Not to Angoulême, next week to Italy, too late for the first event.

September 2026: Gran Premio Nuvolari (September 17–20), a highly prestigious international regularity rally for historic cars. The massive 1,100 km route spans five Italian regions, also Umbria. The route: stopping at the Autodromo dell'Umbria in Magione and winding through historic local city centers. Also the Cronoscalata della Castellana (September 25–27, 2026) a famous Italian hill climb event celebrating its 53rd edition. While it features modern race cars, it traditionally highlights a spectacular lineup of historic racing vehicles. Not far away from our temporary address, in Orvieto, Umbria. To October: the Modena Cento Ore (October 6–11, 2026). One of Italy's premier luxury historic car challenges, combining circuit racing and closed-road hill climbs. While it originates across the border in Emilia-Romagna/Tuscany, the rally's changing multi-day transit stages frequently dip into the scenic roads and valleys of neighboring Umbria.

Last but not least, to-do list, buy an extra memory card for my little Panasonic camera.

Are you competing? If so, in what car?

I’m afraid that, with my 2010 petrol Mitsubishi Outlander, I’ll be lucky if they even let me get anywhere near there...
