The 2016 Mille Miglia rally is over. The weather was not totally cooperative, but apparently it was bearable from the reports that I’ve seen and everyone had a great time. I have been particularly following the results of the North American entrants in the rally. It is very difficult to break into the top-tier in this event as it is dominated by very experienced Italian and Argentine teams. It would be nice to see North American teams finishing closer to the top in this event.
The top finishing North American entrant was Shawn Till, who was navigating for Oriol Villanova in a 1929 Chrysler 75. Their 48th Overall finishing position is very impressive.
The top all-North-American team was Richard Lisman/Clifton Fink in a 1929 Aston Martin Le Mans. They finished in 94th position Overall. Remember, there were over 400 cars entered into this event.
Car #55 The 1929 Aston Martin LeMans Was The Top All North American Team
There had been a very close competition between Car #55 and Car #196 the 1951 Ferrari 340 America of Rawlins/Helfrich, but Car #196 reportedly had an issue with Passage Control documentation which cost them a lot of points and the Lisman/Fink car was essentially unchallenged for the top American honors on the final day.
Another team that I was following was Car #247 of Kaleel/Cendron, a Boston area team in a 1952 SIATA, who were in their first rally. They finished mid-pack among the North American teams, which is very respectable for their first rally.
The final results for the North American teams in order are presented below.
