Ferrari vintage rally race will retrace classic tour of Sicily

The Eco Targa Florio will commemorate the world's oldest auto racing event in September by hosting a classic car experience for high-performance Ferraris.

All cars from the legendary Italian manufacturer built between 1948 to the present are welcome to tackle the course, which retraces the route of the Piccolo Circuito delle Madonie.

Specialist classic car insurance users from around the UK and Europe are due to line up in the race, which is reminiscent of the historic revivals of the Mille Miglia and the Coppa Milano-Sanremo.

The 2011 race represents the culmination of efforts to re-install the Targa Florio on the international calendar since it was relaunched in 2007 by philanthropic enthusiasts and former competitors of the Targa Florio Foundation.

Categories for the race mean sport and sport prototypes from 1948 to 1977 are also eligible to enter, however cars that have been issued with the Ferrari Classiche Certificate of authenticity will take precedence in the selection process over models that have not. The event starts in Cerde, Sicily, on September 28th.
