Rules
Four pushing men ("spingitori") and a pilot driving the car take part in both competitions. The pushing men take turns in pushing the car and the car becomes the witness of this very original relay race. The competition rules allow only one pushing man at a time and on downhill roads ("la bassa"), where the car runs faster than its pusher, the pusher gets in the car behind the driver. Then, he goes on pushing when the car speed reduces.
