Carmel, California, August 20, 2019 – The 1000 Miglia srl launched the “Spirit of 1000 Miglia” awards during the Monterey Car Week in California. The awards were presented throughout the week to owners of the types of cars that took part in the original race from 1927 to 1957 and exemplify the racing “Spirt of 1000 Miglia.” Each of the beautiful medallions is numbered and registered in the 1000 Miglia archives along with important details of the vehicle.
Alberto Piantoni, CEO of the 1000 Miglia srl commented, “The awards are a great way for us to celebrate with owners the unique cars of the 1000 Miglia when and where we see them – whether on the street, in the paddock or on the show field. We look forward to continuing the awards program at many other events we attend around the world. The 2019 Monterey Car Week was a truly fantastic start with first thirteen vehicles we selected.”

The crews crossed the south-western province of Brescia, reaching first the centre of Pontoglio and then Palazzolo sull`Oglio, where the Passage Control was repeated after the success of 2024. 📌
Adro and Erbusco enriched the last kilometres of the race, passing through their respective historic centres. In Adro, the “travelling museum” passed in front of the Church of San Rocco, while in Erbusco, the Consorzio Franciacorta 🍾, partner of the 1000 Miglia 2025, welcomed the cars before the last few kilometres to the finish line.
After the splendid views of Franciacorta 🌿, the convoy made a further passage control in Piazza Libertà in Travagliato, decorated with flowers and classic cars from the surrounding areas. 🚘
The passage through Gussago marked the last Passage Control of the race, in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, in front of the town church. After about 1900 km, the final finish line: Brescia 😍, where the usual passage on the platform in Viale Venezia celebrated the end of the 43rd edition of the 1000 Miglia. 🏁

The race is approaching the finish line, and the last leg of the 1000 Miglia 2025 has begun.
After the Time Control for the restart from Parma 🕒, the crews set off again towards Brescia, crossing countryside and charming villages 🏘️
Along Strada Castellina – surrounded by fields and marked by well-worn asphalt – the crews tackled the penultimate series of Time Trials, before continuing towards Roncole Verdi, the birthplace of Giuseppe Verdi 🎼, and then Busseto, for a Passage Control in front of the statue of the Maestro, followed by an evocative passage under the clock tower of the town hall 🕰️
After four years, the convoy returned to Cremona: it crossed the Po River on the famous bridge and entered the heart of the city for a Passage Control in Piazza del Comune, under the imposing gaze of the Duomo.
The race then reached Soncino and Orzinuovi, two new additions to this year`s route: in Soncino, within the walls of the Rocca Sforzesca and along Viale delle Rimembranze, the last Time Trials took place; in Orzinuovi, the 1000 Miglia made its first stop with a Time Control in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele 📍

🚗 Leg 4 of the 1000 Miglia 2025: approximately 500 km to go to Parma.
A key day that saw the most beautiful race in the world cross Italy from east to west, intersecting with the route of the second leg and tracing the “figure eight” route that characterises this edition.
📍 First stop in Forlì, with Passage Control in Piazza Aurelio Saffi, the historic heart of the city.
🛣️ The convoy then continued south on the SP125, a quiet country road chosen for the 10 Time Trials in Lardiano. From there, it headed towards the Apennines to tackle the ups and downs of the Casentino Forest National Park—a territory that the Red Arrow had never crossed before.
⛰️ With the Average Trial at Passo della Calla, in the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines, the crews left Emilia-Romagna and headed for Tuscany.
