The defending champions once again proved to be a winning pair in the 1000 Miglia Warm Up USA 2024<\/a><\/strong>, putting their opponents in line in the three-day race in the Washington DC Area.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

En plein <\/em>for the U.S. team, who, in their 1931 Alfa 6C 1750 Zagato<\/strong>, also won the Middleburg Trophy<\/strong>, the 1 vs. 1 challenge<\/strong> held downtown: to the cheers and affection of the enthusiastic crowd, the crews responded with a hard-fought race and eliminations to the hundredth of a second<\/strong>, at the end of which Shawn and Leanne Till finished ahead of Cameron Luther and Anna Meldau in a 1955 Porsche 356 Pre-A Super Speed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six guarantees of acceptance to the 1000 Miglia 2025 were given to the best crews in the various classes: <\/strong>for the 1000 Miglia Era, Veteran category, in addition to Till-Till, Stephen and Kim Bruno (1955 Mercedes 300 SL<\/strong>) were awarded, while among the Novice the prize went to Paterniti-Wilson (1954 Jaguar XK 120<\/strong>) and Luther-Meldau (Porsche 356<\/strong>). For the Post 1000 Miglia Era Class, the prize went to Cereghini-Lersner, (2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo<\/strong>) among the Veterans and Robinson-Woodward (1967 Porsche 912<\/strong>) among the Novice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining a sports training part with intense sessions of Time Trials and Average Trials, spectacular natural scenery <\/strong>and five-star hospitality<\/strong>, the 1000 Miglia Warm Up USA remains a winning format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An unexpected Indian Summer<\/em> provided pleasant bright days and the late spring temperatures helped bring a large audience of onlookers and fans to the roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much appreciated were the night Time Trials <\/strong>at Atoka Chase and the 1vs1 challenge, as well as the tribute to the White House<\/strong>, Capitol Hill and National Mall before the stop at the Italian Embassy<\/strong>, where the participants met the Ambassador, Mariangela Zappia<\/strong>, in the front row to do the honors and welcome them on Italian soil in the heart of Washington DC.<\/p>\n\n\n
