1929 Mille Miglia

The Race & Results In Detail

The 1929 Mille Miglia Race

Results: 1929 Mille Miglia Results / Dates: April 13-14, 1929 / Winner: Campari – Ramponi / Winning Speed: 56.05 mph / Starters: 83 / Finishers: 40

It was 1929 and two races were already on the books. The number of entries suffered due the Monaco Grand Prix being run the same weekend yet still Campari returned to defend his title against the likes of Borzacchini, Brilli-Peri, Varzi and Nuvolari. Alfa Romeo brought a large contingent of cars, so large in fact that it comprised over a quarter of the entries. Ernesto Maserati drove for the family while Maggi and Mazzotti drove an O.M. as did Brivio, Arcangeli, a former top motorcyclist, and Tazio Nuvolari. Lancia continued to make an annual appearance but without the commitment to make a major assault it seemed to rely more and more on a gift win.
