The Original 1927 Mille Miglia

The history of the Mille Miglia is actually a bit complicated. The original races only ran from 1927 to 1957, the event was then continued as a rally event from '58 to '61, wherein the drivers would stay under the speed limit save for a number of predetermined stretches, but this toned down version of race was discontinued as well. In 1977, the race was revived in the form of, essentially, a parade, as opposed to a fast paced competitive race, and finally, in 1982, the original Mille Miglia was resurrected as a full-tilt endurance race, with cars produced between 1927 and 1957 competing for glory.
