Following the tradition at the 1000 miles of Czechoslovakia

• 

Letter to the editor

1000 miles of Czechoslovakia was a race organized by the Autoclub of Czechoslovakia in years 1933, 1934 and 1935. Its route started in the capital Praha and went through Brno to Bratislava and back. To meet the proposed length of 1000 miles the drivers had to drive the route twice. The race was listed for standard production cars, but in reality many of the cars were modified. The record average speed of 103,6 km/h was reached by the 1935 winner J. Knapp in a 3-liter Walter Standard S.

The 1934 race was for various reasons the last one in the pre-war era, but the tradition was resurrected in 1970 by the Veteran Car Club of Praha who organized races from 1970 to 1977, in 2007, 2010 and again from 2013 to day. The contemporary races follow the same route as the prewar ones, but the route is driven only once and is divided to two days with a third day added between them for an uphill race at Pezinska Baba near Bratislava. This part is organized by Design Veteran Car Club of Bratislava.
