The Fast Lane Club are major sponsors of the famous Italian Race, offering guaranteed entry and support packages for the event. The 1000 Miglia organisation have given them special permission to introduce a taste of the Regulatory Race as part of the Driving Tour this year.
This years Tour will include a couple of “Time Trial” tests in the route (on private land). These sections are a series of timing points a few hundred metres apart with a set time to complete each section, it is not about speed and how fast you can cover each section though, it is all about accuracy.
There will be two official 1000 Miglia “SPIRIT OF 1000 MIGLIA“awards:
1. For classic cars built in 1957 or before in keeping with the traditions of the race.
2. Post 1000 Miglia, for cars built after 1957, of any age
It should be a huge amount of fun. But don’t worry, taking part in the trials is not compulsory and there will be some simple training and tips if you’ve never done a Time Trial test before, all you need is a stop watch.
THE DRIVING TOUR PACKAGES
There are two Driving Tour Packages on offer. Places are very limited, restricted to 20 cars for the Tour, there are just a few places left.
