If you like the idea of a non-competitive eight-day classic journey through some of Europe’s most spectacular scenery, you need to check out the 2011 MSA Euroclassic – the route for which was recently announced.

The 1480-mile extravaganza between Troyes and Parma will be bursting with sight-seeing stop-offs, from St Moritz in the Swiss Alps to famous Italian icons like Verona, Venice, San Marino, Rome, Siena and Pisa. The route will also take in the Mille Miglia and Maranello Ferrari Museums, as well as enabling drivers to put their classics through their paces at the Anneau du Rhin, Autodromo d’Franciacorta, Adria, Autodromo Dell’Umbria Magione and Varano circuits.

The event is open to classics over twenty years of age, with an entry cost of £2250 per car (with a two-person crew) – or £2100 if booked before April 28, 2011. For full details, go online to www.msaeuroclassic.co.uk.
