This race is a good opportunity to learn some historical facts.
Citta di Aria is based on a real location : the town of Assisi, Italy, homeland of St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan Order. A legend says that he tamed a wolf which was raiding the village of Gubbio, a few miles north of Assisi. And as you already know, the italian word for wolf is lupo.
With its short wheelbase and 200hp, driving our Lupo will be pretty challenging through the narrow roads of Assisi. So we will in a certain way try to tame il Lupo again.
... I know : dumb frenchman !

👍 After I'm done with Week 51 (soon) I'll get started on this car...
That first downhill section is not the kinda place for using big jerky steering inputs.
