The 1000 Miglia, the longest edition in its history, concluded with the completion of a challenging 2200-kilometer journey across Italy over five days. The participants faced persistent rain before reaching Rome, only to be greeted by scorching sun in Alessandria. They persevered through this demanding test, making stops in Cervia-Milano Marittima and then returning to the capital, before driving up to Parma and finally reaching the finish line in Milan. The race concluded with a Passage Control in Piazza Duomo and a grand arrival in City Life, marking the last night of the competition before the ultimate destination in Brescia.
Ultimately, the reigning champions emerged victorious, despite encountering a few setbacks during the first leg of the race. From the beginning of the second leg, they solidified their position as the team to beat, leaving their rivals to battle for second and third place on the podium. Andrea Vesco secured his fourth consecutive title out of a total of six, while Fabio Salvinelli matched Giuliano Canè's record with three victories to his name. “At the beginning there were challenges”, declared Vesco with the engines switched off, “then we performed consistently with a low number of penalties. Only when I took part with Dad had I achieved such a good result, I am very proud to have achieved this historic result”.
The 1000 Miglia Green was won by Paolo Piva and Matteo Ferraglio on Tesla Model Y ahead of Mirco Magni and Laura Confalonieri on Polestar 2 and Antonino Azzarello and Stefano Orlandini on Ford Mustang Mach-E.
Finally, Andrea Milesi and Giordano Mozzi won the Ferrari Tribute 1000 Miglia with an F8 Spider, second Fabrizio Macario and Giovanna Di Costanzo with a 2019 488 Pista. Third were Celestino and Antonio Sangiovanni in a 2021 Ferrari Roma.
