Mille Miglia MILLE MIGLIA A UNIQUE EVENT For 30 years, Mille Miglia has been bringing together exeptional personalities to the world of sport. Today, the reenactment of the Mille Miglia is an event in a class of its own. Mille Miglia has combined tradition with innovation, and vividly coloured that combination with creativity, elegance, beautiful scenery and the Italian way of living. This plethora of rich elements has made the Mille Miglia a symbol of Italian excellence all over the world. Brescia's great passion for motor vehicles prompted them to set up their own Automobile Club in 1906. However, it remained under the wings of the Milan Automobile Club until 1926, when the official Brescia Automobile Club was established under the new rules of the Royal Automobile Club of Italy. These regulations were then officially instituted by the law-decree of November 14, 1926. This decree granted the establishment of the Brescia Automobile Club, as well as the Public Motor Vehicle Registry (PRA). On January 18, 1927, official offices opened on Corso Magenta, where the preparation activities for the first Mille Miglia Cup began to take place. From that day on, the name "Mille Miglia" along with "Red Arrow" trademark have remained the inalienable property of the Brescia Automobile Club. Since its inception, the Brescia Automobile Club has kept its tradition alive of being one of the most important worldwide associations for sports events. Some of the competitions organized by ACI Brescia included: "Circuito di Brescia", "Circuito di Garda", "Brescia-Edolo-Pontedilegno", "Colle S. Eusebio", "Trofeo Lumezzane" and "Cronoscalata del Monte Maddalena". The dedication and passion of the great Renzo Castagneto continues today. With this dedication and passion in mind, the Brescia Automobile Club is committed to its endeavor and could never veers off its path. Through dedication and diligent hard work, ACI Brescia maintains its unsurpassed wealth of talent and bravery that has written memorable moments in the pages of history. One of the ACI Brescia's roles is also to preserve Brescia's motor tradition and rich heritage in the world of sports, not only a cultural heritage but a human one as well, which encompasses all the races that that have taken place on Brescian territory from 1899 to today. EDITION 2015 As always, Mille Miglia 2015 designed the race along the magical scenery of Italian territory, going from Brescia to Rome and then back again. All the beautiful elements of this sport and what surrounds it will be combined with the history, nature and art of this beautiful country.

  • Giordano Lupini
    Giordano Lupini Fourth-generation racer Giordano Lupini is in his second year of main circuit racing in the Engen Volkswagen Cup following a successful learning year in the Bold Marine WP GTi Challenge, where he improved steadily since his first race at the tender age of 14 to win races toward the end of his rookie season. While his first races have proved technically challenging, Giordano quickly settled into the Polo Cup top 10, where he has qualified 9th for both the Killarney and Kyalami rounds Giordano was born into a racing family - his great-grandfather competed in the Mille Miglia in the late-1920s and grandpa was a contemporary of Basil van Rooyen, Arnold Chatz and Jan Hettema in the 1950s and '60s, while dad Michele has raced extensively on track and stages since the '80s and still races on occasion. Giordano started racing 60cc primary school Maxterino karts at the age of ten in 2011 and was soon winning at national level - most notably at a drenched Killarney in 2012. He moved up to Junior Max karts in 2013, where he enjoyed a competitive 2015 before becoming the youngest WP driver to ever race at Killarney at just 14 at the end of that year. Bridge House School Grade 11 scholar Giordano intends continuing in Class C of the GTi Challenge in 2017 while at the same time stepping up to national racing. Giordano hopes to win national championships in future and also to race overseas.

  • 1000 Miglia 2021 from Wednesday 16 to Saturday 19 June: the Comeback of the Red Arrow Race
    1000 MIGLIA 2021 FROM WEDNESDAY 16 TO SATURDAY 19 JUNE: THE COMEBACK OF THE RED ARROW RACE Brescia, 12th May 2021– The 39th edition of the 1000 Miglia was officially presented streaming from the Mille Miglia Museum today, on the day on which it was originally scheduled to start, before being postponed by five weeks as a precautionary measure. On Wednesday, 16 June, the 375 cars allowed to take part in the race, as well as some particularly prestigious examples on the Special List, will set off from the traditional Viale Venezia ramp in Brescia to return on Saturday, 19 June. The competition will see its turning point in Rome at the end of the second day and will cross, in its entire length, about two hundred municipalities. For the first time in the history of the commemorative 1000 Miglia, the competition will take place in the opposite direction of the recent editions, taking up the counter-clockwise direction of some editions of the original speed race, between 1927 and 1957. Crews are going to start on Wednesday, 16 from Brescia to head towards the Tyrrhenian coast and, already on their first day, will have to face the Cisa Pass before concluding the first leg in the evening in Viareggio. On the second day, the race will start from the Cittadella del Carnevale, continue towards Pisa up to Castiglione della Pescaia, where the crews will have lunch, and continue in the heart of the Maremma of Grosseto up to the dinner in Viterbo; from here the cars will leave for the capital to conclude the second day with the catwalk in Via Veneto.

  • Porsche Congratulates Motorsport Legend Hans Herrmann
    www.porscheroadandrace.com Porsche congratulates motorsport legend Hans Herrmann Published: 23rd February 2018 By: Glen Smale Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/porsche-congratulates-motorsport-legend-hans-herrmann/ www.porscheroadandrace.com Hans Herrmann at the Retro Classics in Stuttgart, Germany 2010 www.porscheroadandrace.com Hans Herrmann, one of the most successful and popular racing drivers to join the Porsche AG works team, celebrates his 90th birthday this year on February 23. The endurance and Monoposto specialist, born in Stuttgart in 1928, is regarded as one of the most reliable and consistent race drivers of all time. In the course of his motor sport career, Hans Herrmann won more than 80 overall and best in class victories, most of them for Porsche. www.porscheroadandrace.com Mille Miglia, 1954: Hans Herrmann and Herbert Linge after their victory www.porscheroadandrace.com The proverbial Hans im Glück (Hans in luck) at the wheel celebrated his greatest successes with sports cars from Zuffenhausen: in the Mille Miglia, the Targa Florio, the Carrera Panamericana and of course in Le Mans, with the first overall victory for Porsche in 1970, driving a 917. His career began appropriately, in 1952, in a private Porsche 356, in which he took part in hill climbs, rallies and reliability runs. The very next year, he came fifth in the Lyon-Charbonnières Rally together with Richard von Frankenberg in a Porsche 356. Thereupon Porsche’s racing manager at that time, Huschke von Hanstein, brought him into Porsche works team. In 1953, Herrmann made his debut in the 24 Hours of Le Mans where, together with co-pilot Helm Glöckler in a Porsche 550 Coupé, he secured a best in class victory in the category up to 1.5 litres capacity.
