It’s true that hope is one of the most powerful drivers of pleasure. During that dark period at the beginning of the pandemic, many events were hastily rescheduled to what seemed like a distant October. It happened to the 1000 Miglia which we’ll talk about separately, and for other large events such as Goodwood and the Targa Florio. Good thing that the hope of a beautiful future is still safe and sound!

After cancelling the Festival of Speed and the Revival, Goodwood decided to organize its Speed Week from the 16^thto 18^th October and gave fans from all over the world the possibility to live stream the races and shows that have always distinguished the Goodwood Motor Circuit.

Certainly, a great idea and one that shows how the dream, in the hands of a genius like Charles March, can continue to be a reality. It was a compelling melting pot between the past and the present, where the greatest victories in the history of motorsport were celebrated – 70 years of F1 with historic single-seaters on the track, 50 years of Porsche from the first victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in addition to commemorating many races from a forgotten past. Magnificent.

Another famous name from Italy joined Goodwood over the same few days: the Targa Florio. With courage and tenacity, the re-enactment was kept alive, allowing the world to discover the extraordinarily unique beauty and culture of Sicily.

The Targa Florio, which from 1906 to 1977 saw racing cars battle it out on public roads as it also qualified for the World Sports Championship, was raced over various routes over time and therefore offers a varied itinerary that that also includes the slopes of the spectacular Etna volcano.

Hoping to put this difficult period behind us as soon as possible, we applaud Goodwood and Targa Florio for their determination to keep going.

Adopting all the necessary security measures, they managed to put on two outstanding events dedicated to fans across the world even in this difficult year. Let’s celebrate their efforts with the most beautiful shots of the events selected for you by TCCT.
