7° RADUNO SUZUKI 4X4 CARRARA ITALY

Made this trip a few weeks back in an Ignis Allgrip but caught plenty of new Jimnys in action on this annual Suzuki Italy 4x4 event....

Departure from the UK via Eurotunnel...



…..and 900miles later in Carrara Italy







Event decals fitted above and a complimentary goodies bag....





And part the reason for the trip was to view/test drive the New Jimny seeing as the UK seems to have forgotten about its launch...









After a quick briefing we were then guided on to one of two routes for the day, one for Suzuki's with low range 4wd (Jimny/Grand Vitara/SJ) and a second suitable for the later AllGrip models (Vitara/S-Cross/Ignis)....









The following pictures do not give any idea as to how steep it was...





...but these pictures may help











Carrara is famous for it's marble and as part of the event we were able to drive into the impressive mine system...









....where lunch had been set up in style













Back outside it was then a dusty drive to the summit of the marble mine...











....where there was yet more food and drink and a chance to try the New Jimny off road























With the event finishing at 4pm we were then told we could freely explore the mine until 5pm (try that in the UK let alone without a hi vis vest and a hard hat?)









And finally Suzuki Italy's Video of the event...
