The 1000 Miglia Experience Greece 2026 took a turn of events that not even the most imaginative screenwriter could have predicted, which came to a close on Saturday, October 3, with the final day of action and a glittering awards ceremony at Astir Marina in Vouliagmeni.
After nearly 1,200 kilometers, first place in the penalties classification came down to… the age of the vehicle, as John and Chelly Houtcamp in an Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 and Gianluigi and Federico Smussi in an MG TF 115 had exactly the same penalty points—469 each! Thus, the Dutch crew took first place, as their Alfa Romeo is from 1929, while the Italians’ MG was built in 2004. In third place on the list of drivers with the fewest penalty points were Fabrizio Macario and Giovanna Di Costanzo in a 2022 Ferrari 296 GTB.

John and Chelly Houtcamp, driving a 1927 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750, had the fewest penalty points in the “Historic Cars” class, followed by Giustino De Sanctis and Claudia Morbiducci in a 1954 Porsche 356 Speedster, with Umberto Galloni and Albert Wetz—also in a 1927 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750—rounding out the top three.
