Enzo Ferrari made a decision: his cars would make their debut at the Piacenza Circuit, in the first race of the Italian racing championship.
The race would have taken place on 11 May 1947, organised by the city’s Automobile Club on the Wauxsall avenue circuit, the name owing its origins to the Vauxhall gardens in London and corrupted by locals to “facsal.”
This avenue skirted the ancient south facing city walls, overlooking the countryside, described as “a place of joy, to test oneself and of the new.”
The track was bumpy, even though the biggest potholes had been patched up and the crowd gathered in the shade of the Plane trees, where there were also some small grandstands.
It was the ideal venue for any type of racing; running, cycling, scooters and real motorcycles.
