1000 Miglia — Tappa di Sirmione

The 1000 Miglia on Lake Garda

The 1000 Miglia, defined as the most famous and important regularity race for vintage cars, makes a stop in Sirmione, in the province of Brescia, on the southern shore of Lake Garda. On June 9, 2026, the historic vehicles will cross the Sirmione peninsula, offering a spectacle that combines passion for vintage engines with the beauty of one of Italy's most beloved villages.

In Front of the Scaligero Castle

The most evocative moment of the stage is the passage in front of the Rocca Scaligera, the medieval castle that dominates the entrance to the historic center of Sirmione. It is precisely in front of the castle that the stamp control and the U-turn of the cars take place, in a scenic setting that provides the perfect backdrop for the prestigious automotive event. It is no coincidence that Sirmione was chosen for its beauty, capable of maximizing the charm of the race.

The Day's Program

The day begins in the afternoon with the Ferrari Tribute parade, around 2:30 PM, followed by the passage of the historic cars starting around 4:15 PM until the evening hours. The vehicles arrive from Desenzano del Garda via Brescia, cross the lakefront squares, and depart towards Peschiera del Garda, in a succession of four-wheeled jewels that make automotive history.

A History of Almost a Century

The 1000 Miglia was born in 1927 and represents one of the most iconic automotive competitions in the world. The modern re-enactment follows the spirit of the original race, bringing hundreds of crews through Italy. The Sirmione stage confirms the event's connection with Lake Garda and with the historical and landscape heritage of Lombardy.
