    From July 6 to 11, Brandon Wang invited his friends through France to Italy to join Maranello. The title of the gathering "the 250 Tornano a casa" is quite explicit !

    24 exceptional cars participated. Some by road, others by truck ... Apart from a public exhibition and a few laps at Le Mans Classic, cars were only visible in Sanremo.

    I'm glad to share some photos of this fantastic event...

    The route from Cuneo to Menton is great! I had planned to do this route in May on our way to Monaco, but unfortunately the Ferrari refused to start and so took the daily driver. We took the fastest route to gain some time spending in Monaco. Next time I'll be certain to do the mountain route!

    Etienne, I echo Marcel's sentiments- thank you VERY much for taking the time to document and share this event with us.
    Marcel, thank you for this list- what an incredible group of cars, including no less than 2 overall winners at Le Mans. Wow!

    Many thanks must be given to Brandon Wang and his friends for sharing these cars through this event. Simply amazing.

    Best,
    Dave

    Thank you very much Dave. It was not easy to obtain useful information for organize the trip! In fact, I discovered the route almost day to day. The worry was not to see all the cars : most traveled in trucks. Fortunately, all were visible in Sanremo. It was amazing to see the reaction of tourists when they saw these wonders out of the trailers to be exhibited in the seafront !

    What a great event!
    Many thanks to Etienne for the fantastic pics and Marcel for the full list!

    These are the kind of events i like the most - best turnout of cars you can imagine.
    Good to see 1519GT on the road again. i have never seen recent pics of the car. The same for 1389GT.

    I saw it at Sport Auto Modena in May (just before Vila d'Este) but was not allowed to take pictures :( (very rare, it was on request from the owner PP. I guess he wanted to surprise everyone with the recent appearances).
