A Legend Reimagined: The Exclusive Roarington 1000 Miglia Simulators

Roarington was founded on a bold ambition: to reimagine how automotive heritage can be experienced in the digital age. With a deep respect for motoring history and a passion for precision technology, Roarington has developed a platform where legendary cars, iconic races, and emotional driving stories are brought to life in ways never seen before. At the center of this vision is the Roarington simulator — a piece of high-end hardware crafted not for entertainment, but for tribute. It’s not a video game. Not a replica. But a realistic, emotionally charged instrument designed for those who live and breathe classic driving.

This idea came to its most exclusive expression during the 1000 Miglia 2025, when Roarington presented a limited run of just ten collector-grade driving simulators. They were offered exclusively to the officially registered participants of that year’s event, each uniquely customised and individually numbered. Each simulator is more than a machine. It represents a bespoke opportunity — an invitation to digitally recreate the very car one had driven in the 1000 Miglia. Roarington offered the possibility to scan each original vehicle in meticulous detail, transforming it into a certified digital twin. The vision behind this: to let owners relive their iconic 1000 Miglia driving experience in a virtual realm, complete with personalised livery and race number. The simulators are engineered to respond with uncanny realism — capturing the unique acceleration curves, handling dynamics, gear ratios, and weight balance of the original car. This concept, introduced during the 1000 Miglia, was met with genuine enthusiasm by participants and collectors alike — underscoring the growing desire to experience historic motoring through immersive, high-end simulation.

This unique offering debuted at the Brixia Forum in Brescia, during the official scrutineering days of the 1000 Miglia from 15 to 17 June 2025, allowing participants to preview the new 1000 Miglia Digital Experience. For the first time, they were invited to drive through a curated section of the race in the time trial and regularity racing modes, developed exclusively for this launch. This immersive programme allows drivers to experience the race in a way they never had before: as both history and challenge. With countdown timers, average speed zones and precision checkpoints, it wasn’t just about fast laps. It was about driving with rhythm, accuracy, and purpose — the very essence of what defines a gentleman driver. The 1000 Miglia Digital Experience, as Roarington describes it, is not just a game or a simulation — it is an invitation to "drive the legend".

The 1000 Miglia has long captured the imagination of car enthusiasts around the world — a race where history, elegance, and endurance meet on the open roads of Italy. For many, the dream of driving in this legendary event begins in childhood: the roar of vintage engines, the elegance of pre-war design, the romance of towns and landscapes rushing by in a blur of motion. To honour this spirit, the limited edition 1000 Miglia simulators were created — each a bespoke masterpiece, handcrafted to reflect the unique heritage of its owner’s car. Delivered with a serialised Certificate of Authenticity, every simulator stands as a tribute not only to the race, but to the personal story of the driver behind it. More than a collector’s item, it is an iconic souvenir: a tangible way to relive the magic of participating in the legendary 1000 Miglia — an experience that many dream of but only an exceptional few will ever have the privilege to experience firsthand.

This is a compelling example of how expertise, technology, and passion can come together to create meaningful experiences — offering new ways for individuals to engage with the many dimensions of the Roarington world. As Fritz Kaiser notes in the latest edition of The Key, Top of the Classic Car World, Roarington is not only the realisation of reality within a digital world, but also the possibility to time it to perfection. The 1000 Miglia simulator stands as a powerful symbol of this philosophy: a reincarnation of heritage, grounded in a legendary history and renewed with each passing year. It also reveals how Roarington’s vision can offer something rare in today’s world: experiences that are not only remarkable, but truly livable. Crafted with emotion, precision, and purpose, they become lasting memories — designed for those who expect more than just a product. For those who look beyond luxury — toward meaning, emotion, and lasting impact — Roarington defines what is possible.

The limited edition Roarington 1000 Miglia simulators were made in only ten numbered examples.
