Like Guanajuato, another entity that was excluded was Zacatecas, with everything and its spectacular stretch that runs through the Cerro de La Bufa.


Almost from its beginnings, back in the 1950s, “La Pana” was always linked to Guanajuato lands, even in 1953, the municipality of Silao witnessed the tragic accident that cost the life of the Italian pilot Felice Bonetto. his Lancia crashing into a wall. Currently, in Silao there is a recreational plaza that bears the name of who was also a member of Formula 1 with the Alfa Romeo and Maserati teams, this between 1950 and the year of his death.

It should be noted that the “guanajuas” roads became the favorites of the crews, not only because of their complexity or the high speeds that are reached there but also because of the fascinating panoramas in the areas of Santa Rosa, Los Quiotes, and La Valenciana, in addition to the massive reception on the outskirts of the Juárez Theater.
