February 23rd to February 25th 2025
The legendary 1000 Miglia, acclaimed as “the most beautiful race in the world” by Enzo Ferrari, is set to make history this February with its inaugural Experience in Florida. To accommodate motorsport enthusiasts eager to partake in this unique celebration, the registration deadline has been extended to January 31, 2025.
The festivities will kick off on February 22 with a Training Day held at the elegant Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. The day begins with an exposition open to the public from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of the race. In the afternoon, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, spectators can witness technical trials at Matheson Hammock Park & Marina, further immersing themselves in the excitement of the event.
The race itself will unfold over three exhilarating days:
– February 23: The journey launches from Coral Gables, where participants will receive a stamp check at the Italian Consulate before heading through the breathtaking landscapes of the Everglades, Naples, and Venice, ultimately reaching Tampa’s Motor Enclave.
– February 24: The second leg will guide drivers through Central Florida, featuring iconic stops such as the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, before returning toward West Palm Beach.
– February 25: The grand finale will see the cars returning to Miami, passing through Worth Avenue in West Palm Beach and Boca Raton, culminating in a spectacular crossing of Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, followed by an award ceremony celebrating the day’s achievements.
This landmark event proudly collaborates with esteemed partners including the Italian Consulate in Miami, the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF), Automobil Club Italia (ACI), and ACI Storico. Adding to the excitement, one lucky participant gained entry through an auction held during the NIAF Gala in Washington, DC last October, highlighting the event’s commitment to fostering connections among motorsport lovers across the U.S.
