Von Schinkel and Caroline N. Koc, (based in Turkey) will be at the start of the event with an Alfa Romeo 1900 TI. This car competed in the Carrera Panamericana in 1954, with Bonini and Zanaboni.

The Italian crew, composed of Paolo Zanardi and David Tizzi, will drive an Alfa Romeo Spider Sebring.

On hand at all the events will be this Alfa Giulia Estate to serve as a support vehicle.

A team of mechanics at the wheel of an Alfa Giulia Wagon of 1972, fully restored to be a mobile workshop, will be on the scene to assist as necessary.
