Mille Miglia or 1000 Miglia? It's a legitimate question to ask, almost a hundred years after the birth of that phenomenon of sporting passion, daring, and, at the same time, discovery of a country—Italy—full of wonders. The Red Arrows were born with the specific purpose of directing competitors in the right direction on state roads in a country unknown to almost everyone. Whether the Mille was written in letters or numbers was of little importance. What mattered was that it was red and visible. Year after year, however, that arrow took on an increasingly strong identity, so much so that it became the very symbol of the coveted race.
With the establishment in 2012 of the dedicated company that organizes this major annual reenactment event, the issue of the spelling was resolved: 1000 Miglia Srl chose the numbers with the right intention of making the message immediately understandable in any language: 1000 is a thousand everywhere. Participants come from all over the world, undaunted by the fear of losing the common thread that will bring them back to Brescia. But while many travel to Italy for the race, even more, thanks to Roarington and its simulators, can now experience the thrill of racing and navigating a series of time controls during a special stage, set against a Tuscan landscape. In addition to driving and adhering to the time limits, the race also features numerous special stages that feature, in sequence, interconnected stretches of road that must be traveled at different speeds, scrupulously adhering to the prescribed times. Complicating matters further is the prohibition on stopping in the last few dozen meters between the time control line and the race.
Roarington, with its simulation of this stretch of the route, not only offers the opportunity to test your ability to pass the various checkpoints with maximum precision against others, but also provides perfect training to become equally skilled in real life. With a real car and a real test.
With Roarington, the most beautiful race in the world has become a reality. Everywhere in the world.
