1000 Miglia 2012

About the Event

The cars were very much the stars at the 2012 Mille Miglia Commemoration in May, the 30th such event to pay tribute to the original non-stop race on public roads from Brescia to Rome and back again from 1927-1957. For years the re-run was packed with the rich, famous, noble and beautiful, but this time they took a back seat. The Automobile Club of Brescia had bent over backwards to make sure the 382 examples of motor racing history in this year’s regularity race were worthy of their much coveted place.

They were selected strictly for their historic, sporting and technical characteristics and year of construction. Almost 60 of them actually competed in the original race and at least two won it.
