250KM Rally: Wish You Were Here
250 KM RALLY
WISH YOU WERE HERE
Words: Alessandro Marrone

Every day, at the third morning coffee, I repeat myself that at night we should sleep, but when the Sun gives its place to the Moon, the classic bulb of the brilliant ideas comes on intermittently and so I find myself taking notes that I will show to my colleagues at the office the following day. This happens when your job coincides with a great passion – you can’t pull off the plug, and maybe you do not even intend to. The 250Km Rally was born this way, over a night spent writing notes on my mobile, figuring how a photo shoot could be organized and mixed with a driving tour. It’s not a simple business, because shootings take time, the possibility to move and stop without problems, and therefore practically impossible to deal with a huge number of cars. Here, I solved what seemed the only real obstacle, thinking that the solution would be to open this initiative to a maximum of seven cars, the magnificent seven. We would have involved some of the most representative performance cars, no distinction of brand or age, we would take them on a road that would have been carved into the hearts and memories of each participant and everyone could have kept this adventure not only through this article and to the beautiful photo gallery, but with an individual photo book, each dedicated to every single car – the 250Km Rally was taking shape.
