The Most Beautiful Race In The World

ALFA ROMEO RUNS THE 1000 MIGLIA

- 

The Mille Miglia, which translates as Thousand Miles, was an open-road, motorsport endurance race which ran from 1927 to 1957. This extraordinary race has represented the expression of the bold, innovative and pioneering spirit of automotive adventurers.

Since 1977, the Mille Miglia has been reborn as a race for classic and vintage cars, with the Brescia-Rome round trip still very much similar to that of the original race, maintaining the point of departure and arrival in Viale Venezia in Brescia, as per tradition.

420 classic cars, including 48 Alfa Romeo models, took part in the famous tour de force and competed on the traditional Brescia-Roma-Brescia route. This year the format moved from four to five days and the usual 1,6000 km increased to over 2,000, making it the longest edition in the history of the "most beautiful race in the world", as the legendary Enzo Ferrari described it.

With this year's historical reenactment at what is now known as the 1000 Miglia, three special Alfa Romeo classic cars presents a moving portrait of the race with the Giulia 100th Anniversary edition and Stelvio by their side.
