[preview] Alpine Grand Prix III
Another easy drive has come to an end thanks to quiet people, those with a light right foot and always ready to pull over, snap a selfie and have a rest. NO, the complete opposite! For this edition of the Alpine Grand Prix we drove for about 260 kilometers, challenging fog, rain and some of the most demanding Alpine roads between Italy and France, for a total of 7 mountain passes and an unspecified number of hairpins where nobody has spared his own sports car, showing that there are still real enthusiasts out there, those who use their beautiful car for a specific reason: live strong emotions, but also getting sideways and taking on that incessant race to the red line that is impossible to explain to those who prefer to have their sports car segregated in a garage collecting dust.
The Alpine Grand Prix is an indigestion of bends, a binge of hairpin curves devoted to satisfying that deepest desire to tighten a steering wheel and crunch kilometers that you will not easily forget, but as always the main ingredient and which makes every edition an appointment to be marked in capital letters on the calendar is brought by the people we are lucky enough to meet here. Each of them with their own car, their own story, their own adventures to tell and thus entering into what we see more like a great family growing year after year, it’s not a traditional driving tour. And when it’s time to say goodbye, you already think about the next climb, maybe with a more lenient weather, where we’ll have the chance to unleash the horses for more than we were able to do in those parts of the day when the sun came out and radiated the picturesque snake of asphalt of this incredible adventure shared with the best people we could have wished for.
Coming soon the full review and the complete photo gallery.
