| The old Pescara open road circuit, which dated back to Prewar years, started in the town, wound up into the surrounding hills then descended to a long straight. It was about 25 km in length, longer than the Nürburgring as well as faster and more dangerous, with an average lap time for Grand Prix cars of just over 10 minutes. Here the 1957 World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio takes his Maserati 250F through the town. He qualified on pole but finished second to the Vanwall of Stirling Moss who had gained competitiveness with a final drive ratio change overnight. |
