Hello everyone, today I will take everyone to Hills Race 2024 in Rivanazzano Terme, Pavia, Italy. This race was held at the Rivanazzano Dragway, an old modified car race. This event was held from September 13-15. This race is held every year and this was my first time going to a car race. I went on the 15th, the last day.
I traveled by motorbike which is not far from my city. It took only 25-30 minutes to get to the event. We left early in the morning and when we arrived, there were not many people because there were very few cars parked. We bought tickets at the event and got a green wristband. At that time, the race was already underway. After finding a place to park the motorbike, we walked straight to the race location.
On both sides there are stands for viewing, or for those who want to watch from the edge, there are barriers on both sides. There will be a point for releasing cars before the race. The cars must test their engines by accelerating each car and letting out the burner to make a loud noise and smoke to signal that they are ready. Then they will be released before the race.
We didn't stand around for long because we just arrived. We walked around the event area. Inside the event, there were booths for each car, a large tent for cars to be displayed, some cars were being repaired. In addition, there were also modified motorcycles, both old and new. But this event focused more on cars. Each car was beautifully modified and had powerful engines. Some cars were old but still beautiful and usable when modified to be strong and fast.
Walked to one booth and saw people crowding around. When I got closer, I saw a beautifully decorated black car. This car was used in the Fast and Furious movie. It looked amazing when you see it in real life. But actually, almost all the cars that came to the event were beautiful. Personally, I like vintage cars. They look charming. I like them very much.
We walked around the event. Some cars were ready to park in a row to compete. While they were parked, it was even more beautiful. Each car was arranged to compete in pairs. They competed until they got the winning pair. We walked to the competition area again to watch the car race. The moment the cars were released was very exciting. There were only beautiful cars. The big clocks on both sides to track the speed of the cars were clearly visible. When each competition was over, a team of staff drove to pull the competing cars back.
After watching the program, it was almost noon, so we went to find something to eat for lunch. There weren't many shops, but there were enough for tourists. There were a lot of people queuing up at each shop to buy food. Today we had Mexican food, bought it and shared it with beer. The weather wasn't too hot today. After we finished eating, we walked to see the racing cars. In the meantime, there were souvenir shops, so we walked around and bought a jacket each. Then we went to see the racing cars.
Along the way, there were old classic cars parked in a row. There were groups of similar cars, some came to sleep here, there were classic camper vans, some groups were cooking, it looked happy.
It was a good atmosphere for people who love cars. In addition to cars, there were hundreds of motorcycles parked in a row. This was an amazing event for me, and I really enjoyed this day because I was excited to see and hear the sounds of those cars.
And this is my activity in the Hills Race 2024. It was a good and exciting experience for me. I hope everyone likes my post. Thank you for following. See you next time. Have a great time.
