While still in its infancy as an event, the second-ever Targa Florio certainly didn’t lack challenge. Run over three laps of the 92.5-mile circuit, competitors racked up 277 miles of running at the finish. If they made it there! Here is Maurice Fabry in his Itala, flying through the town of Petralia Sottana. He would go on to finish third.
