The Targa Florio, also known as the World Championship of Makes, is a legendary race that has seen its fair share of triumphs and challenges throughout history. From Carlo Pietromarchi and Maurizio Micangeli's Team Carlo Pietromarchi De Tomaso Pantera retiring from the race after just four laps in 1972 to Andrew Howe-Davies' impressive performances in his SCAT Type C Racer, this event has always been filled with excitement. Looking back at its origins, we find Giulio Foresti behind the wheel of a 1922 Ballot during the Targa Florio. The creator of this captivating image remains unknown, but it perfectly captures the essence of this iconic race. Another memorable moment was Vincenzo Trucco's victory in 1908, making him an Italian racing legend forever etched into history. Over time, the Targa Florio became synonymous with adrenaline-fueled competition and showcased some remarkable vehicles like Tony Best's Alfa Romeo RLS in 1972 or Andrew Howe-Davies' SCAT Type C Racer on multiple occasions. Each car represented not only power and speed but also determination and skill. One cannot forget Jean Porporato finishing fourth in a Berliet during one edition of the Targa Florio Race back in 1908. His achievement serves as a reminder that success can come from unexpected places. Throughout its existence, the Targa Florio has remained an integral part of motorsport culture. It continues to attract enthusiasts who appreciate both classic cars and thrilling races. As participants compete for glory year after year, they contribute to upholding this prestigious event's legacy within the World Championship of Makes arena.
