Glittering lights in bustling Dubai, dunes and rocks of silent charm at the gates of the desert, and the roar of the engines echoing in the Yas Marina Circuit: landscapes and strong sensations for four intense days accompanied the journey undertaken by the crews entered in the second edition of the 1000 Miglia Experience UAE.
It was particularly enchanting territorial, climatic and environmental contexts, unusual for typical Italian and European regularity races, that welcomed the more than 100 crews who, attracted by the fascination that the Red Arrow now exerts even outside our borders, tackled the more than 1,600 km of the route.
After a day of training on the rules and use of the instruments, the regularity trials distributed along the route rewarded veteran crews of the speciality, an example and term of comparison for the neophytes of timekeeping and pressure switches who gradually became enthusiasts of the sporting and competitive part of the event.
Victory went to the Italian crew Rifai-Mozzi (1955 Porsche 356 Speedster) ahead of Umberto Galloni from San Marino with Alice (1930 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Turismo) and Wetz-Drazdik (1957 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT) from Luxembourg. This was followed by participants from over 15 different countries, including the United States, England, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Turkey, Oman, and Lebanon, who had the opportunity to try their hand for the first time or perfect their performance in the sporting discipline.

No other manufacturer boasts such a tremendous victory tally at the Austin venue, which returns to the WEC calendar for the first time since 2020 when Aston Martin also recorded a double-class victory. Indeed, the British ultraluxury sportscar brand has achieved no less than nine GT class wins in the six events COTA has staged since the series was formed in 2012. That’s a 75% win ratio, and four of those triumphs were double-class victories.
