The Golden Age Of Rally

"The Golden Age Of Rally" is the title of a temporary exhibition hosted by Turin's National Automobile Museum between October 2022 and May 2023. And it's really something special.
It all started with a Fiat X1/9, albeit a rather unique one.
That's because it was the fortuitous discovery and subsequent restoration of the X1/9 Group 4 prototype he raced with Clay Regazzoni in the 1974 Giro D'Italia that spurred Gino Macaluso (European Rally Champion in 1972 with Raffaele Pinto and the Fiat 124 Abarth, later a successful entrepreneur in the horology sector) to build over the years an outstanding collection including the most important rally cars of all time.
Following his death in 2010, his family took care of the collection and, in 2018, established in his memory the "Fondazione Gino Macaluso Per L'Auto Storica" to spread the culture of vintage racing and sports cars and pay tribute to those who gave their contribution to motorsport.
All but one of the cars in the exhibition belong to the Foundation and are genuine racers painstakingly restored to their "works" specification. The display is a passionate, loving tribute to three decades of rallying history starting from the mid-60s, when the discipline saw its popularity spike following the Mini Cooper's successes, up until the early 1990s and the end of Lancia's involvement in the sport. #rally #history #motorsport
