Millie Miglia Warm Up 18th-23rd October

[sf4018]

One of the drivers of an endurance team I run with recently did the Millie Miglia in Italy, which is a timed race (not fastest but closest to a set time) from Brescia to Rome and back again in old cars. I'd never heard of it before, but it looked like a hoot. I checked out their website and it looks like they have an event in the USA...

1000 Miglia Warm Up USA 2022 – 23-26 Ottobre 2019 – 1000 Miglia

The original Miglia is for cars built from 1927-57, but they have for the USA a group for post 1957 cars to present day. Class winners are eligible for the Italy event.

My 420R doesn't have any protection against the weather so it would be a terrible car to enter, but I'd be happy to navigate if somebody wants to enter!

That looks like a really interesting event. I would love to participate but will be in Europe. I will try to go downtown to see the finish.

A slight dampener might be the 15,000 entry fee.

The only element that gives me pause on the event as organized is the having to navigate DC traffic in a classic car.  How many would overheat in the bumper to bumper traffic.   The rest of the rally route looks quite good - done some of those roads a long time back in my Caterham.  

 

I should also stop myself and say the $15,000 entry fee does make me choke a little too.
