In a post on their Patreon a couple of weeks ago it was confirmed that the FIAT Lingotto rooftop track is coming to Ages of Speed. I won’t share any of the full resolution renders, though Patreon members got to see 24 of them.
The track, best known by many for featuring in The Italian Job, was a test track built on the roof of the Fiat factory in Turin. It’s now used for jogging, but the re-imagined version that will be in Ages of Speed will include a pit area, grandstands, and is sure to be a hit in period vehicles.
