BRESCIA (October 3, 2024) – Once again, the 1000 Miglia produces a surprise and for the 43rd edition of its re-enactment, draws inspiration from the most remote and fascinating pages of its history.

After the success of last year’s anti-clockwise route, for the 2025 edition, scheduled from Tuesday to Saturday, June 17 – 21, the Red Arrow will return to retrace the legendary pre-war races, running on a “figure eight” route like that of the first 12 editions of the 1000 Miglia speed race. The five-day race format is confirmed for the third consecutive year.

On Tuesday 17 June, the more than 400 cars admitted to the race will drive through Desenzano, Sirmione, Verona, Bovolone and Ferrara, before ending the day in San Lazzaro di Savena, in the metropolitan city of Bologna. On day two, the crews will tackle the Raticosa and Futa Passes, following in the footsteps of the drivers of the 1930s, when that stretch, one of the most demanding of the race, was tackled in the first part of the route. After passing through Prato and Siena, the cars will head towards Rome before heading north again.

After the turnaround in Rome, the Red Arrow will be in Orvieto, Foiano della Chiana, Arezzo and San Sepolcro; the return to San Marino will precede the arrival of the third leg in Cervia-Milano Marittima. On the fourth day, the most beautiful race in the world will cross the whole of Italy from East to West: having set off from Cervia, the 1000 Miglia 2025 will touch Forlì before cutting across the Apennines to Empoli, where the ascending route will cross the descent route taken two days earlier, towards Rome. Keeping westward, the Red Arrow will reach Pontedera and then the Tyrrhenian coast with the passage through the Italian Naval Academy in Livorno; the ascent will continue through Viareggio and the Cisa Pass to close the penultimate leg in Parma.

On the last day, the crews will end the race where it all began: after five days and just over 1000 Miles, the arrival parade will welcome the drivers, tired but happy, on the Viale Venezia ramp in Brescia.

Entries will open shortly.
