The 2024 edition of the 1000 Miglia has officially begun. The Freccia Rossa started at 12.30 yesterday from the platform in Viale Venezia, also overcoming the adverse weather conditions that had arisen shortly before departure. As usual, the OM Time Control was held, always the first cars to leave, and so over 400 cars built between 1927 and 1957 paraded in front of a large audience that crowded along the sides of the route in the center of Brescia.
The comments of the participants
For 5 days the competing cars will speed along a route of over 2,200 kilometers to face 144 timed trials, 8 media trials, 30 stamp checks and 21 time checks. “The wait before the race is always unnerving – commented Andrea Vescochasing his fourth consecutive victory at the 1000 Miglia, from the cockpit ofAlfa Romeo 6C SS Spider Zagato from 1929 – Let’s hope it doesn’t continue to rain so we can put the top down, in any case once we set off I hope we’ll get into the race as well as always.”. Behind the Vesco-Salvinelli couple there will be Gianmario Fontanella and Anna Maria Covelli, second in the 2023 edition: “We are excited, as well as focused, despite the rain the atmosphere is beautiful. We hope for a great result.”
