Modern Mille Miglia
The Mille Miglia is well known for being a road race for classic cars. However, would it be the same if instead of classic cars, it was a 'race' with modern cars. Sure, it would be fun and comfortable to drive round the course in a BMW 5-series, or a Porsche Cayenne, but what if you did it in a Ford Fiesta or a Kia Rio?
Would it be the same, or would it become just like any other drive? Its an interesting thing to think about which goes to the core of the attraction of the race.
