| “Tamburello, Rivazza, Acque Mineralli – Monza might be Italy’s widely held ‘Temple of Speed’, but it’s Imola that truly commands racing drivers’ respect. Nestled against a backdrop of gently rolling hills characteristic of the Emilia-Romagna region, the high-speed circuit has a palpable sense of yore, the kind you feel at Le Mans and Spa-Francorchamps, both awe-inspiring venues that are steeped in motorsport history. It just so happens that the car we’re shooting on the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari today requires its pilot to be equally on top of their game: the mighty Porsche 935 Kremer K3. With its ground-hugging aprons, vast rear wing and cartoonish overall proportions, the Porsche 935 is a car that you don’t need to fire up or drive to feel its tremendous power. Is there really a 930 Turbo lurking under there you continually ask yourself. Having dominated Group 5 sports-car racing both in Europe and America from 1976 to 1982, the turbocharged titan’s reputation truly precedes it.”
