The first winners of the 1000 Miglia Warm Up Austria<\/strong> were John and Chelly Houtkamp<\/strong>, who, competing in a 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C<\/strong>, were also guaranteed admission <\/strong>to the 1000 Miglia 2025<\/a><\/strong>. Two Italian crews were also on the podium: Massimiliano Mora and Osvaldo Bresciani in a 1952 Jaguar XK<\/strong> and Rudy Zucca and Giuseppe Ducoli in a 1950 Healey Silverstone<\/strong>. Finally, Cristian and Niccol\u00f2 Galvagni in a 911 Carrera from 2024<\/strong> won the Porsche Challenge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first leg on Friday 27 September proved particularly demanding not only for the drivers, but also for their cars. After a country passage just outside Salzburg, the crews were confronted with the high mountains of Carinthia<\/strong> and East Tyrol<\/strong>, where the weather conditions did not always assist them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passage along the Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse<\/strong> took them as high as 2 500 metres above sea level, rewarding the participants with the sight of a unique mountain landscape, made even more distinctive by a light snowfall. Many of them even took a moment to take photographs, despite the tight schedule of the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that this was the first edition, the event attracted interest from the public, who warmly welcomed the event, especially in Mittersill<\/strong>, where events were organised for the occasion, but young and old also waited for the cars at the leg in Zell am See<\/strong> and St. Gilgen<\/strong> on Lake Wolfgang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event ended with the prize-giving gala at the exclusive location of Hangar 7<\/strong> in Salzburg.<\/p>\n\n\n
