This is a video on Ferrari's website where I am interviewed about our experience in racing in the Mille Miglia. The video gives a good overview of our adventure!
What is the race about and our Goals
A rally race is about time, direction and endurance. Teams are judged on three criteria- location stamps, time trials and time controls.
1. Location Stamps:In order to complete the race each team must get the 24 location stamps in various cities throughout the route.
2. Time trials: There were approximately 30 time trials where you were measured foraccuracy between two short points ( .10-3km) drivers are penalized for each 1/100th of a second that they are off.
3. Time controls: There were time controls which was driving longer distances (1-5 hours) and arriving with in one minute of your scheduled arrival time. Easy only if you haul ass, don't get lost, don't hit major traffic, and have no car touble.
It it an endurance race because your are driving over 35 hours of driving in 3 days on an unknown roads driven at very high speeds(not shown in the video )on winding back roads with 3-6 hours of sleep each night.
