Some 420 classic cars participated in the famous tour de force and competed on the traditional Brescia-Rome-Brescia route, reliving the exciting historical re-enactment of the Freccia Rossa, which will take place from June 13 to 17,
This year the format went from four to five days and the usual 1,600 km increased to more than 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. .
Alfa Romeo
With unforgettable sunsets, extraordinarily beautiful architecture, torrential rain and scorching sun, nothing was missing in this adventure steeped in tradition which was won by an Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS of the Villa Trasqua team driven by Andrea Vesco and Fabio Salvinelli.
Three other splendid models from the Heritage collection, usually on display at the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, also made it to the finish line: the 1900 Sport Spider and the 2000 Sportiva, both from 1954, and the 1900 Super Sprint from 1956. .
These three jewels might count on the Stellantis Heritage team who, aboard the new Stelvio and Giulia “Quadrifoglio 100th anniversary”, not only provided the necessary technical assistance, but also created a fascinating “bridge” between the past and the future of the brand.
The driver’s seat of the Sport Spider 1900 was entrusted to Marius Pop, founder of the “Alfattitude” community, with Virgiliu Andone acting as co-driver. “Everyone told us that this race would be tough both mentally and physically, harder than any other we’ve competed in so far.
However, it is not a competition of people once morest cars, but rather a competition in which people must work in perfect harmony with the car in order to succeed.
60 years have passed since Juan Manuel Fangio’s first F1 World Championship, at the wheel of the Alfa Romeo Alfetta 159
The fact that this race is held amongst the stunning landscapes of Italy makes the whole experience even more surreal.
After successfully completing the 1000 Miglia while driving the wonderful Alfa Romeo 1900 Sport Spider, we came away as better Alfistas, better drivers and better human beings.”
The same excitement was shared by the 1900 Super Sprint team led by Lorenzo Quaglia, brand ambassador for the Italian fashion company and Velascó, and Giovanni Giuseppe Savini, a Tiktoker being known as @giogiusavini. The first stated: “In an increasingly frantic world that only thinks of moving forward, it was really exciting to go back in time for 5 days.”
This sentiment was shared by his teammate: “For me, the 1000 Miglia is an opportunity to experience timeless sensations, create memories, enjoy iconic landscapes and enjoy frenetic moments full of color and relaxing sunsets.
Thanks to Alfa Romeo I was able to experience five days in another year, a time when the sporty characteristics of an engine were aligned with an elegant design that was made to last.”
Finally, there was Tom Wlaschiha, star of “Game of Thrones” and “Stranger Things” and a big fan of Alfa Romeo, with the Sportiva 2000. The actor declared: “Driving in the Mille Miglia this year with the Alfa Sportiva 2000 was a one of the most beautiful and craziest experiences of my life.
Nothing compares to this mixture of adrenaline, breathtaking scenery and the excitement of the crowd that is found along the entire route.
His co-driver, Nina Maria Weizenecker, the famous automotive influencer known online as NinaCarMaria, stated:
“It was the best thing that has ever happened to me and it was possible thanks to this fantastic team. Can someone press ‘restart’?”
As proof of the strong and visceral connection between fans of historic motorsport and the Biscione, which has been a symbol of Italian motorsport since 1910, the three Alfa Romeo vehicles were warmly received by the public at every stage.
In addition, it was also the ideal occasion to celebrate, together with the Alfa Romeo tribe spread over the Bel Paese, the tenth anniversary of the Alfa Romeo 4C, the sixtieth anniversary of the Autodelta and the 100th anniversary of the Quadrifoglio emblem.
Ferrari also has its video tribute to the Mille Miglia 2023:
