The Targa Florio was a public road endurance race held in the mountains of Sicily near the island's capital of Palermo. Founded in 1906, it was the oldest sports car racing event and part of the World Sportscar Championship between 1955 - 1973. After 1973 it was a national sports car event until it was discontinued in 1977 due to safety concerns. It has since been revived as the Targa Florio Classica which takes place annually. #targaflorio #palermo #vintagecars #italy
