Mille Miglia 2015 Participants, Cars & Teams

Over 440 teams from over 40 countries take part in the Mille Miglia 2015 tribute. Eligible cars include only brands and models that took part during the original Mille Miglia between 1927 and 1957. Mercedes-Benz is the most dominant brand this year with over 70 Mercedes-Benz models taking part, most of them 300 SL models. For more information and all participant names and cars visit the Mille Miglia 2015 participant list.

Some of our highlights include the Bugatti Type 35B, Jaguar D-Type, Ferrari 340 America Berlinetta Vignale and of course the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR that is promised to make various guest appearances at several checkpoints with Sir Stirling Moss behind the wheel! Generally all major manufacturers are represented in this momentous event.

So far we have driven from Brescia to Rimini marking the end of Day 1; then from Rimini to Rome marking the end of Day 2 before proceeding to Parma – a city in Emilia-Romagna famous for its Cheese – where Day 3 came to an end. Today we shall drive back to where we started in Brescia, a shorter distance with the first car expected to arrive by 1 pm. The Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari Mille Miglia Tribute teams will probably arrive there earlier as they are not part of the actual race. On arrival, all shall proceed to lunch at the Museum of Santa Giulia before the final awarding ceremony which will be held at the Teatro Grande from 6:30 pm.

We have safely completed the 2015 edition of Mille Miglia, lots of new memories created after the 1000 plus miles that we covered during the four days. It was an honor meeting and witnessing some of the greatest motoring legends in action – some of whom we met for the first time.

Mille Miglia Day 4 Start

Good Morning and welcome to the final Live Blog of the Mille Miglia 2015. We crossed the Parma start line at about the given time, our first major stop will be at Monza in about 3 hours and 40 minutes. As we left Parma, we were waved by our first crowd of four- drunk teens who had just left the club! The weather looks good this Sunday morning as we drive towards Piacenza.
