Alfa Romeo Shines in the Chinese Edition of the 1000 Miglia

Alfa Romeo has won the first 1000 Miglia Experience in China.
A few days ago, after a grueling 4-day race about 1000 kilometers long, the “1000 Miglia Experience CHINA” ended, with the Alfa Romo team coming in victorious. As the “Tribute Team,” they crossed the final finish line first, with a considerable advantage.  The race winner was the Alfa Romeo Freccia d’Oro 6C 2500 Sport, driven by Umberto Galloni and Albert Wetz.

This victory follows the triumph of the Villa Trasqua team’s 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Super Sport, driven by the duo of Vesco and Salvinelli. In June 2024, the same drivers took the top step of the podium in the historical re-enactment held in Italy, once again reconfirming the undisputed dominance of Alfa Romeo’s historic gems in these events and paying homage to all the successes that have long linked the brand to the most iconic vintage car competition in the world. The “1000 Miglia.”

The unbreakable bond between Alfa Romeo and the 1000 Miglia
Between 1927 and 1957, the 1000 Miglia was a speed race, then from 1982 became a regularity race reserved for models that once ran in the earlier competitive events or were produced around the same time. At the second edition in 1928, Alfa Romeo won the individual and team rankings, with finishes for all its cars that started the race.

On April 1, 1928, Giuseppe Campari and Giulio Ramponi climbed to the top step of the podium with the 6C 1500 Super Sport, one of Vittorio Jano’s absolute masterpieces, which stood out for its revolutionary mechanical architecture, with a turbocharged fixed head.

The extraordinary car covered the 1,618 km of the track at an impressive average speed of 84 km/h, achieving the first of Alfa Romeo’s 11 successes, seven of which were consecutive from 1932 to 1938: a record that can never be beaten, establishing the unbreakable bond between Alfa Romeo and the 1000 Miglia, two Made in Italy brands that shine out on the world scene.
