The Red Arrow has also arrived in Austria<\/strong>: the 1000 Miglia Warm Up<\/a><\/strong> format, firmly established in the Washington D.C. area, with three precedents in Switzerland and one in the United Kingdom, is making its debut in the Salzburg<\/strong> and Tyrol<\/strong> regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parterre <\/em>of cars taking part includes twelve of the most illustrious names in motorsport, from 1929 models such as the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS Zagato<\/strong> and the Lancia Lambda Torpedo 218<\/strong>, to the 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS<\/strong>, the \u201cyoungest\u201d of the competing cars. Special mention for a 1958 Austin-Healey, <\/strong>a 1957 Triumph TR3 Sport<\/strong> and a Porsche 356.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 9 a.m. this morning, the 40 participating cars, <\/strong>including 10 Porsches competing for victory in the Porsche Challenge, <\/strong>set off towards the German town of Anger, stopping at the Hans-Peter Porsche Traumwerk Museum.<\/strong> They continued on to Lienz<\/strong>,in East Tyrol, and arrived in Mittersill<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday 29, the convoy will travel through the Salzkammergut<\/strong> region. After stopping on the lakeside promenade in St. Gilgen<\/strong>, the crews will return to Salzburg. Here the cars will drive through the old town, ending the race at Mozartplatz.<\/strong> This will be followed by a presentation of the cars at the sumptuous Residenzplatz<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first placed crew in the overall classification will be guaranteed admission to the 1000 Miglia 2025<\/strong> and will be honoured in the Red Bull Hangar-7<\/strong> at Salzburg Airport, where the winning cars will be exhibited alongside the collection of historic aircraft, racing cars and helicopters.<\/p>\n\n\n
