from 18 to 23 October in and around Middleburg, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
Established in 1927 as a speed race, the 1000 Miglia is today a regularity race for historic cars that passes through the unique landscapes of the most beautiful parts of Italy.
A journey characterized by the warmth of the public and the enthusiasm of drivers, following the bold and innovative spirit of its tradition: four days of racing for masterpieces of art and design in motion, along the classic route from Brescia to Rome and back.
The 1000 Miglia Warm Up is a format designed to better prepare foreign crews to face the sporting part of the Race that takes place in Italy: training days, tests and a final race in perfect 1000 Miglia style. Events reserved for a small number of participants, where the secrets of regularity races can be learned and deepened, in extraordinary contexts and with exclusive services.
1000 Miglia Warm Up USA 2022 will take place in and around Middleburg, Virginia and Washington, D.C. from 18 to 23 October: after a first day - spent on the Summit Point circuit - dedicated to training on the techniques that characterize regularity races, three racing days will follow with the second edition of the CoppaUSA, a competition of over 500 miles in true 1000 Miglia style, will get underway, finishing at the Embassy of Italy in Washington, D.C.
Sports cars, Grand Touring and Super cars built from 1927 to the present, divided between 1000 Miglia Era Car Class (from 1927 to 1957) and Post-1000 Miglia Era Car Class (from 1958 to Present) will be admitted to the race.
The overall winner of the third edition of the 1000 Miglia Warm Up USA 2022 will receive the CoppaUSA. Chopard, World Sponsor and Official Timekeeper, will award the winning crew with a couple of exclusive watches.

EMBASSY OF ITALY IN WASHINGTON, D.C. - ARRIVAL ON ITALIAN SOIL
Built in 2000, the building stands in one of Washington's most important urban areas, the socalled Embassy Row, where many other foreign embassies and diplomatic residences are located.
The design is inspired by the floor plan of Washington, created in the late 18th century: in fact, the building's quadrangular plan reflects the original 100-squaremile plan that was envisioned for the U.S. capital, and just as the Potomac River divided the original area of the District of Columbia between Virginia and Maryland, the Italian Chancery is crossed by a diagonal gap that divides it into two equal parts.
PARTNER
Together with Chopard, the Embassy of Italy, VredesteinTyres, the Town of Middleburg, Salamander Resort & Spa and Creighton Farms will support the event.
