Giro di Sicilia 1955

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint

The 15th Giro di Sicilia in motorsport , also 15 ° Giro di Sicilia , took place on April 3, 1955 and led over 1,088 km from Palermo to Trapani and back to Palermo.

The race

The Giro di Sicilia was a road race that was first held in Sicily in 1912. As with the Targa Florio , Vincenzo Florio was the founder and promoter of the race. In contrast to the Targa, which was driven over several laps on the circuit of the Grande Madonie, the Giro was a road race on public roads similar to the Mille Miglia .

In 1955 Piero Taruffi won the Ferrari 118LM ahead of his team-mate Umberto Maglioli . In all publications, apart from one vehicle, only those pilots and vehicles are listed that reached the destination and were rated. This data was also recorded here. Nothing is known about other racing cars that may have failed.
