KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 (Bernama) -- The 43rd edition of the legendary 1000 Miglia concluded in Brescia, with Andrea Vesco and Fabio Salvinelli once again claiming victory.
Driving their iconic Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Ss, the reigning champions held off strong competition from Daniel Andres Erejomovich and Gustavo Llanos, who briefly took the lead on day four with their 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 Ss. Rounding out the podium were Tonconogy and Ruffini in a 1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gs.
Also taking top honours were Roland Hotz and Giordano Mozzi, winners of the Ferrari Tribute 1000 Miglia in an F8 Spider, while Mirco Magni and Federico Giavardi claimed victory in the 1000 Miglia Green category behind the wheel of a Polestar 4.
This year’s event was a special one, reviving the “figure-eight” route of the pre-war era—a symbolic loop connecting not only Italy’s North and South but also East and West, from the Adriatic Sea to the Tyrrhenian coast.
Over five days and 1,900 kilometres, more than 400 classic cars travelled through Italy’s hidden gems, such as art cities, countryside roads, and coastal stretches, according to a statement.
Starting in Brescia, the Red Arrow route led participants through Ferrara, Rome, Orvieto, Arezzo, Cervia, and Livorno before winding back through the Po Valley and returning home.
Each leg turned into a celebration, with cheering crowds, music, and picturesque backdrops—capturing the spirit of what many call “the most beautiful race in the world”.
