The Coppa Milano-Sanremo Historical Reenactment is back, with about ninety vintage cars that, from today, Thursday, April 10, to Sunday, April 13, will compete along more than 1,000 kilometers, keeping alive the passion and spirit of the gentlemen drivers who conceived it in 1906.

The day’s program opened with the much-anticipated return to the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, where the usual technical and sporting scrutineering and free laps on the track were held from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., preceding the official start of the race with the first and demanding regularity trials, which got underway at 3:30 p.m.

A special moment was the debut of Marline Collectionbio-fuel at the Coppa Milano-Sanremo: to win the “Precision Driver” award, each participating crew received 10 liters of Marline Collection fuel by measuring their ability to complete two consecutive timed laps of the Autodromo track, trying to replicate to the tenth of a second their previous lap.

After finishing the specials at the Autodromo, the cars of the XVI Rievocazione headed for the first time to Lake Iseo, where anexclusive visit to the Riva di Sarnico shipyard, exceptionally open for the occasion, was planned.

The competition features some of the most prestigious names in historic motoring, including Mario Passanante and Alessandro Molgora, who challenge the course in a refined 1937 Lancia Aprilia, as well as Francesco and Giuseppe Di Pietra in a 1938 Fiat 508C. Andrea Zagato and Marella Rivolta are at the wheel of a stunning 1972 Lancia Fulvia Zagato Sport, adding a touch of authenticity and passion directly from the historic Zagato family.

There is no shortage of Andrea Vesco and Fabio Salvinelli, former winners of numerous regularity races, who will compete in a 1935 Fiat 508S. Making the Re-enactment even more exclusive is the presence of the prestigious 1928 Bugatti Type 40 Grand Sport and a rare 1927 Bugatti Type 37A , examples that embody the very essence of timeless elegance.

Tomorrow, Friday 11, the first race 2025 of the new ACI Historic Racing Weekend championship kicks off instead with free practice from 1:15 p.m. and qualifying at Berghe von Trips: Saturday and Sunday qualifying and racing with 200 cars divided into 6 categories (4 historic and 2 modern) starting at 8:30 a.m. Free admission.
