The 430 classic cars of the Red Arrow will arrive in Ferrara in the evening. The first Leg finish line in San Lazzaro di\u00a0Savena<\/h2>\n\n\n

The forty-third re-enactment edition of the 1000 Miglia <\/strong>has finally got underway. After the classic parade on the Viale Venezia <\/strong>ramp, packed for the occasion with citizens, tourists, enthusiasts and interested onlookers, all enraptured by the ageless fascination of the 430 four-wheel jewels <\/strong>that this year will cover 1900 kilometres from Brescia to Rome and back<\/strong>, the crews headed straight for the ascent to the Brescia Castle <\/strong>for the first Time Trials <\/strong>of this edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was followed by the customary Passage Control with the Village Parade <\/strong>in Piazza Vittoria<\/strong>, the crews\u2019 final farewell to the City of the 1000 Miglia, <\/em>with a promise to return on Saturday 21, the day the crews will arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoing the 1000 Miglia in a Bugatti like this is really exciting, it is like going back in time\u201d, <\/em>said Carlo Cracco <\/strong>a few moments before the start from the cockpit of the 1927 Bugatti T 40 <\/strong>in which he will race alongside Ezio Ronzoni. \u201cAt the same time, however, you really enjoy the race, so long live the 1000 Miglia!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These, instead, were the warm words of reigning champion Andrea Vesco<\/strong>, in the hunt for his fifth consecutive victory with Fabio Salvinelli <\/strong>at his side on board the 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS<\/strong>: \u201cThe sensations are positive, the day is beautiful, I was hoping that yesterday\u2019s rain would cool things down a bit more but we are prepared, we will still remain fresh and focused\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crossing the eastern province of Brescia, the convoy headed for Valsabbia for a Passage Control in the centre of Villanuova sul Clisi<\/strong>. The crews then reached the shores of Lake Garda<\/strong>, passing through the villages of the lush Valtenesi<\/strong> area: first Manerba<\/strong>, with a drive along the Olivari lakeside road, with views of Isola dei Conigli, then Moniga<\/strong>, Soiano<\/strong> and Padenghe<\/strong>. Once they reached the Cesare Battisti lakeside road in Desenzano<\/strong>, where the 123 modern Ferraris<\/strong> of the Tribute 1000 Miglia<\/strong> had previously departed, the participants stopped for the third Passage Control of the 1000 Miglia 2025, before completing a series of six Time Trials in Colombare di Sirmione. After stamping their cards in Piazzale Porto, in front of the impressive Castello Scaligero<\/strong>, the convoy headed for Peschiera.<\/p>\n\n\n
