27ª Vernasca Silver Flag
Once again, we make our way to the marvelous Vernasca Silver Flag for its 27th edition. Setting off from Milan with Pablo, Michele, and Domi (all experts in Italian automobiles), we enjoyed an exceptional day. This year, the event was sponsored by Maserati, allowing us to witness unique and active specimens.
Vernasca Silver Flag is an annual classic car event held in the town of Vernasca, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. It is a competition that celebrates the passion for historic automobiles and brings together enthusiasts from around the world. The event focuses on classic and vintage sports cars, ranging from antique vehicles to racing cars from the 1920s to the 1970s. During Vernasca Silver Flag, participants have the opportunity to exhibit their cars, compete in a special route, and socialize with other classic vehicle lovers.
The route of Vernasca Silver Flag takes place on the picturesque hills and roads of the region, providing participants with an exciting and challenging experience. In addition to the on-road competition, the event also features car exhibitions, elegance contests, and other activities related to the world of classic motors.
Vernasca Silver Flag has become a highly popular event, attracting a large number of participants and spectators each year. It is a unique opportunity to admire historic vehicles in action and enjoy the shared passion for classic car racing.
From 1953 to 1972, the Automobile Club of Piacenza (CPAE) organized 17 editions of the uphill speed race from Castell'Arquato to Vernasca. The event was initially created as a minor provincial competition.
The 8.9 km uphill route was developed with different characteristics, featuring a 5 km straight road in the first part, followed by 34 curves in the final section, most of which were tight turns. In the first edition, with 40 participants, Alfa Romeo took part with the driver Consalvo, driving a splendid 3000CM. Since 1994, CPAE has organized a recreation of the race with a regularity contest, the main event for Piacenza and its surrounding enthusiasts who wish to compete against the clock. Since 1996, they have also started organizing the Vernasca Silver Flag, following the same route on a closed road from the past, but with a dynamic competition formula focused on preservation and restoration of racing cars.
We hope the organization continues to maintain the current informal, authentic, and simple format in the future!
We encourage them to do so! Thanks to Mario and his team for all the help and facilities provided!

Purchase of Tesla Model 3 Cover By: Steph
Professionally made cover that fits my car well. I was worried about handling it alone, but I managed just fine. Very professional service and very fast shipping. The price is high, but probably due to the good quality of the cover, which I can only properly evaluate in 3 to 4 years based on its durability. -
Excellent service and car cover! By: Alan M
Ms. Julian recently helped me with my car cover purchase, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. This cover offers excellent protection against the elements, keeping my vehicle safe from dust, dings etc. The fit is snug and tailored, ensuring it stays in place even all around, over my expensive forged wheels. The material is high quality, durable yet lightweight, making it easy to put on and remove. I also appreciate the breathable design, which prevents moisture buildup underneath. Overall, this car cover has exceeded my expectations, providing peace of mind and maintaining my car's condition. However there was a slight hiccup on my first order. But Ms. Julian resolved/replaced it swiftly. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone looking to protect their vehicle! -

An elegant cover for my Bel Air By: Gianni TAURISANO
Excellent product that fits perfectly. There’s enough space even around the mirrors. -
Very supportive and comfortable By: Michael W.
I purchased these for my 2022 Ford Bronco with cloth seats. The seats always bothered me as I find them very unsupportive. The seat covers added bolstering to the side and helps add a lot more support and now my back feels a lot better. Not perfect, but much better. I only installed them on the drivers seat thus far but the install was straight forward. -
Very sturdy cover. By: Giacomino Bergagna
Excellent product. The inner lining is super soft. Well-built. Fits perfectly. Easy to put on. I always keep the travel cover in place. Worth buying, I recommend it. -
Perfect By: Frank
Cover received earlier than announced. Excellent quality, as described, and in a very nice storage bag. We'll see how it holds up over time, but for now, perfect and very satisfied with my purchase. Thank you. -
Porsche Panamera 4S AWESOME By: Panamera NW
Perfect for indoor garage storage at home. Super soft, medium weight, great pocket fit. Keeps me from getting tire marks on my jeans from those fat tires. The optional inscription was perfect and carried on the nose and on the accompanying carrying bag.
