Brescia is well known for its connections to motor sport; the famous Mille Miglia (1000 mile) road-race is held annually, starting from the centre of the historic city. Nearby, world-renowned engineering company Brembo S.p.A designs and makes braking systems for the world's most powerful cars and motor cycles.

For enthusiasts of two and four wheeled fun whose budgets won't quite allow them to race 1000 miles in a classic sports car, or invest in the latest, Brembo-shod Ferrari, there's a locally made alternative that promises just as much entertainment, but on a Lilliputian scale.
