a dream, an idea, a great project and all in four<br />
simple words: the burma road Classic which<br />
is taking place this 27th october in the heart of<br />
burma, or rather the rally raid for vintage motorcars<br />
built before and after the great war (but no<br />
later than 1970). a dream, as i was saying, because<br />
of the passion for vintage cars and travels which<br />
bring together the two organisers of this singular<br />
race. burma - a former english colony and a military<br />
regime since 1988 – is re-opening to the west.<br />
an idea because, choosing the most suitable<br />
route of more than 1100 kilometres in total for the<br />
raid took more than two years of planning, tests<br />
and an infinite number of visits by technicians<br />
and specialised logistics staff. a great project in<br />
wich the departure planned for the 27th october<br />
this year from the city of yangon with the cars returning<br />
- after 16 days racing - on the 10th of november,<br />
is requiring an enormous mobilisation of<br />
human and economic resources and will be one<br />
of the most ambitious international projects of recent<br />
years in the context of the United republic<br />
