Lancia and Alfa Romeo stars of the “Vernasca Silver Flag 2014”

20 to 22 June will see the “Vernasca Silver Flag 2014”, a tribute to the historic Castell'Arquato–Vernasca time trial which ran from 1953 to 1972.

Gone is the stopwatch of yesteryear: today’s event is in the form of a “dynamic preservation and restoration competition” – the cars parade on roads closed to traffic at a limited speed – reserved to racing cars built between the start of the twentieth century and 1972.

Organised by the Club Piacentino Automotoveicoli d’Epoca (“Piacenza Historic Motor Car Club”), this year’s “Vernasca Silver Flag 2014” is dedicated to the Lancia brand and its glorious sporting past, which reached its zenith in the 1950s – with the legendary D24, D25 and D50 driven in the World Constructors’ Championship and Formula 1 – and 1970s/1980s, when the Fulvia HF, Stratos and Delta became the cars to beat in rallying, repeatedly picking up victories and World Championship titles.
