Hodinkee Radio

Chopard's Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele and race car driver Jacky Ickx on more than 30 years of a legendary automotive event.--This episode of HODINKEE Radio was recorded in Italy shortly before the start of the 40th running of the Mille Miglia, a modern recreation of an incredible 1000-mile race from Brescia to Rome and back to Brescia. Said to be the most beautiful race in the world, it ran from 1927 to 1957 and was then restored in 1977 as a regularity rally that plays host exclusively to cars from the original period. As you can imagine, it's become a banner event in the vintage car scene and for this episode, I was joined by Karl-Freidrich Scheufele and Jacky Ickx to chat about the event, the cars, and how Chopard has played a long-standing role in supporting the race. Karl-Friedrich is Chopard's Co-President (along with being a vintage car collector) and Jacky Ickx is a famous race car driver who has won Le Mans six times, drove in Formula One for Ferrari in the early '70s, won at Dakar, etc. Th
