On Saturday, Nov. 1, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza hosted the 36th edition of “6 Ruote di Speranza,” organized by the Monza section of the Uilmd (Italian Union Fighting Muscular Dystrophy): about 1,200 young people took part in the event, most of whom had the opportunity to sample a lap of the famous track that hosts the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix. At their disposal were 430 cars, 260 of them Grand Touring cars and 130 vintage cars. These were also joined by cars provided by the State Police, Carabinieri, Air Force, Guardia di Finanza, Fire Brigade and the Maltese Cross.

Among the proposed activities are simulators and two-seater karts.

There are two exhibitions: one on the 75 years of Formula 1 curated by journalist and writer Enrico Mapelli in collaboration with the City of Arcore and one on the 100 years of the Monza circuit set up by the Friends of the Autodrome.

The Moto Incontro Group, led by Walter Maggioni, donated 1,000 euros to Uilmd monzese.

The day was attended by the Monza City Council’s Councillor for Sport, Viviana Guidetti.

Meals to participants were provided by the Civil Defense nucleus of the Monza Section of the National Alpini Association. Notes played by the Alpini Fanfare of Asso (Como) accompanied the day.
