Named in honour of Italian superstar Achille Varzi, who switched from motorcycles to cars in the late 1920s and achieved great success for Alfa Romeo, Auto Union and Bugatti during the 1930s, the Varzi Trophy will form part of the 12-race programme during the Springtime spectacular.

Catering for cars that competed up to 1939, the race will feature a mouthwatering line-up comprising beauties from Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, Delahaye, Maserati and Talbot-Lago.
