Lingotto 2 - The court

Lingotto (that in English is 'bar' like a 'gold bar') is composed by two parallel buildings closed at both short sides and the track test run over the roof from one building to the other one curving over short sides. -- If you enlarge it you can see in the background Monviso top.

Il Lingotto è composto da due costruzioni parallele chiuse sui lati corti e la pista di prova corre lungo le costruzioni e curva sui lati corti. -- Se allargate l'immagine si può vedere sullo sfondo la cima del Monviso.

It's an amazing structure, Fabrizio.
Is it a dawn or dusk series that you are displaying?

The link to Lingetto on Wikipedia explains very well what it refers to.
