JD Classics launches film giving viewers a taste of ‘The Most Beautiful Race in the World’

JD Classics – one of the world’s leading classic car specialists – has launched its teaser Mille Miglia film, giving viewers a taste of ‘ The Most Beautiful Race in the World’. As a gold sponsor of the event, and with nine supported entries this year, JD Classics knows the Mille Miglia better than almost any other classic car specialist.

For this year’s gruelling 1000-mile rally, the JD Classics Competition Department prepared, rallied and supported two Jaguar XK120s, three XK140s, an Aston Martin DB2, an Alfa Romeo 1900, a Lincoln Capri and a Jaguar MkVII.

For months before the rally, JD Classics’ expert engineers and craftsmen were fettling and fine-tuning the cars, some of which were customer entries, some of which were JD Classics’ own. On the gruelling four-day event itself, each of the team’s entries has its own support vehicle on-hand to get competitors back on the road, should anything go wrong.

With driving stints as long as 15 hours at a time, taking in Italy’s most incredible roads from Brescia to Rome and back to Brescia, the Mille Miglia is both the most breath-taking and most demanding road rally in the world. Around 20 per cent of competitors don’t even make it to the finish line, such are the demands placed on both car and driver.

To experience a taste of the Mille Miglia with JD Classics, the team has produced a short film. You can watch a teaser here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdZQkVPBnFI
