans eagerly awaited and gave a warm welcome to world rally legend and Eberhard & Co. Brand Ambassador Miki Biasion, invited to take part in the race together with Managing Director Mario Peserico in a 1968 Lancia Fulvia Rally (with a change of car prior to the start due to problems with the electrical system).

The great champion wowed the crowds that thronged the streets and the squares where the Grand Prix passed. At the awards ceremony held at Mantua’s Bibbiena Theatre, Miki Biasion said "I enjoyed it, it was like taking a trip back in time" said Biasion at the awards ceremony. " Some of the cars in the race made me interested in cars and in this sport, wonderful cars, a real feast for the eyes. And time is the key element of these races, time that has to be kept accurately and consistently, a time to be lived passionately, a time to be enjoyed in the most beautiful villages and squares in the country.
