Description

The "1000 Millas Sport" is a prestigious vintage and sports car race that takes place in the Argentine region of Patagonia around San Carlos de Bariloche and has developed into one of the most significant events of its kind in Latin America. Inspired by the legendary Italian Mille Miglia, the event brings together historic sports cars of various brands and years in a fascinating combination of technology, elegance, and driving culture. Organized under the patronage of the Automóvil Club Argentino and its sports commission, it emphasizes precision, consistency, and reliability rather than pure speed – typical characteristics of a regularity rally. The route winds through some of the most spectacular landscapes of Patagonia, including the famous "Seven Lakes Route" and various Andean passes, with Bariloche and the iconic Llao Llao Hotel usually serving as the starting point. Each year, the region transforms into a rolling automobile museum, featuring brands such as Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, Mercedes, Porsche, and Volvo. The 1000 Millas Sport enjoys international recognition, is part of the official calendar of the Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens (FIVA), and combines motorsport with culture, tourism, and social engagement, such as through collaborations with foundations to support people with disabilities. Thus, it symbolizes the fusion of history, passion, and scenic beauty that captivates both drivers and spectators alike.
