COURMAYEUR, Italy, May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Great Alpine Journey of the Coppa delle Alpi of the 1000 Miglia 2024 has ended. At the end of this Grand Tour of 1,600 kilometers along the Alpine ridge, which has crossed the 7 countries of the macro-region, in which the 30 participating crews have challenged each other in 90 time trials and 18 medium tests, the time has come to recap .
The morning began at 9.30 with the awards ceremony: the winners were Stefano Ginesi and Susanna Rohr in a Fiat 508 S Balilla from 1934; Second place went to the Belgian team Decremer-Mertens with their 1951 Aston Martin Db2 and third to Carrara and Consoli with a 1953 Jaguar XK 120 Ots. The Final Conference then took place, which gave an idea of the thematic itinerary of the conference, during which a team of experts chosen by 1000 Miglia, who traveled in 8 historic cars following the convoy, met with institutions and representatives of local best practices. Alberto Piantoni, CEO of 1000 Miglia Srl, presented the project as follows: "Taking classic cars to the Alps to talk about sustainability seemed crazy at first glance. But the audacity of the 1000 Miglia today is no longer about speed, but of audacity of thought: with this project we wanted to create a network between Alpine communities, which have a reserve of important values that we wanted to narrate with the help of these cars, masterpieces of technique and design. The cities responded with enthusiasm and. "even the doors of its pedestrian centers were opened." The numerous guests on stage discussed in depth two macro-areas: "The traces of place awareness and good practices on the Alpine platform", followed by "The scenarios and major challenges of the Alpine platform".
This edition of the Coppa delle Alpi will remain unique and in 2025 the race will once again be held in winter. The Think Tank part will take an independent route, aware of what this journey has left behind. Landscapes, voices, values, the awareness of an urgent change enclosed in an image that has been imprinted in the eyes of the participants: that of the mer de glace of the Montenvers Refuge or, better, what remains of it.
