We remember that sport is respect for the rules”.
“For the city of Alghero, the competition that continues to evolve thanks to Ac Sassari, is a historic event,” said Deputy Mayor Francesco Marinaro. “We all grew up with the excitement of racing cars towards the Scala Piccada and everyone has a memory or anecdote related to the race, which means exaltation of the territory, naturally according to the expected safety standards.”
