Mille Miglia

Just a short detour from F1. The Mille Miglia is one of the predecessors of the F1 World Championships. It was held yearly between 1927 and 1957, on a thousand-mile stretch of public roads in Italy, between Rome and Brescia. Many later F1 drivers were racing in it, including Fangio, Ascari and Stirling Moss. These days it is held as an oldtimer show. The following images show how it looks today.
