Milan, 28 May 2020 – Due to the impossibility of repositioning it within the ACI Sport calendar by the end of the year, the 12th Coppa Milano-Sanremo Historic Revival will be held from 25 to 27 March 2021. The new dates have been chosen in agreement with the local authorities, AC Milano and ACI Sport, so that the race can take place in the best possible way, keeping its unique tradition intact.

There will be no lack of competition and spectacle: the crews will be able to compete in a greater number of special average time trials, for a total of over ninety, in line with the current trend. An adventure over 700 kilometres long during which the “yesterday’s racing cars” will cross many cities of Lombardy, Piedmont and Liguria and landscapes of timeless charm.
