	Pescara Grand Prix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pescara Grand Prix is the longest circuit ever used in the F1 World Championship, at just under 16 miles.
		The circuit started on the roads in the outskirts of the town, the course followed the coastline, until heading inland toward the villages Spoltore and Villa Raspa.
		The circuit closed for good in 1961 as it was impossible for race organisers to guarantee safety.

	The Circuits
		Pescara was a triangular circuit which involved two ultra-fast legs and a base that was both twisty and hilly.
		The circuit was used by all of the major car manufactures in Italy to test their cars and a victory in the Coppa Acerbo was considered a victory above all others.
		The Mellaha circuit home of the Tripoli Grand Prix, used to be one of the fastest if not finest in the world.

	Monte Carlo
		The first race was run in 1929, and in 1950, it was second on the calendar, when ten cars collided in a spectacular first lap accident, and Fangio raced on for the win.
		It is a circuit based more ondriver skill than the speed of the car.
		The circuit is cambered off the centre, like other normal streets, resulting in unusual racing lines, whilst painted lines and manhole covers are a particular menace in the wet.

		The Pescara circuit was established in 1924 and in 1957 hosted a round of the Formula 1 World Championship.
		The racing was held on a 3.3-mile road circuit and the non-championship F1 event became an important one with victories going to the likes of Gigi Villoresi, Alberto Ascari and Toulo de Graffenried.

		The first official test for the new car had to be the circuit of Pescara (May 11th 1947): Ferrari took sides with his 125 S with 1,5 liters 12 cylinders, driven by Franco Cortese.
		A solution, this, which was imitated from many factories, but that the same Maserati abandoned soon in order to return to the previous configuration; in fact the car had great qualities and could be driven very easily along tormented distances, in which it had great agility, torque and almost perfect weight distribution.
		And in fact, when to these characteristics was added the sublime qualities of Giovanni Bracco, great pilot on circuits, the successes arrived plentiful: among them, surely the most important one was the Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti; the winning of Bracco had been made more extraordinary with the 2nd place of Villoresi.

	Grand Prix Racing - the whole story
		The circuit was a demanding course utilising roads around the seaside town of Pescara.
		The inaugural event in 1924 resulted in a victory for one Enzo Ferrari, while during the thirties the Pescara Grand Prix invariably attracted the top class drivers, all of whom were keen to show their skills on the narrow, bumpy circuit.

		Nowadays car races take place on proper circuits and the ability of the drivers is often shadowed by their sponsors.
		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.

		In 1925 he runs with the Sunbeam but the season is not fortunate and wins only at the circuit of Novara and obtains at the Tourist Trophy the Visitor's Cup, prize for the best foreign participant.

		For the 1927 he continues to runs with the motorcycles: passes to the Moto Guzzi and obtains with the 250 a great victory at the circuit of Savio while the rest of the season, because of mechanical problems, is not very profitable.

		Having all the attributes that would make it fit into tracks being used 40 years later - too many corners and too few straights, the circuit was highly unpopular with the Continental drivers who generally detested it.
		The surroundings did little improve things since it was surrounded by industrial sites and generally gray and grimy on the best of days.
		At the Pescara circuit, Moss not only won, he set the fastest lap in doing so.
