The unmissable Mille Miglia.

The #ferrari Tribute to Mille Miglia from 18 to 21 May, will follow the 35th edition of the annual classic race for vintage cars. As usual, the event will start and finish in Brescia with its turning point in Rome. The owners of Ferraris built before 1957 will take part in the regularity race. However, alongside them #ferrari Tribute customers will be invited to participate with their cars of all eras in a similar regularity race that will run on the same route. The customers will motor along scenic roads that have shaped the history of world motor #racing, paying homage to the exploits of drivers such as Clemente Biondetti, Giannino Marzotto, Luigi Villoresi, Eugenio Castellotti and Piero Taruffi. The race will pass through some real wonders, such as Lake Garda, along whose banks the competition kicks off. The first leg will take drivers from Desenzano to Padua, while the second stage will go from Ferrara to Rome where the caravan will arrive in the evening, allowing Maranello’s customers to enjoy the spectacle of the eternal city at sunset. On Saturday 20th the cars will head to Parma from where on Sunday they go to Brescia, where, as usual, the race will conclude with the award ceremony.
