This year Ducati was the featured marque and the theme was F1's and the derivitives from the F1 - Montjuich, Laguna Seca, Santamonica and the TT2 and TT1. The text is in Dutch but the photos speak for the depth and quality of the event and the Ducati display. 

The Ducati museum in Bologna was also present with a large tent where a dozen bikes in the race history of the brand were exhibited. All V-twins, starting with a replica of the 750 racer (#16) which Paul Smart in 1972 the 200 miles from Imola won. Next up was the winner of the 24 Hours of Montjuich of 1975 (# 9) with its narrowed lower crankcase for extra ground clearance, and equipped with lights for night stages. The list of racers was closed by a team of 750SS Spaggiari and an NCR endurance racer. On the other side of the tent stood the TT1 and TT2 F1 which Marco Lucchinelli won the Battle Of The Twins race at Daytona in 1986. The four models were represented by 888, 916 and 999

As he had done earlier in the season, the nine-time world champion in the world of two wheels will participate in a round of the Blancpain Endurance Series . And just like in Monza , even at Nurburgring the Pesaro native will be at the wheel of a Ferrari 458 GT3 managed by Kessel Racing , sharing the cockpit with the great friend Alessio "Uccio" Salucci . During the first appearance in the series, the two managed to qualify in the top ten, having to then settle for 18th place finish, the "Doctor" but you was the protagonist of a great comeback to overcome an accident triggered by the colleague. Moreover, after this first experience Valentino had already said quite clearly that he would not let slip any opportunity to return to the wheel of the 458 and then immediately accepted this new call.
