It featured over 40-hours behind the wheel, interspersed with very short lunch breaks; 200 municipalities crossed in seven Italian regions, and also the Republic of San Marino.
There were 65 withdrawals recorded in the four legs from Brescia-Rome and back. This year there was a record number of applications for registration: with 725 received by the organisers of the "traveling museum”, with 450 accepted and cars and drivers coming from all over the world.
