Just got a mail with new info about Spa Italia 2005 event: SpaItalia May 29, 2005 A Tribute to Pininfarina in Francorchamps ! Following the success of the 2004 edition which has seen no less than1.135 Italian cars on the most beautiful circuit of the world, the organisers have decided to pay, this year, a tribute to a myth of the Italian know-how in the design and coach building sector. Indeed, Pininfarina is a master in car design. Hes at the origin of the most beautiful Ferraris, from the unforgettable 250 GT SWB to the last F-430 or the gorgeous Enzo. He was also the author of a number of concept cars like the Ferrari Modulo or the Sigma of Formula 1. By celebrating the 75th anniversary of the factory, the organisers of SpaItalia will acknowledge the contribution of this small artisan who became one of the greatest industrials of the automobile history. It was, indeed, on 22 May 1930 that Gina-Battista Farina (brother of the famous driver Nino Farina) launched the «Società Anonima Carrozzeria Pinin Farina ». Seventy-five years later, on Sunday 29 May 2005, all the enthusiasts of nice Italian cars will meet in Francorchamps to contemplate the most beautiful pieces of the Turin factory. The other theme of this edition is the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Ecurie Nationale Belge, the famous ENB which used mainly Italian racing cars in the fifties. The usual attractions such as the first runs in Ferrari, the Grande Parade, the Concours dElegance will be available.
