After four days and about 1000 km, the Alfa Romeo of the San Marino-Luxembourg crew, the Buick SGM7250G of Zhanhe and Hongjiang Zhang and the Mini of Chen Kangwei and Xiao Shanming took the overall podium at the first 1000 Miglia Experience China. The 11 cities visited by the race welcomed the passage of the cars, divided into 6 different categories, from the historic 1000 Miglia Era to the more modern, with enthusiasm and curiosity.
After departing from Guangzhou, a metropolitan city with over 18 million inhabitants, the route wound its way through rural villages, countryside and forests of lush vegetation, mountains and rivers of southern China, offering crews the chance to come into contact with the many facets that only a great country like China can offer.
The opportunity to take part in Time Trials in territories that had never before hosted regularity events has undoubtedly satisfied the teams who, whether beginners or more experienced, did not fail to compete with great determination: the declared objective is to participate in future editions of the Most Beautiful Race In The World, after having had the opportunity to learn the rules (or improve their knowledge) and test them in the field.
“We have concluded this first edition of 1000 Miglia Experience China with great satisfaction,” commented Fulvio D'Alvia, CEO of 1000 Miglia. “The organisation of the FCCC, the support of the local authorities and institutions of Guangdong, the Classic Car Museums of Shanghai and Chengdu, the Italy-China Chamber of Commerce, and the Italo-China Institute have facilitated and supported the realisation of this event, which we are confident will offer many new features in the coming years and confirm it as a reference event for the area. Bringing Italian excellence to the world and touching the interest and enthusiasm for Made in Italy makes us really proud, and the warmth with which we have been welcomed in these territories is precious fuel for our engine."
The first classified crew also won acceptance to the 1000 Miglia 2025.
