| Mille Miglia
Storica 1999
-
  
Italy's most important and highly
traditional event for historic cars, the Mille
Miglia Storica, will again take place in mid-May;
to be more exact: between May 6 and 9, 1999.
Since 1977, this road-race for classic
automobiles from Brescia in northern Italy to
Rome and back to Brescia (via Siena and Florence)
has become a "must" for simply
everybody interested in old cars.
 
All the lucky enthusiasts who own
cars eligible for the "Mille" and who
wish to become one the about 370 entrants had to
send their applications for the participation to
the organizers until December 31, 1997. To be
eligible for the probably most famous, most
stylish and most hip European event for historic
cars, the cars have to have been built between
1927 and 1957; furthermore, the very vehicle or
at least an identical example should once have
participated in the original Mille Miglia in
these years.
  
Despite of these relatively strict
requirements, there are usually more than 900
applications and many enthusiasts receive
refusals because of the Mille's limitation to
about 370 entries. The definitive list of the
accepted participants will be published in early
March during the Geneva Motor Show. Ferraris are
always an important contingent in the field of
the participants - we will keep you informed...
  
 
Like in the previous years
a "sport driver license - minimum for
historic racing" is required for the pilot
and co-pilot. A temporary license an be acquired
for approx. $50+. - near to the check-in desk. To
ease the entire procedure passport pictures are
not required any longer.
The check in is in the same
place as technical inspection in the Piazza
Vittoria in the very center of the city
The start and finish will
be in the Viale Venezia in which all cars will
line up for the start. The start of the first car
is at 20.15. This year 370 cars will take part.
Will
be available after the Geneva car show.
