1000 Miglia 2024 at the start: route and stages of the Red Arrow

Not long to go until the start. From 11 to 15 June 2024, the roads of Italy will be tinged red and white with the typical flags of the 1000 Miglia. The cars will pass along the approximately 1,800 kilometres of the route from Brescia back to the Lombardy city via Genoa, Lucca, Rome and Bologna, among others.
A crew from Il Sole 24 Ore will also be at the start in Mercedes cars.

A new and much-criticised route is about to be staged for the 2024 edition of the event, which will start from Brescia on Tuesday 11 June and will pass through Bergamo, Novara and Vercelli before arriving in Turin for the first stage finish. On the second day, the convoy will begin its descent southwards, passing through the Langhe and through the centre of Acqui Terme before heading to Genoa, the first of the 1000 Miglia 2024, where the crews will stop for lunch. Continuing along the Tyrrhenian coast, the race will arrive in Viareggio.

The third stage will see the descent towards the capital: the race will turn inland via Lucca until the lunch break in Castiglione della Pescaia. In the afternoon the entry into Lazio with the passage through Marta, Viterbo and Ronciglione and the conclusion in Rome in Via Veneto. With the fourth stage the crews will climb up to Orvieto and then Solomeo, the venue for lunch. After the break it will be the turn of Siena and Prato and the Futa and Raticosa passes, which will precede the arrival in San Lazzaro di Savena (Bologna). On the final day of Saturday, 15 June, the route will touch Ferrara, Bovolone and VillaFranca, then Lake Garda with the Valtenesi and Salò to finish with the classic catwalk in Viale Venezia.

Born in 1927 as a speed race from the intuition of Giovanni Canestrini, Franco Mazzotti, Renzo Castagneto and Aymo Maggi, the 1000 Miglia is today the regularity race for historic cars that crosses the unique scenery of the most beautiful Italy. A journey through the warmth of the public and the enthusiasm of the participants, in the wake of the daring and innovative spirit of its origins. A week-long experience for unique pieces of art and design on the move, along the classic route from Brescia to Rome and back.Only cars of which at least one example has taken part in one of the editions of the 1000 Miglia from 1927 to 1957 and is registered in the Registro 1000 Miglia can take part in the event.

Renewed interest and participation of Il Sole 24 Ore for this prestigious event that brings together car enthusiasts and Italy in general from all over the world. We will be keeping a daily diary, recounting the landscapes we have crossed, the warmth of the public (which we are sure will be very large and of all ages) and the performance of the cars we will be driving along the route: the AMG A45 S and the AMG-GT. We look forward to seeing you at the start and at all the stages scheduled for the 2024 edition of the 1000 Miglia.
