In this episode of Vintage Car Chronicles, we explore the legendary Targa Florio, one of the most demanding and historic races in motorsport. Founded in 1906 by Vincenzo Florio, this grueling endurance event took place on the treacherous mountain roads of Sicily, featuring thousands of corners and extreme elevation changes. Over the decades, the Targa Florio became a proving ground for legendary manufacturers like Porsche, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, and Bugatti, as well as racing icons like Tazio Nuvolari, Stirling Moss, and Vic Elford. Though discontinued as a major race in 1977 due to safety concerns, its legacy lives on through historic rallies and tributes. Join us as we uncover the history, challenges, and unforgettable moments of the Targa Florio.
