Forza Mille Miglia

For over 70 years the month of May has been synonymous with two of the most historic and challenging motor races the world has ever known – the Indianapolis 500 and the Mille Miglia. Both events are steeped in history – having seen some of the world’s greatest drivers and finest cars compete in their respective spring classics. Similarly, both events have come to encompass the very racing soul of their respective countries. In the case of the Mille Miglia, from 1927 to 1956, all of Italy would come to a grinding halt for a day, as drivers such as Fangio, Moss, Nuvolari, Ascari, Biondetti and Varzi, would storm the 1000 miles from Brescia to Rome and back to Brescia. To win the Mille Miglia was to become an international star – and an Italian hero.

And so with all this history, tradition and national pride in mind, we consider it a true honor that the organizers of the Mille Miglia Storica named the Vintage Racecar Journal, “Historic Racing Magazine of the Mille Miglia.” High praise from such a revered institution.
