Twelve top customising companies met up at the test circuit in Narḍ in southern Italy from 21st to 23rd October, with the ambitious objective of setting new speed records on the world's fastest track. The companies were invited to the event by the joint organisers Continental and the German magazine 'AutoBild sportscars'. However, the aim was not just to determine the maximum speed the super sports cars were able to achieve. The focus was also on the performance capabilities of the tyres supplied by Continental and approved for speeds of over 300 km/h (187 mph).
