The 1000 Miglia Experience Florida brought the spirit of Italy’s legendary Mille Miglia—meaning “one thousand miles”—to American roads, blending competition heritage with a curated three-day rally across Florida.
Inspired by the original endurance race held from 1927 to 1957, the event honored long-distance discipline, mechanical reliability, and historic authenticity.
Held February 21–23, 2026, the route spanned the Gulf Coast, Central Florida, and South Florida. Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale was proud to support this celebration of automotive excellence.
To see how that legacy lives on today, explore our Ferrari models.
Every participating vehicle fields a two-person crew:
A pre-event training session is offered to familiarize participants with navigation and driving techniques — particularly valuable for first-time regularity rally competitors.
Unlike static concours events, this format emphasizes coordination, preparation, and mechanical dependability.
Participation reflects the international stature of the event. Requirements include:
While limited technical support is available during the rally, participants are encouraged to possess foundational mechanical familiarity — reinforcing the event’s endurance character.
Sebring’s inclusion provided rare track access at one of America’s most storied endurance circuits — reinforcing the rally’s authentic motorsport connection.
The rally concluded with formal prize recognition across multiple classifications.
As part of the rally’s South Florida leg, participating crews stopped at our newly opened Ferrari of Boca Raton service facility.
Drivers and navigators were welcomed with coffee and pastries before continuing the route—a reflection of Ferrari’s balance between performance and hospitality.
Guests toured the service center and experienced the technical environment behind Ferrari ownership, from factory-authorized diagnostics to preservation-focused service.
