    The Countach Downdraft is driven by the famed Stanislao Sterzel alongside other Lamborghini giants in what I'm sure will pass to be known as an iconic feature by Ruoteclassiche magazine Ruoteclassiche | Ruoteclassiche

    Anyone know whose Padova-registered with color-coded mirrors DD this is?

    There is nothing like a good magazine article to stoke dreams.

    Joe, I think your mixing up Vairano with Varano de Melegari, the later owned by the Dallara family.

    The pictures of the review were taken at Vairano (PV) whereas Bob tested the LP500 frequently in Varano, getting the keys from Gian-Paolo Dallara.
    In the countach thread some pictures of the LP500 were shown lapping in Varano.

    https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodromo_di_Vairano:
    L'autodromo di Vairano – noto anche come Automotive Safety Center – è un circuito automobilistico di proprietà della rivista Quattroruote. - Owned by Quattroruote.

    https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodromo_Riccardo_Paletti, http://www.autodromovarano.it/, http://www.motorvalley.com/racetracks/autodromo-varano
    L'autodromo Riccardo Paletti è un circuito che si trova nel comune di Varano de' Melegari in provincia di Parma. Fondato nel 1969, l'impianto è stato dedicato nel 1983[2] alla memoria del giovane pilota italiano Riccardo Paletti, deceduto nel 1982 durante il Gran Premio del Canada di Formula 1.

    Gian Paolo Dallara, together wit his father Ennio, is one of the partners and founders, and he is still very involved with all activities of the circuit.

    Thanks for that pointer Raymond, you are right. The difference an "i" can make. It would have been even better if it was Varano instead of Vairano!

    Wilhelm Hinghaus on the Grade Giro, the car showing road dirt. There's a man who owned a Countach during the production period - and still owns the same one.

    This was a similar lineup at the 40th. I was asked by the factory to park my car (black DD) in the front row. Right next to me was a purple SE30 and a new Murci. The front row Miura from Belgium had a SV emblem but it did not seem to have the SV wide rear quarter panels.

    EVO magazine 2012 comparo

    Later on in 2016, I'm producing a Downdraft vs Ferrari 288 GTO comparo, that should be interesting as well
