    Correct, fire away

    Also, I always thought Imola was in San Marino, since that's what the event is called, but it's actually about 100 miles away in Italy

    San Marino is tiny so doesn't have a track and Italy already had GP at Monza so they renamed the event at the other Itlaian track to be San Marino GP.
    When Britain had second GP (Brands Hatch or Donnington) and Germany had second GP (Nürburgring) used to be called the European GP.
    Also it has been held in Valencia and Jerez.

    Actually GPs at Nürburgring were also called Luxembourg GP.

    Now they have dropped some European ones in favour of places like Malaysia, Bahrain, Abu Dabhi, China, Singapore, etc.

    Yep it is.

    Good lad.

    The mecca is of course Ferrari.

    And the road is Via Alberto Ascari leading into Ferrari buildings.

    Ascari's connection with Imola is that there is the Trofeo Alberto Ascari commemoration annual event held at Imola.
    It had only become race track around time of his death.

    BTW Ascari was two times world champion who drove for Ferrari and one of few guys to have ended up in harbour in Monaco.
    He was killed 4 days later driving a Ferrari sports car at Monza.

    But here is real weird thing about his death.
    He died at age of 36 on 26th May 1955 and his father was killed on 26 July 1925 also at age 36.
    Both had survived accidents 4 days before their deaths.
    And both were killed on exit of fast left hand corners.

    BTW could you not get smaller pic ;)
    Oh and smaller thumb. :D

    I am going to cry now for a while.

    Sempre Gilles.

    BTW by the looks of your pic they need that grass cutting.

    I have a brand new Honda lawnmower and would only be too willing to offer my services.
