Mille Miglia race in South Africa
« on: 22 July 2009, 11:26 AM »

The Mille Miglia event is going to be held in South Africa next year.

The route will be from Cape Town via the garden route to Johannesburg, roughly the route I took a few months ago in the 6.9.

Imagine that - flat out for 1600km? Now that's a real race. Sadly the 6.9 is too new to enter.....

A real race indeed.

That'll put any car to the test.

The MB club was hoping to arrange that, but it looks as if the costs will be too high. It will only happen if the factory gets behind it.
