98 years of 1000 Miglia

One Saturday ninety-eight years ago, at 8:00 in the morning, the legend of the 1000 Miglia was born. It was 26 March 1927 and the roar of the Isotta Fraschini driven by Aymo Maggi and Bindo Maserati had just signalled the start of the first edition of what would soon be known by all as the most beautiful race in the world.

Today, ninety-eight years later, we celebrate almost a century of the Red Arrow, which from the beginning has not only been the symbol of a race, but of an Italian legend, an expression of audacity, innovation and pioneering spirit.

Over time, the legend has evolved, giving rise to new events that preserve its legacy and amplify its charm, both in Italy and abroad. It is the story of a part of Italy that embodies craftsmanship, innovation and tradition.

In 2024, fourteen 1000 Miglia events were organised in Italy and around the world, involving more than 900 cars along 20,000 kilometres of routes, with the participation of almost 1000 crews from over 40 countries.

The story continues… in the meantime, 98 times congratulations, 1000 Miglia!
