2009 Rally a Success

Take twenty intrepid crews in a variety of Italian cars, add 1250 kilometres of fabulous driver’s roads between Sydney and Melbourne, throw in a few questions to ensure that everyone follows the correct route, spice the whole lot up with plenty of gourmet Italian food, wine and camaraderie, then mix in a few surprises, and you have the recipe for three days of pure enjoyment that also provides opportunities to support some very worthwhile charities. Enter the Italian Connection Trophy touring assembly which was held on the weekend of 22 – 24 May and is now set to become an annual affair, such was the success of this year’s event.

First conducted in 2008 with a small but enthusiastic entry list, the 2009 Italian Connection built on the previous year’s success. So much so that many of the original competitors came back for more, bringing with them a host of new entries keen to experience what must rate as one of the most enjoyable low-key rallies on the calendar.

With the benefit of Sydney suburb, Leichhardt supporting the event, the city’s mayor flagged competitors away at 10am on a rainy Sydney Friday, escorted on their way south by a flotilla of Italian cars, Fiats and Ferraris, Alfas and Abarths led by a Police escort and the Pace Car both brand new Fiat 500’s.
