THIRD LEG OF THE 1000 MIGLIA WARM UP USA, THE FIFTH EDITION RETURNS TO PAY HOMAGE TO THE WHITE HOUSE

The last morning of the race went straight into action, 24 Time Trials prepared for the start of the day.

Busy morning for the cars: first the stretch of dirt road in the heart of the countryside leading to the village of Unison, famous for the battle of the same name during the American Civil War, then the Average Trial in Waterford before entering Maryland where, heading down towards the Capital along the banks of the river, the eighth and final Average Trial of the race was held.

Later in the morning the drivers and co-drivers reached the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, one of the most important clubs in the United States, host site of three US Open golf events and a PGA Championship. After the Passage Control and the final set of Time Trials, the crews arrived at the terrace for a lunch with a view as far as the eye can see of the prestigious green.

In the early afternoon, the cars headed towards the Italian Embassy in Washington DC, passing again, after the interruption of the last edition, through the capital’s symbolic places: the Washington Monument, the United States Capitol until the customary tribute to the White House. After entering Italian soil, the crews were welcomed by the Italian Ambassador Mariangela Zappia, before tackling the seventh and final sector of the race that ended near the new Town Hall of Middleburg.

Tonight the announcement of the winners and the prize-giving ceremony.
