"Mille Miglia - The Spirit of a Legend": First Feature-Length Documentary About the World's Most Legendary Car Race Celebrates its Premiere in Italy

WIESBADEN, Germany and BRESCIA, Italy, May 14/PRNewswire/ -- The most legendary automotive sports event in the entire world fascinates not only vintage car enthusiasts, but also numerous lifestyle fans: the Mille Miglia, the historic car race with top-class participants from the aristocratic, industrial, financial and high-society circles. The 1000 mile circuit of the traditional route Brescia - Rome - Brescia celebrates its 80th anniversary this year. It first took place in 1927.

This jubilee inspired the Selkirk & Heimann Media Group to produce the first feature-length documentary about the race. "Mille Miglia - The Spirit of a Legend" will have its world premiere on May 15th in the northern Italian city of Brescia, two days before the start of this year's anniversary race.

The 28-person production team brought back 150 hours of footage taken at the Mille Miglia 2006. The film not only shows up-to-date images, but features also numerous historic film sequences since 1927. In addition, the eventful history of the most classic road race of all time is documented impressively in the interviews with race drivers such as Sir Stirling Moss ("A major operation. You covered a hell of a lot!"), Phil Hill, Jochen Mass, Jacky Ickx, Roger Penske, Count Giannino Marzotto and Prince Leopold of Bavaria.
