We did it! Mille Miglia 2025 completed!

Our team at P&K Thornton Racing has recently completed technical support for the famous Austin Healey 100s - EVV106 at the 2025 Mille Miglia in Italy. We partnered with The Fast Lane Club to offer a full support package and guaranteed entry to the 1180-mile race. The event took place between the 14th and 21st of June 2025, with the evening stops taking place in Bologna, Rome, Milano Marittima and Parma.

The Mille Miglia 1000-mile race originally ran between 1927 and 1957. The route has changed and evolved over the years but always began in Brescia to Rome and back and was nicknamed “the most beautiful race in the world.” The first 1000 Miglia was won by OM (Officine Meccaniche) in a time of 21:04. Although, the well-known British motor racing pair, Stirling Moss and Dennis Jenkinson, achieved a record-breaking time for the race when they won in 1955. Driving at an average speed of 98 mph and a top speed of 180 mph in places, setting a record time of 10 hours and 7 minutes.

In 1977, the race was altered to a regularity rally and formally became known as the 1000 Miglia and has continued to the present day, still taking place along the same public roads as the original race routes. Towns and Villages are usually closed to public traffic so the thousands of spectators can watch in safely.

We were the technical support team for an Austin Healey 100s, which has an outstanding record as a club-racing contender over a seven-year period between 1955 and 1962. Only approximately 50 were ever produced by the Donald Healey Motor Company and EVV106 is only 1 of 4 Austin Healey’s delivered to the UK for competition purposes. This classic car is highly collectable and valuable, and it is a pleasure to provide technical support for this race car at the Mille Miglia. Although the technical support came with challenges, such as temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius, long days and servicing on the side of the road, we still managed to cross the finish line on day 5. It was a pleasure supporting the Austin Healey 100s at the Mille Miglia this year and we are looking forward to providing technical support for many more classic cars in the future.
