Bestell-Nr.	Ten days in Sicily
Hersteller

Ten days in Sicily is based on a story of four British young men who went to Sicily in May 1966 to watch the last real road race, the Targa Florio. Arriving in time for the Syracuse Grand Prix, they drove their Fiat 124 saloon press car to Syracuse to watch this first GP race in Europe for the new three-liter formula. Not all teams had a new 3-litre enginge ready – except for Ferrari, Brabham and Cooper, all still used “old” machinery. John Surtees won the race in the new Ferrari. Jack Brabham experienced trouble early in the race with his Repco 3-litre V8 and was out as were both the new Cooper-Maseratis driven by Jo Siffert and pirvateer Guy Ligier.

All four gentlemen were amateur photographers who used Kodachrome slide film, famous for its vivid colour quality. Autor Tony Adriaensens had the chance to use their photo collections to get a complete, high quality visual on all participants to the Targa Florio 1966.

Two off the surviving “travellers” wrote down their personal memories to tell the story of their journey to Sicily. This, in combinatin with the personal experiences from drivers (Ninco Vaccarella, Ignazio Capuano, Jack Wheeler, Alan Minshaw and Rauno Aaltonen, etc..) plus period race reports taken from the best magazines of the day in English, German, French and Italian gives you a complete view on what happened in those Ten days in Sicily: the GP of Syracuse, the Trofeo Marathon an the Targa Florio.
