Sulle strade della Mille Miglia 2023, edited by Attilio Facconi, tells us in pictures, made by the best photographers following the race, the entire course of the world's most important regularity race for classic cars.
With a plunge into the past, in this twelfth edition, we recount the fifth Mille Miglia, dated 1931, which inscribed Mercedes' victory in the Roll of Honor for the first time. In the first four competitions, Italian cars and drivers conquered victory and the podium, but the fifth edition broke the Italian dominance.
The powerful Stuttgart-based company participated in the previous year's race for cognitive purposes, witnessing the legendary victory of Tazio Nuvolari, which increased the fame and popularity of Alfa Romeo cars. This resonance convinces the Mercedes management to enter the race.
The historical insight into the 1931 race, documented well in this volume, highlights the German company's painstaking preparation to compete in the Brescian event. The race is fascinating and full of twists and turns. The white and powerful Mercedes SSKL, with Rudolf Caracciola and Wilhelm Sebastian, takes victory with a new average record.
Sulle strade della Mille Miglia 2023 - Mille Miglia on the road is an unmissable appointment for all enthusiasts and a wonderfully illustrated printed testimony, with more than six hundred photographs that make it possible to admire not only the cars, but also the immense architectural and artistic heritage of the cities crossed during the race.
