On June 17, the 43rd edition of the “1000 Miglia” will kick off from Brescia, to return there on June 21. In the famous words of Enzo Ferrari, the “most beautiful race in the world” will visit some of the most evocative locations in Italy. Like always part race and part adventure, this year’s 1000 Miglia will see more than 400 vintage cars from 29 countries taking part. In particular, this year’s route of about 1900 kilometers winds along a “figure-of-eight” inspired by that of the first 12 editions of the 1000 Miglia speed race.

President's Message
Alfisti,
Now in the mid-Winter month, the Club is continuing with a well-balanced and varied range of events organised by key members. These include Competition, Club Displays, Club Drives and social events.
This month's activities will begin with the AROCA SuperSprint at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit on Sunday 6th. Time permitting, there will be the usual lunch time Parade Laps for club members.
On Wednesday 9th we have our regular Club Night at the Veneto Club in Bulleen, starting at 8:00pm. We hope to have a guest speaker on the night too. So don't miss it.
Then at the end of the month, Bruno Colautti will be holding a Club Drive from Port Melbourne to the Farmers Arms Hotel in Beeac on Sunday 27th. This is one of the great drives that Bruno has organised previously, and I look forward to a great turnout.
Planning for the Alfa 10 Hour Relay at Winton over the weekend of 4th & 5th October has also commenced. This will be the 20th anniversary of the running of this event by AROCA!
We have also commenced planning for Festa Spettacolo 2025 (Saturday 15th & Sunday 16th November) comprising a Concorso, a Dinner and a Show & Shine. We look forward to a good turn out at this year's event from all AROCA members, both Victorian and interstate.
Looking back to the start of June, we held one of our popular weekend drives to Beechworth and Mitta Mitta returned via Mansfield. An enthusiastic group took advantage of good weather and scenic location for a Saturday tour down the Omeo Highway to the Dartmouth Dam and on to the Laurel Hotel in Mitta Mitta. On Sunday, the tour continued down the King Valley to the Delatite Winery and concluded at Mansfield.
At the end of the month, the 950 (Giulia) Register Captain, David Roberts, hosted a popular Sunday drive from La Manna in Essendon Fields to the Nagambie Brewery in Nagambie. With 24 cars and 40 people, this tour met all expectations with good road conditions, cold but sunny weather and great food.
Otherwise
Check the calendar on the Club's website for new and updated events. You will also find information on Club events on the Club's Facebook page, and in the Club's quarterly magazine Cross + Serpent.
Stay safe & well,
John Hanslow
