The festivities marking the __90th anniversary__ of the __National Automobile Museum in Turin__, a majestic structure that houses a collection of unique richness and originality, offered the visiting public genuine moments of genuine amusement. When two skilled and amiable drivers, Andrea Montermini and Davide Valsecchi - both of whom have also raced in Formula 1 with __Ferrari__ and __Lotus__, took the wheel of the iconic __Fiat__, which back in 1954, had daringly experimented with a Turbine engine without the aid of wings or downforce, they faced the exhilarating challenge of trying to tame it, seated behind the wheel of the __Roarington simulators__ that are part of the museum exhibition celebrating the anniversary.

Driving the __Alfa Romeo Disco Volante__ is easier, but no less exciting. These were cars that epitomized futuristic vision even in the past. This concept of looking ahead was echoed and underlined in the speech given by __Fritz Kaiser__, the visionary behind Roarington, and Benedetto Camerana, President of __MAUTO__ in the Museum's Auditorium, and attended by authorities and the media.
