EDITORIAL
There's a Swiss flavour to this week's ClassicInside. We've a report on last weekend's Villars-sur-Ollon historic hillclimb, and a preview of what's to come early next month when the doors of the second Geneva Classics open to the public.
As we say in the preview, it was a good event to go to last year – particularly due to its proximity to Geneva airport –
and makes a nice day out that can also include a meal in town.
Move a little further south and it's all clinking glasses and yachting caps at the Monaco Yacht Show right now, while next weekend will see a one-off gathering of the men behind Lamborghini's legendary Miura and Countach motor cars, together with a good sprinkling of the cars themselves, personifying ‘supercar excess'.
And who says the summer is over and there's nothing to do?

Villars-sur-OllonHistoric HillclimbHillclimbs are a form of motorsport poetry: man and machine against nature for a short, intense burst of speed, in some ways the purest form of our sport. Only hardened cynics would be left cold by such a truly fine event as the Villars-sur-Ollon historic hillclimb. read more... |
