The road is often extremely narrow. For the 150,000 spectators, this spectacle, a motor sport experience second to none. Boisterous pre-war Bentley, whose shots sound like misfire from a shotgun or driving a modern Formula 1 racer, whose eight-cylinder eardrums of the audience screaming at the pain threshold.
