apriliadriver should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
MM

John,
I bow to your superior whatsit ... and I never did the MM in the 90s, but me and a mate, (both moderate, cautious, elderly racing characters) did it in 2008 in an Alfa, and we ran so many red lights on the wrong side of the road (mainly courtesy those Italian motor-cycle police escorts exclusive to the MM) and so consistently murdered the speed limits that I had some difficulty adjusting to real-life on my return to the UK.

It is well worth a try just once and as JR says the drive on the last day from Rome to Brescia through Tuscany on local roads is just sort of magical.
