1000 Miglia in 1938

• 

If we tell you these four names Franco Mazzotti, Aymo Maggi, Giovanni Canestrini and Renzo Castagneto. And give you these clues; open-road endurance/regularity race and Italy. You say…

1000 Miglia!

The first race started on the 26th of March 1927 – and the rest is history!

This week was supposed to be the 38th edition of the Mille Miglia, but because of the current pandemic also this event has been postponed. On the 22nd of October we hope to be able to behold the spectacle of the 400 cars at the start in Brescia.

For now, we have some wonderful shots of the famous race in Italy in 1938. The participants setting off, the thousands of spectators, the cars driving though the Alps and the finish. Clemente Biondetti and Aldo Stefani crossing the line first (after 11h 58m 29s) in their Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Spider MM Touring.
