1000 Miglia Experience China debuts starting from Guangzhou

1000 Miglia is ready for its debut in China: in a few hours, the start of the first edition of the 1000 Miglia Experience China, the Red Arrow event under licence to the Federation Classic Car China. Which in the next few days will bring the 1000 Miglia Style to the province of Guandong, in southern China.

 

The exhibition in Guangzohu’s Tianhui Plaza of the 65 cars entered in the race gave an unprecedented preview to the public that crosses this central point of the city every day: the cars were divided into 6 different categories, from the design masterpieces eligible for the World's Most Beautiful Race of the 1000 Miglia Era Class (1927-1957) to those of the Post 1000 Miglia Era (which includes vehicles built after 1958).

 

Technical and administrative checks were held today, a prelude to the race that will start tomorrow: 1200 kilometres in 4 legs, passing through 11 cities. In Yangjiang, Zhuhai and Shenzhen the leg finishes, then the return to Guangzohu for the final finish late Sunday afternoon.

 

“Let us remember that, as President Mattarella said on his recent trip to China, the relationship between Italy and China has ancient roots, has developed over the last few decades, and continues to grow in a positive, constructive, collaborative manner,” comments Fulvio D'Alvia, CEO of 1000 Miglia. “This debut allows us to bring the 1000 Miglia to a totally new market. The 1000 Miglia is a cultural as well as a sporting operation. Narrating and bringing to life the spirit of our race, taking these cars, unique objects of design and technology, on the road in a fascinating and unknown context, represents an important opportunity for development for our brand and, for the Chinese fans, the chance to come into direct contact with what is universally known as the most important regularity race for historic cars in the world.”

 

The route will cross the territories of southern China, giving the numerous foreign crews (coming from China, Europe, Hong Kong and Macau) an immersion in the local culture encountering its customs and traditions.

 

The winning crew, in addition to winning the historical record in the debut edition of the Chinese event of the Red Arrow, will also be guaranteed admission to the 1000 Miglia 2025.
