Chinese and the fear of the... Chi-cho!

When Barzini arrived in China he noted a kind of suspicion and fear by Chinese about the car. In fact in China this "enemy" is called "Chi-cho", or rather "Carro a combustibile". The chi-cho is the consequence of an other fear of this common: the train,called "Huo-cho" in China. It's interesting to note how other culture initially doesn't accept the evolution and the progress of technology. The raid continues..!

Some spot about cars

Now I want to share some spot about the history of cars (and obviously there is Ferrari too!).

Spot of Audi for the "24h of Le Mans-2013"

Wankel engine

The German engineer Felix Wankel patented the Wankel engine in 1957. This engine is different because it haven't pistons.

The start of the raid

10 June 1907. Borghese,Barzini,Guizzardi,the princess Anna Maria and Don Livio Borghese left from Beijing. At the start there weren't also a Contal(6 Hp), two De Dion-Bouton(10 Hp) and a Spyker(15 Hp).

Now an original passage from the book:

"Una elegante signora, Mme Boissonnas, moglie del primo segretario della Legazione francese, assume con graia l'incarico di starter. Essa solleva la bandiera. Segue un istante di silenzio nella moltitudine, durante il quale non si ode che la voce dei motori. Il fumo a tratti ci circonda e ci isola. La bandiera si abbassa. Scoppia un fragore di petardi e di mortari. Ci moviamo in mezzo a questo rumore di battaglia. Partiamo. Siamo partiti." 

Car and legend: Senna.

Friends, now i want to talk about one of my idols and examples of life: the legend, Ayrton Senna! 19 years ago he lost the life during the San Marino gran prix on the Autodromo "Enzo e Dino Ferrari". Now I want to celebrate this figure with a video. Good vision!

Art and car 2

Today i want to talk about a film that marked my life when i saw it. The Italian title is "Adrenalina blu" while the orginal title is "Michel Vaillant". It talks about the French comic created by French cartoonist Jean Graton. I advise the vision to who loves the 24H hours of Le Mans ,my favourite race. Some advice you can  find in this link:  Adrenalina Blu .
