Targa Florio Classic Spectator
Discussion
Thinking of going on a weekend break to Sicily next month and thought it would be fun to align it with the Targa Florio Classic on 10-13 October but can find very little information for spectators.
I've looked at their Facebook and website and found start/finish times and a very vague route map/graphic but that's about it. No information about viewing points or spectator facilities. They didn't reply to my email. Usual Italian organisation!
Has anyone been as a spectator? Is it best to hang around the start finish points or is it just a case of finding a spot by the roadside and hoping some cars come past? Do they run all day or just come by in groups? I know there's a public car display in Palermo Thursday night but would like to see the cars running.
I'll have a car and have driven the route before so know the area a bit but, don't want to be standing round in the Sicilian countryside waiting for cars that never come by. Ideally I'd find a cafe/restaurant in a village I can watch from but no information on that on the Internet either.
It seems it's more geared for participants than spectators.
