Mille Miglia 2026 - Full Support Package and Guaranteed Entry
We have partnered again with The Fast Lane Club to offer a full support package and guaranteed entry for the Mille Miglia 2026. This spectacular 5-day race is taking place between the 14th and 22nd of June, covering approximately 1180 miles across Italy.
The Mille Miglia 1000-mile race originally ran between 1927 and 1957, with 24 races taking place during this time. The route has changed and evolved over the years, but it 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. Alfa Romeo held the most victories with 11 wins. However, 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. Beating the Ferrari driven by Umberto Maglioli by 45 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 safely. The race itself is 5 days long. Some wonderful open roads and spectacular views, broken up with typically 5 or 6 average speed tests & time trials each day.
We are offering a full support package for the race and guaranteed entry. We will take care of everything so you can have the experience of a lifetime. We will arrange transportation for your car to Italy and back, along with vehicle preparation for scrutineering and support with the administration checks. You will have our well-experienced team at P&K Thornton as a dedicated technical support crew throughout the race, who will also keep you supplied with food and drinks. Your vehicle would be checked over and serviced each evening and warmed up and ready to go each morning. Customer support staff will take your bags each day of the race, sort out check-in at hotels in advance and have your bags in your room waiting for you. Additionally, this package will support you in gaining appropriate FIVA entry accreditation & acceptance onto the Registro if required, along with recovery support in worst-case scenarios of your car back to Brescia. In addition, we can organise driver and navigator training if required.
Additionally, the package also includes 8 nights’ accommodation in 5* hotels pre & post-race (with 4* hotels during the race itself) with breakfast, lunch and evening meals included for 2 people (based on 2 people sharing a twin or double room). There will be a welcome reception and meal at the 5* Villa del Sogno overlooking Lake Garda, and you will receive a route book, 1000 Miglia decals & a goodie bag. You will also have a pre-race briefing to go through the route books and race itinerary. Additionally, you will receive team race wear, including a fresh polo shirt for each day, a jacket and a baseball cap. The package includes a final night celebration for the full team with our own special rewards. In addition, we will support you with the Pre 1000 Miglia event administration for the vehicle and competing driver and co-driver, along with admission to the paddock and a temporary Italian race license. We can also support and advise with finding an eligible car if required.
Additional options include a Chophard Mille Miglia watch at £6,600 (subject to availability) and a single room Gold Package at £6,500 (TBC). Also, if you have family or friends who would like to join any part of the event, whether it be pre-race in Brescia, during the race itself or after the race, please talk to us and we will be happy to help.
We are a team of hard-working classic car restoration specialists who will work incredibly hard to ensure you get to the finish line and collect your medal. This is an incredible experience with a lot on offer for you to enjoy. We have had a lot of positive feedback from our clients about this support package. One of our clients said, “We have had the most brilliant time, and we could not have done this without the incredible support of the fast lane team.” Another client who participated in the Miglia 1000 this year said they had “An experience of a lifetime. Thank you guys for making a dream come true.”
The Mille Miglia is incredibly tough on the cars, which typically vary between 100 to 65 years old (at best). It is very important that the team that prepares your car also support your car during the race. We have previous experience providing technical support for the famous Austin Healey 100s - EVV106 at the 2025 Mille Miglia. 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.
Although our package covers a lot, in particular the technical and administrative support, including accommodation, race entry, vehicle transport, race logistics, technical support, and so much more. However, some of the items not included in this package are…
· Your car – eligible cars must be pre-1957. If you need to find a car, we can help with sourcing the right car for you and offer guidance on selection.

· Pre-race preparation of your car
· Parts – outside of normal consumables, any specific parts required for the running, maintenance and servicing of your vehicle during the race
