Mille Miglia - Arrival and prize-giving of the thirty-third edition
Happiness is the end goal of the Mille Miglia in the finish line in Viale Venezia in Brescia, after more than 1600 km of roads through city of art and natural beauty of the Italian landscape: a satisfied smile on the blackened face, by dust and sun, of the crew of 438 classic cars that took part in the thirty-third edition reminiscent of the Freccia Rossa was more eloquent than any comment. Many of them, after arrival, said they believed the 2015 edition to be one of the best in recent years. Once again, the Mille Miglia has outdone itself, with record numbers; Andrea Dalledonne, Managing Director of 1000 Miles Srl, explains: "There are over 2,000 people involved in the organization of the race, with 1,600 accredited media representatives from around the world, nearly 4,000 hotel rooms booked for the days race and more than 230 municipalities crossed." The 438 cars at the start – with an historical value, as much as an economic value, that is difficult to quantify - belonged to 61 different brands: the major role was played by Mercedes-Benz and Alfa Romeo with 38 cars each: Jaguar follow with 36, FIAT with 34, Porsche and Lancia with 30 and 22 cars. The race, started from Brescia, took place in four leg: the first, Thursday, May 14, arriving at Rimini and the second up to Rome. Saturday 16, from the capital, the race reached Parma and then, on Sunday morning, he returned to Brescia through the “Autodromo di Monza”. "The good weather, almost constant, helped the massive presence of the public, with peaks in Macerata, Teramo, Pisa, Lucca and Bergamo, as well as in the cities point of arrival of the legs, such as Parma who welcomed the Mille Miglia in a wonderful evening characterized by 'hospitality and gastronomy of Romagna, "explained the President 1000 Miles Srl, Valerio Marinelli. The rankings were determined by 84 time trials, 76 of which traditional and 8 with a determined average speed; like two years ago, the winners were the Argentines Juan Tonconogy and Guillermo Berisso, on Bugatti T 40 of 1927: "We are incredulous - stated on the stage of the Grand Theatre, where the awards were held - we would never imagined for a second statement in Italy, in the most important event for classic cars in the world.” The South American duo beat for few points the well known Brescia couple made by Andrea Vesco and Andrea Guerini, on FIAT 514 MM of 1930, disappointed not to be able to overturn the result to some inaccuracies in the latest tests in the “Autodromo di Monza”. In third place Ezio Martino Salviato and Caterina Moglia on Bugatti T 40, 1928. The complete results are published on www.1000miglia.it Marco Makaus, Managing Director 1000 Miles Srl, said: "The most exciting moment of the Mille Miglia 2015 was to see Stirling Moss retrace Viale Venezia on the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR, with which holds the record average of more than 157 km / h, obtained in the victorious year of 1955. To celebrate the victory in the Mille Miglia of 1955, Mercedes-Benz has launched an operation with “romantic traits”, leading to Brescia three "silver arrows", the 300 SLR that disputed the race that year. On board the car number 722, a number that indicates the time of departure, there was, of course the winner, of that edition, Stirling Moss, unfortunately not in the company of Denis Jenkinson, who died some years ago. On the 704, just as in 1955, there was Hans Herrmann, while behind the steering wheel of the 658, instead of the late Juan Manuel Fangio, sat Ralf Schumacher, Michael's brother. The three Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR did not take part in the race, also because the physical conditions of the two young men in 1955, Moss and Hermann, did not allow it. In each stage, the three cars have preceded those of the Mille Miglia, doing catwalk for the public. In order to make a contribution to an extraordinary event which is Expo Milano 2015, while avoiding to create blocks on the roads with their caravan of more than a thousand cars, the crews of the Freccia Rossa have made tribute by performing a control switch to Villa Reale in Monza that of Expo 2015 is representative office. To welcome the Mille Miglia was the Head of House Lombardy Region and the Expo 2015, Fabrizio Sala. After Villa Reale, the cars of the Mille Miglia went to the “Autodromo di Monza” to play the last test of the day. The passage in the circuit was achieved thanks to an agreement between the owners of these two icons of motor racing, the Automobile Club of Brescia and Milano. In the “Autodromo di Monza”, competitors have played some time trials and media, competing even on the "High Speed" track, recently restored: to the winners, Ezio Martino Salviato and Caterina Moglia on Bugatti T 40 1928, was awarded the Trophy of the Automobile Club of Milan, named after the great Alberto Ascari, that in Monza, died in May 1955, exactly sixty years ago. The second place went to Giovanni Moceri and Lucia Galliani on Chrysler 72 of 1927 and the third to Daniel Andre Erejomovich and Gustavo Llanos on Aston Martin Le Mans, 1933. At the Teatro Grande in Brescia the trophy was handed to the winners by the President of the Automobile Club di Milano, Ivan Capelli, former Formula 1 driver, and Vice-President Geronimo La Russa. Along with them were Ms. Corinna Ascari, daughter of Albert and Mrs. Veronica Ascari, nephew of the great pilot. The organizers, in addition to congratulations of the participants, received also those from the President of the Automobile Club of Brescia, owner since 1927 of the Mille Miglia. The lawyer Piergiorgio Vittorini said: "For me it was the first Mille Miglia followed along the entire route. Landscapes and places of extraordinary beauty, such as the village of Radicofani, where many fans crowded the steps of the magnificent Romanesque church. Beauty of art and architecture combined to the beauty of the participating cars. I was surprised and I appreciated the effectiveness of an organization as complex, made up of thousands of people, that has moved along the running for a trip along one thousand miles."
