The start of the 36th commemoration of the 1000 Miglia took place on Wednesday, May 16 on the Viale Venezia in Brescia. The 450 crews registered in the 1000 Miglia 2018 came from 36 countries and represented 73 car manufacturers. As tradition requires, the race connects Brescia to Rome and back, in four stages via Cervia-Milano Marittima and Parma, this year covering 1743 km. Once again, the Ferrari Tribute to the 1000 Miglia took place prior to the official start of the race and included more than a hundred post-1957 models from the Dino 246 GT to the Ferrari 812 Superfast.

The Mille Miglia didn't end in 1957. Its organizers manfully put on events in 1958, 1959 and 1961, albeit with much less powerful cars and a different layout. GT Ferraris did take part, and did well, winning all three races.
We have that saga for you in two parts; last issue had 1958 and 1959, and 1961 is in this issue.
