On the occasion of the Italian National Day, organized by the Consulate General of Italy in Miami for the Republic Day, the Biltmore Hotel Country Club in Coral Gables hosted the presentation of the future programs of the 1000 Miglia: Warm UP USA from 22 to 27 October and Experience Florida from 22 to 25 February 2025. The event was attended by Consul General Michele Mistò. The 1000 Miglia Warm UP USA, an event that is currently in its fifth edition and is located in Middleburg, Virginia, will provide a limited number of crews with the opportunity to prepare in the most effective manner possible for the race that takes place in Italy. The event will traverse the hills and vines of Virginia and West Virginia, the exclusivity of the Congressional Country Club in Maryland, the Summit Point circuit, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and Shenandoah National Park before reaching the Italian soil of the Italian Embassy in downtown Washington, D.C. The 1,000 Miglia Experience Florida, on the other hand, is in its inaugural year. It will begin in Miami and travel through the Everglades National Park and the Big Cypress Nature Reserve to Naples, before heading north through Sanibel Island, Fort Myers, Venice, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, and Tampa to Brooksville, Orlando, and Cape Canaveral. Continuing south to West Palm Beach on the iconic A1A, the finish line in Miami promises to be memorable, with one of the city's iconic landmarks greeting the finishers. Both events will admit two classes of cars: 1000 Miglia Era (built between 1927 and 1957) and Post 1000 Miglia Era (built after 1958). According to entry regulations, the first two in each category are eligible for eight guarantees of acceptance to the 1000 Miglia 2025 at the Warm Up USA. The acceptance guarantees for the Experience winners will be 1,000 miles in 2026.
