To win the Targa Florio you need an extremely sensitive foot on the accelerator. Many drivers swear by the creations of shoemaker Francesco “Ciccio” Liberto, who has been making footwear for race-car drivers for more than fifty years. We drop in on the master—together with Gijs van Lennep, winner of the last great Targa Florio.

A Good Mixture

At Porsche, a team of tire specialists ensures that every new model gets exactly the tire it needs. And only that tire gets the N-specification quality rating.
