Fresh from its overseas events at Pebble Beach, where the Red Arrow took centre stage during Monterey Car Week with an exhibition space and meetings with enthusiasts, stakeholders and collectors, 1000 Miglia reaffirms its international reach in the final months of the year by presenting a packed calendar of licensed events.
Between September and December 2026, events in the most authentic spirit of the Red Arrow will showcase a passion for motoring, the precision of regularity racing and the excellence of Italian style in four unique locations: Austria, Greece, China and the United Arab Emirates.
These events will take the form of the now well-established Warm Up and Experience formats, designed to combine technical training in regularity driving, classic car collecting and the excellence of the motoring lifestyle. The Warm Up is specifically designed to improve sporting performance, with a limited number of participants, training days, practice sessions and a final race in true 1000 Miglia style. The Experience, however, is open to more crews, with a strong focus on and visibility for the territories involved, allowing local enthusiasts to learn and gain a deeper understanding of the rules that define the 1000 Miglia, whilst savouring its atmosphere in exclusive settings.
Upcoming events
1000 Miglia Warm Up Austria (10–13 September 2026)
The third edition of the Warm Up Austria will get underway on 10 September in Bad Gastein with technical checks, training sessions and the Trophy named after this picturesque village in the Salzburg region. The following day, the first leg will take the crews to Mittersill, with a stop at the town’s Stadtplatz, whilst the second leg will head for Salzburg, culminating in the closing evening and Prize-Giving Ceremony at the Red Bull Hangar-7 on Saturday 12 September. In between, kilometres of breathtaking roads nestled amongst the Austrian mountains and picture-postcard landscapes. Joining the classic cars will be the Challenge, an exclusive selection limited to a maximum of 20 supercars produced from 1996 to the present day.
1000 Miglia Experience Greece (29 September – 3 October 2026)
1000 Miglia Experience Greece returns for its second edition with a route that weaves together myth, history and beauty. The start in Athens, with the setting up of the paddock and technical checks, will mark the beginning of an extraordinary four-day journey through the timeless landscapes of the Peloponnese: from the capital to the majesty of Ancient Olympia, on to Kalamata and Mistra. The route will then continue towards the enchanting hills of Kollines before plunging into the calm, crystal-clear waters of Porto Heli, before returning to Athens via Nafplio.
There are four categories: the 1000 Miglia Eligible Class, reserved for cars (or models) that took part in the historic race between 1927 and 1957; the 1000 Miglia Historic Class, dedicated to ineligible cars produced before 1957; the Classic Icons Class, which brings together automotive icons produced between 1958 and 2000; and finally, the GT & Supercars Class, open to modern grand tourers and supercars produced from 2001 to the present day.
1000 Miglia Experience China (13–22 November 2026)
Now in its third edition, the 1000 Miglia Experience China transforms the allure of the Red Arrow into a cultural bridge between Italy and the East. The event will kick off in Guangzhou with five days entirely dedicated to the Elegance Show from 13 to 17 November: a grand open-air exhibition where the public can admire authentic masterpieces of engineering and design up close. Once the exhibition has ended, engines will be started for a 1,200-kilometre road adventure through the heart of Guangdong province. From the bustling cities of Foshan and Qingyuan, the route will wind its way up the roads through the fairytale landscapes of the Nankun and Luofu Mountains, before descending to Zengcheng and returning to Guangzhou.
A technical regularity challenge that combines racing, the local landscape and friendship. Beyond the sporting aspect, the event promotes cultural exchange, tourism and the strengthening of ties between China and Italy. In this regard, this role was recognised with the China-Italy Friendship Award, presented at the fifteenth edition of the Panda d’Oro Awards.
1000 Miglia Experience UAE (29 November – 3 December 2026)
To mark its fifth anniversary, 1000 Miglia Experience UAE returns as the most prestigious motoring event on the entire Arabian Peninsula. As the first event in the 1000 Miglia Experience series to be held abroad, the event celebrates five years of success by expanding its programme with an unforgettable Opening Weekend on 28 and 29 November at the Dubai International Financial Centre: a major festival and meeting point for participating crews and motoring clubs from across the region.
The official start of the race will be on 30 November, marking the beginning of a memorable journey that will take in all seven Emirates, featuring five breathtaking mountain passes and unique regularity challenges, such as the trials on the Tilal Swaihan drag strip. The route will take in the majesty of Jebel Hafeet in Abu Dhabi, the mountains of Hatta Fort, Jebel Yibir and Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah, before offering panoramic views of Khorfakkan and stopping off at the archaeological site of Mleiha, ahead of the final finish in Dubai on Thursday 3 December.
The statement
“The Red Arrow brand continues its global growth, driven by a commitment to safeguarding our heritage whilst, at the same time, promoting Italian excellence on a global scale — said Fulvio D’Alvia, CEO of 1000 Miglia Srl — International expansion remains a priority: the four autumn events across Europe, Asia and the Middle East demonstrate the strength and appeal of a constantly evolving model. While the 1000 Miglia remains a unique experience inextricably linked to Italy, the events held abroad allow us to take the brand’s history, culture and values beyond our borders. Our thanks go to our licence partners and local organisations, who share our vision and work alongside us with extraordinary dedication.”
