This victory further solidifies the brand's enduring connection to the legendary 1000 Miglia race and its legacy of automotive excellence.
Triumph in the "Tribute Team" Category
The Alfa Romeo team emerged victorious in the "Tribute Team" category after a challenging four-day race covering approximately 1,000 kilometers. The winning car, a 1939 Alfa Romeo Freccia d'Oro 6C 2500 Sport driven by Umberto Galloni and Albert Wetz, crossed the finish line with a considerable lead, showcasing the performance and endurance of this classic Alfa Romeo model.
A Historic Connection
This victory echoes Alfa Romeo's success in the historical re-enactment of the 1000 Miglia held in Italy in June 2024.

These consecutive wins highlight the enduring legacy of Alfa Romeo's historic cars and their dominance in this iconic race.
The Unbreakable Bond Between Alfa Romeo and the 1000 Miglia
The 1000 Miglia, a legendary race that began in 1927, has a deep-rooted connection with Alfa Romeo. The brand's early success in the race, including a dominant performance in 1928 with a 6C 1500 Super Sport driven by Giuseppe Campari and Giulio Ramponi, cemented its place in 1000 Miglia history.
Alfa Romeo went on to achieve a remarkable 11 victories in the 1000 Miglia, including seven consecutive wins from 1932 to 1938 – a record that remains unbroken.
