Brand: Mercedes-Benz

For the 37th time, the historic Mille Miglia began in Brescia on May 15, 2019, sending 430 cars on a 1000-mile journey to Rome and back. The spectacle, which attracts thousands and thousands of spectators to the route and the towns it passes through every year, runs until May 18, 2019. Photographer Daniel Reinhard was on site at the start in Brescia and captured some special moments in an entertaining photo story.

What sweeps Italy's streets empty on the one hand, ...

What if the letterbox is overflowing ...

... and the delicious Alfa Romeo apples suddenly become sinfully expensive? ...

... Of course, it's the time of the Mille Miglia, which doesn't even let the chickens rest in peace.

Pubs without a view of the "Mille" remain empty, ...

... while other restaurants have far too few seats.

Nothing is impossible! In Italy, even the ground ...

... adapted to the respective year of the car.

With a perfect conversion table on the speedometer ...

... prevents expensive bills from Italy later on.

A valuable car with a cheap sticker enters ...

... against a modern "Art Car" from Stuttgart.

For once, the big rain stayed away from Brescia, ...

... but it was still far too cold for light clothing.

Then finally the program booklets are brought in, ...

... the picture is also almost finished, ...

... The beer in hand is also ready, so we can finally get started!

But while one of them quickly looks for his contact lenses, ...

... the other is still being pushed around ...

The others are already standing in the first traffic jam, looking for an escape route.

Design icon with extravagant fashion ...

The motto of this year's Mille Miglia seems to be "Always keep God in mind", ...

... so that no one is grabbed by the crocodile.

As soon as the race started, there was a lot of waving and shouting as usual, ...

... or they even made their presence felt in the livestream.

For once, the man in the "gilet jaune" gives all the cell phone photographers the signal to shoot.

In general, it would be interesting to know ...

... how many thousands of photos were taken on this one day alone in Brescia.

... most of the cars are sensational, so it doesn't matter ...

... if someone from Indianapolis happens to get lost in the starting field.

For once, the crowd did not make a pilgrimage to Rome, ...

. ...where the traditional road race ...

... close duels between two- and four-wheelers were on offer.

... we are still looking for a co-driver for 2020!"
