400 classic cars built between 1927 and 1957 will take part in the 38th hist. Mille Miglia will attempt to cover the distance of around 1000 miles. Cancellation due to the coronavirus is not an issue, according to the press conference on March 4, 2020.
The "race" starts on May 13 in Brescia, then the cars will drive along Lake Garda, then tour through Desenza and Sirmione, as well as through Villafranca di Verona, Mantova and Ravenna to Cervia/Milano Marittima.
On the second day, they will travel from Cesenatico to San Marino, Urbino, Fabriano, Macerata, Fermo, Ascoli Piceno and Amatrice (RI). From Rieti, the vehicles will then arrive in Rome, where they will be allowed to parade through the Via Vento.
The third day covers the longest route. The route passes through Ronciglione (VT), Viterbo, Radicofani (SI) and Castiglione d'Orcia (SI), followed by a stop at the magnificent Piazza al Campo in Siena. From there, the route continues over the Cisa Pass to Parma.
On the last day, the cars pass through Salsomaggiore Terme (PR), Castell'Arquato (PC), Milan, Cernusco sul Naviglio (MI) and Bergamo to Viale Venezia in Brescia, where it all began 93 years ago.
400 vehicles
The 400 teams come from 33 countries on all five continents. Most of the participants come from Italy, of course, followed by the Netherlands, Germany and Great Britain. Only a small proportion of the registrations could be considered, especially as fewer vehicles were accepted than last year for safety reasons.
Alfa Romeo is particularly celebrated in 2020, with the brand represented by 68 cars. It is followed by Fiat with 63 cars, Lancia with 49, Jaguar with 45, Porsche with 38, Mercedes-Benz and Austin-Healey with 27, Aston Martin with 26 and Ferrari and Bugatti with 20 racing cars each.
