A prescindere dallo sport, forse potremmo paragonare la Targa Florio al Royal Ascot inglese. Non sappiamo se le signore siciliane abbiano avuto cappellini in grado di rivaleggiare con le inglesi, ma anche la celebre gara automobilistica italiana ha avuto il merito di interessare un pubblico composto da nobiltà, borghesia e popolo.
Targa Florio like Royal Ascot? of course not for sport and we do’n know if italian ladies hats were so peculiar like english, but surely also italian race assembled in the first years of XX Century, people of different classes. Born in 1906 the race is now different and for its 100° anniversary saw 4 events. Eberhard & Co. sponsor and official time keeper of Targa Florio Classic, made a special V Champion Chronograph with logo of the race. Many VIP and past pilots attended this event.
