  • 90Th Anniversary of the Targa Florio Victory: Bugatti Wins Fifth Consecutive Title
    90th anniversary of the Targa Florio victory: Bugatti wins fifth consecutive title MOLSHEIM 02 05 2019 FOR MANY YEARS BUGATTI DOMINATED THE MOST IMPORTANT CAR RACE OF THE 1920S Legends were born on this track. Targa Florio in Sicily was considered the world’s hardest, most prestigious and most dangerous long-distance race for many years. Today, current Bugatti models remind us of the drivers from back in the day. Sicilian entrepreneur Vincenzo Florio established his own race on family-owned roads in the Madonie region. Between 1906 and 1977, sports cars raced for the title at international races, some of which even had sports car world championship status. Winners at this race could proudly advertise their victory. For this reason, all important sports car manufacturers sent their vehicles to Sicily. Between 1925 and 1929 Bugatti dominated the race with the Type 35. In particular, in 1928 and 1929, one man showcased his skills at the wheel of his vehicle: Albert Divo. In these two years he was unbeatable in his Bugatti Type 35 C, winning the race in Sicily on 5 May 1929 after having also claimed the top spot in 1928. He also set a further record when he crossed the finish line: the “Fabrik Bugatti” team won the title five times in a row – this had never been done before in the history of the Targa Florio and remained an unbeaten record until the end of the last official races, to this day. A reason to look back. After all, the race was anything but easy: initially one lap of the “Piccolo circuito delle Madonie” was around 148 kilometres, from 1919 organisers cut the race lap distance to a still considerable 108 kilometres.

  • BMW Group Corporate Communications
    BMW Group Corporate Communications Comunicato stampa N. 37/08 San Donato Milanese, 1 aprile 2008 Icone per intenditori – i trent’anni della BMW M1 La stella era vestita di un bianco candido: quando nell’autunno del 1978 si aprirono i cancelli del 64° Salone di Parigi, gli appassionati delle auto sportive non avevano che una destinazione – lo stand della BMW Motorsport GmbH. Lì potevano ammirare un nuovo modello super ribassato ed estremamente dinamico che dimostrava chiaramente già dal primo sguardo di essere la più veloce auto sportiva stradale tedesca: la BMW M1, alta 1.140 mm, potente (277 CV) e veloce (ben oltre i 260 km/h). “Tutti sono corsi intorno alla nuova auto sportiva della BMW con motore centrale – scriveva la stampa – e l’elenco degli ordini in arrivo supera le più rosee aspettative. Per esempio, un appassionato americano di BMW ne ha già ordinati tre esemplari”. Era qualcosa di impressionante, considerando che, nel 1978, la super sportiva BMW aveva un prezzo di esattamente 100.000 marchi, abbastanza per acquistare quattro BMW 323is più un paio di optional extra. Sarebbe giusto dire che poche automobili erano attese con tanto entusiasmo ed aspettativa come la BMW M1, che rappresentava tutto il know-how della casa di Monaco in termini di sport motoristico. Il Progetto E 26, come veniva indicata internamente all’azienda l’M1 che ancora non aveva un nome, era iniziato nel 1976. Doveva essere questa la prima vettura veramente eccezionale costruita dalla BMW Motorsport GmbH, divisione sportiva della BMW fondata nel 1972. Essendosi già creata un nome sulla scena internazionale delle competizioni con la veloce BMW 2002 e con la fantastica BMW 3.0 CSI, la divisione sportiva ora intendeva portare questo successo ad un livello ancora più alto con un’auto da competizione costruita e preparata appositamente per le gare dei Gr.
