Made to commemorate the yearly road race in Italy, the Mille Miglia. This race traces its roots back to 1927 when it was a competitive race for grand touring models. Since 1977, it was reborn as a regularity race for classic and vintage cars. Participation is limited to cars produced no later than 1957 which had attended (or were registered to) the original race. It's not an uncommon sight to see former Formula 1 and professional race car drivers competing with regular enthusiasts.
