The car

Step by step10 steps
When Start now — allow 2–4 months Cost 2026 fees: Participant €900 + VAT; Eligible or Guest List €500 + VAT; then €200 + VAT a year
  1. Check the car is eligibleDownload the "List of eligible cars" from the entry page on 1000miglia.it, or check the Registro's eligible-car page. Your exact make and model must be on it — or the car must be pre-1958 and historically significant enough for the Guest List.
  2. Pick the certificate typeParticipant if this exact car (by chassis number) ran in a 1927–1957 Mille Miglia. Eligible if the model ran but not this car. Guest List for a pre-1958 car of historic interest that never ran. Participant needs proof of the car's period race history.
  3. Gather the documentsYou need: a chronological history of the car (every owner, restoration and race you can document), a valid FIVA Identity Card, an ACI Sport historic fiche, and the vehicle registration certificate. Scan everything to PDF.
  4. Take the photosDaylight, plain background: front, rear, both sides, three-quarter front and rear, engine bay, interior/dashboard, chassis plate and engine number. Keep the files large and sharp.
  5. Create your accountGo to the Registro personal area (login.registro1000miglia.it), register with your email, and confirm the account from the email they send.
  6. Fill in the car formEnter make, model, year, chassis and engine numbers exactly as on the registration document. Upload the history, photos and documents. Choose the certificate category.
  7. No ACI fiche yet? Ask for helpCars outside Italy rarely have an ACI Sport fiche. The Registro offers a fiche assistance service (2026: €200 + VAT) — tick it or ask them by email.
  8. Book the inspectionThe car is inspected for the FIVA card and the Registro homologation. Outside Italy this goes through your national FIVA authority; the Registro tells you the session dates once your file is complete.
  9. Pay and wait for the resultPay the certificate fee in the portal. When approved you receive the certificate, a Registro code and a radiator badge. The code is what you type into the race entry form.
  10. Enter the race even if it's still pendingFor 2027 you may enter with the application only started — but acceptance depends on the certificate being issued, so don't let it stall.

Tip Write down your Registro code the moment you get it — the entry form needs it typed with no spaces or dashes.

Step by step7 steps
When 4–10 weeks, including an inspection Cost Set by your national FIVA authority
  1. Find your national FIVA authorityFIVA cards are issued by the national authority (ANF) of the country where the car is registered. Look it up on fiva.org. If your country has no ANF, FIVA lets you apply online directly.
  2. Check the car qualifiesAt least 30 years old, kept in a historically correct state, and not used as daily transport.
  3. Prepare the fileRegistration document, proof of ownership, chassis and engine numbers, and a history of restorations or changes. Note anything non-original honestly — the inspector will find it.
  4. Photograph the carThe same set as for the Registro: all four sides, three-quarters, engine bay, interior, chassis plate and engine number.
  5. Submit the applicationUse your ANF's form (or applications.fiva.org) and pay its fee.
  6. Have the car inspectedA FIVA scrutineer checks it against the FIVA Technical Code. Have the car clean, and all documents and any period photos to hand.
  7. Receive the cardValid for up to 10 years. Keep the original with the car's documents and a scan in your workspace.

Tip Ask the Registro whether a FIA Historic Technical Passport or Heritage Certificate you already hold can be used — recent Regulations accept FIVA card and/or FIA papers.

Step by step5 steps
When 1–4 weeks
  1. Confirm current registrationThe car must be road-registered in your name (or the entrant's) with valid plates for the whole race. Check the expiry date of the registration.
  2. Check inspection rulesWhere your country or state requires a safety or emissions inspection, have a valid one. If none is required, get a written statement or printout showing that — the Regulations ask for the inspection or a "non-requirement" declaration.
  3. Lights, horn, indicatorsTechnical checks test road equipment: lights, horn and signalling. Make sure they all work.
  4. Carry a warning triangle and vestsRequired at technical checks — one triangle, a reflective vest for each crew member.
  5. Scan the documentsUpload the registration and inspection papers to your document tracker.
Step by step5 steps
When Ongoing — finish before you enter
  1. Build a timelineOne page per decade: owners, where the car lived, races, restorations. Dates and sources for each line.
  2. Collect period evidenceOriginal race entries, results, magazine articles, period photographs, factory build records, old registration documents.
  3. Ask the expertsMarque clubs, factory archives and the Registro's historical archive (included with the Participant certificate) can confirm details.
  4. Document the restorationPhotos before, during and after; invoices; what was kept original and what was replaced.
  5. Make one tidy PDFCover page with the car and chassis number, the timeline, then the evidence in date order. Upload it to the workspace.

Tip A clear story backed by evidence matters more than glossy restoration photos.

The crew

Step by step6 steps
When Before you submit the entry
  1. Decide the rolesThe first driver is the entrant on the form. Both crew can drive; only verified crew members may drive during the race.
  2. Pick the navigator carefullyRegularity is won in the passenger seat — timing calls, roadbook, tripmeter. Choose someone calm, precise and good with numbers.
  3. Check agesRecent Regulations allowed crew aged 14 to 85 on the race date. Under-30 pairs may qualify for a reduced Young entry.
  4. Check the paperwork both needEach crew member needs a competition licence, a medical certificate, a passport, and — for one at least — a valid driving licence.
  5. Collect their detailsFull name as on passport, date of birth, address, email, phone, licence numbers. You'll type these into the entry form.

  2. Option A — your own ASNIf you already hold or can get a licence from your country's ASN, ask that body for the authorization to compete in Italy for this event.
  3. Option B — the temporary Italian licenceIf you have no sporting licence, the organizer can arrange a temporary licence through the Automobile Club of Brescia. You sign a self-declaration that you hold no other licence, plus an authorization for 1000 Miglia Srl to request it.
  4. Do it for both crewDriver and navigator each need their own licence.
  5. Send copies on timeEmail scans to the organizer by the date they set (mid-April in recent years) and bring the originals to administrative checks.
