  1. HOW DO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL CHECKS TAKE PLACE?

    ADMINISTRATIVE CHECKS

    Please remember to bring your driving licence, car insurance, a valid CSAI license, an equivalent international licence or a CSAI Card, valid for this event only. Drivers of accompanying cars or support cars will also need to show their valid driving licence.

    If the competitor is a natural person, and is not the driver, he/she must be present at the checks in order to present his/her international licence. If the competitor is a company or in any case a legal person, a representative of the latter must be present with an international competitor’s licence.

    Drivers, co-drivers, support crews and accompanying crews must carry out their checks at the desk (indicated as no.1) on the ground floor of the office block of the Mille Miglia Paddock. They must do this together. It is not possible for driver, co-driver, support crew and accompanying crew to register at different times. As well as a valid driving licence (also for drivers of accompanying and support cars), and insurance documents, you will be asked to show your international regularity licence. If you are not in possession of such a licence you can request a CSAI Card, valid for this rally only, in room 1a. At the desk where you register you will be given a magnetic card for any dinners or lunches you have booked, vouchers for hotels you have booked and for the car parks in Bologna, Rome and Brescia. Please remember that the crews of accompanying and support cars, irrespective of whether they have bought hospitality packages, must also present themselves at the desk (no.1) with a valid driving licence.

    On the second floor (no. 3) you will be given the Briefing by the Clerk of the Course, which you will have to sign for. This is already on the website and can be downloaded.

    Accompanying and support cars will receive the support car stickers that you have reserved, as well as the stickers for the parking areas in the Mille Miglia Paddock during the event.

    For those who don’t have a support car sticker, it will still be possible to buy one here (cost: €300) and parking stickers for transportation trucks and vehicles with or without trailers (cost: €car + trailer: €60, other: €180).

    TECHNICAL CHECKS

    Do not forget your FIVA Identity Card, FIA Heritage Certificates or fiche CSAI, and your car registration documents (originals).

    After the administrative checks, return to your car to put on your event numbers and licence plates, then make your way to the scrutineering. After the last check, you will be given a sticker saying “verificato” (checked).

    The Transponder is a very small device that transmits to the receiving timing station an information like “the car number x is passing through the time control right in this moment”. The 1000 Miglia blue transponder is a lightweight device, self powered, that will be fixed outside the car, on the right hand side, with just two short stripes of 3M DualLock™ tape. The unit will be preset by the timing marshals during the scrutineering, and the correct position will be located, within certain limits, together with the drivers.
