Another refuel and another long wait for the beginning of a special stage through the hills near Urbino.
2019 Mille Miglia
First Section of Mille Miglia
Problem on first section of Mille Miglia, almost ran out of petrol, but the JSW team were quick to the rescue. Almost finished the 9 hour drive to Milan. Quite tired after the first day. A glass of wine and a nice dinner is what I need.
Final Day Before the Start of the Mille Miglia
Final day before the start of the Mille Miglia and Duncan has been working on the Road Books.
Final Scrutinising for Mille Miglia 2019
AC Bluebird going through final scrutinising for Mille Miglia. All ok, crew ok, we are ready to race!
Brescia, Waiting for Checking In Process
The AC Bluebird Team waiting for the organisers at Brescia for the start of the checking in process for the Mille Miglia. Duncan is hiding to avoid embarrassment. Today is a day of waiting around for things to happen.
Mille Miglia 2019 Route
Follow AC Bluebird as we race through Italy and aim to complete the Mille Miglia in four days. Regular updates and photographs will be shown on this map so you can see how the car is progressing.
Off to Warm, Sunny Italy
Today AC Bluebird was loaded onto a specialist car transporter and is now heading towards Europe. It will arrive in Brescia Monday morning.
Mille Miglia Team Get Together
The AC Bluebird Mille Miglia Team meet up at JSW to have a final run through before the car is despatched to Brescia. Duncan, Andy, Bob and myself ran through the checklist that included hammers, gloves, spare batteries, energy bars and even baby wipes. (We don’t want to get our hands dirty!)
Countdown to Mille Miglia Continues
Today AC Bluebird was allocated number 252. This hopefully means a sensible start and finish time on each race day.
Superbly Successful AC Ace Alongside Mille Miglia Wannabe
Mark Aldridge, who owns Ace 234, has competed and successfully finished the Mille Miglia twice. His outstanding achievement was the inspiration for Kevin Shilling to also attempt the 1000 mile challenge around Italy in AC Bluebird.
