“ I do believe that this fourth edition of the Autogiro d’Italia has confirmed once again how much enthusiasm, friendship and passion is brought in to the event by our participants – says Race Director Giampiero Sacchi.  I have always thought that their satisfaction and enjoyment would be the best recognition to us, and an award which would help us forget how many and how big efforts we carry on every year to build up such a complex and complicated event.

I am extremely happy to see here in Pescara so many beautiful classic cars and participants brought together as a group whose friendship has been growing up day after day, stage after stage, kilometre after kilometre.  Having travelled throughout southern Italy has been a unique sensation which we will hardly forget.

It is with great pleasure that I take this occasion to congratulate all classes podiums, and of course the winner in the final standing, crew Zappelli – Scandurra, whose third victory in a row makes them enter our Hall of Fame.   Autogiro d’Italia is not an easy stroll, it requires a good mix of precision and perseverance.   Tiredness comes out sooner or later and motivation makes the difference.

I wish to thank the City of Pescara which has welcomed us with great enthusiasm and  all municipalities  involved.  Special thanks also to the City of Matera, to ASI under whose name we operate with pride,  to CSI, to our sponsors which are a true support not only economically speaking, to the Carabinieri and to the Lega del Filo d’Oro.  Many thanks also to the huge team which is our organizing group and finally to all participants which have relied their confidence on us.   From now on we are just moving towards a magnificent Autogiro d’Italia 2023”

Courtesy of the Rossi concessionaire, driven by  crew Paloni – Conti, the EQC has taken part to the 2021 Autogiro d’Italia on the super car class, a challenge made of more than 300 km to be  covered daily including  skill tests and harsh weather conditions that have put to the test the technological part of this car but at the same time  has been an evidence to prove the real capacities of this car.

Despite the toughness of the path which on many occasions brought the crews 1400m above the sea level , and the long distances covered in every stage of which two exceeded the 300 km, the EQC has classified second in the super car category showing once again If any were needed that the combination  net zero emission and the highest level of performance is possible and Mercedes Benz is deemed a pioneer in the field of green mobility.
