		We can remember for example, the race called 'Coppa Acerbo' which took place every year on 15th August in Pescara, an Italian seaside resort on the Adriatic Coast, from 1924 (when it was won by a young Enzo Ferrari) on, and was with its 25 Km the longest circuit in the world championship.
		After being interrupted for World War II, the 'Circuito di Pescara', as the 'Coppa Acerbo' was called after the conflict, took place for a last time in 1957 (though it briefly resurfaced again in 1960 and 1961) because, like all the other car races running through towns, it was deemed too dangerous.
		Richard Williams, chief sports writer for the British newspaper The Guardian, has retraced in his book The Last Road Race - The 1957 Pescara Grand Prix (Weidenfeld & Nicolson) the emotions, fears and joys of that last 1957 race.
