The Duke of Richmond has today formally opened the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed and launched Airspeeder – the thrilling airborne motorsport for a new generation of race fans – by dropping the flag on the world’s first full-size quadcopter racing event.
The Mille Miglia starts in Brescia in the north of Italy, descends down the east coast to Rome over two days, and then ends with a single day dash from Rome back up to Brescia on the west coast. It is a magnificent cortege of the greatest racing cars and classic road cars ever built. To enter, the cars must have either been in the original Mille Miglia, or a car of sporting history listed in Palmares Winner’s Lists of international significance. This is about as exclusive as it gets even before the costs of the race and the cars come into it.
