The Festa Mille Miglia is an historic retrospective approved by FIVA and organised in Japan in the same spirit as the famous Italian road race. Through its official importer,Technoil Japan, Motul is an historic partner of this event which took place from 17 to 20 October for the 18th time. It's a very popular race crossing a 1,300 km loop starting and arriving in Harajuku. It brought together a wide variety of historic cars dating from 1919 to 1967, with therefore an even wider range than the models that took part in the 'original' Mille Miglia which stopped in 1957. Yet it's one of the oldest participants which won the race: the 1926 Bugatti Type 35 in the hands of Takemoto/Takemoto, ahead of the Fiat 1200 TV driven by Mozzi/Mozzi and the Fiat 508 S driven by Degawa/Onoera.
