For organizational reasons, a maximum limit of 100 participating cars has been established.

Registrations will be accepted until September 28, 2026. Selection criteria will prioritize cars homologated on the ACA’s “Historic Sports Cars” list; within this group, priority will be given to older vehicles and/or those deemed of special historical interest by the organizing committee, whose decision is final. Cars listed as “conditional” are considered to hold less special historical interest. The organizer may limit the number of cars per category, following the criteria outlined in the previous paragraph.
Registrations must be submitted via the form on the website www.1000millas.com applicants may access the site at any time to complete missing information prior to the registration deadline.
Once the selection of participating cars is complete, the accepted participant acknowledges that a car other than the one originally accepted will not be considered registered.
If valid registrations exceed the limit by the closing date, a selection process will be conducted, and the full fee will be refunded to those not accepted. In the event of *force majeure* and subject to the Organizing Committee’s approval, the substitution of the originally accepted car may be authorized. The replacement vehicle must be included on the list of homologated cars and as a sine qua non condition its year of manufacture must be the same as or earlier than that of the replaced car. Under no circumstances will a car of a later model year be accepted. Entries will be accepted via the form on the website www.1000millas.com.
Cars that are not selected will be placed on a waiting list in the event of a cancellation by one of the accepted entrants.

Inspections will cover the condition of tires, lights, brakes, and the vehicle’s general state, as well as the fire extinguisher.

Any element protruding beyond the bodywork not originally provided by the manufacturer that is intended to display timing data is prohibited.
Vehicles must meet all requirements for road legality and be equipped solely with tires homologated for standard road use. “Slick” tires are strictly prohibited.

Teams for the 2026 1000 Millas
Teams must consist of a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 participants; each team member is assigned a handicap.
Handicap = 20 – Average based on ACA Priority Drivers
For any participant whose Priority Driver average exceeds 20, or who does not appear on the Priority Driver list, the value is capped at 20. In this case, the participant’s handicap will be 0 (20 – 20).
A team’s score is the average of the scores achieved by each participant. A participant’s race score is calculated as follows: Driver A Score = Race average + Handicap
The team with the lowest score wins.
Example:
Based on Priority Drivers:
Driver A: Level 5, Driver B: 12, Driver C: Level 3, Driver D: Level 16, Driver E: Level 8.
Team 1: Driver A (Handicap: 15), Driver B (Handicap: 8)
Team 2: Driver C (Handicap: 17), Driver D (Handicap: 4), Driver E (Handicap: 12)
Race Result:
Driver A: Average 4.5, Driver B: 13.2, Driver C: 3.6, Driver D: 14.4, Driver E: 7.4
Team 1: (Driver A + Driver B) / 2 = ((4.5 + 15) + (13.2 + 8)) / 2 = 20.35
Team 2: (Driver C + Driver D + Driver E) / 3 = ((3.6 + 17) + (14.4 + 4) + (7.4 + 12)) / 3 = 19.47.
Winner: Team 2
Art. 24 - Claims
All protests must be submitted in writing and accompanied by a deposit of US$300 (three hundred). The deposit will be refunded only if the protest is upheld.
Please note the following:

PENALTIES
Controls – Seal (C.S.)
Checkpoint controls will be located along the route to ensure drivers adhere to the established course. Please note that these checkpoints operate on individual schedules for each driver. Passing through a checkpoint ahead of the scheduled time—as confirmed on the driver’s own route card—incurs a penalty of 300 points per minute or fraction thereof. At each checkpoint, the driver receives an official stamp on said card.
Maximum penalty: EXCLUSION. Drivers are not required to exit their vehicles.
Secret Controls
Secret checkpoints will be positioned along the route to monitor compliance with the average speed limit; passing a checkpoint ahead of the theoretical time is strictly prohibited.
Times at secret checkpoints will be recorded in minutes. Penalty method:
– For a participant passing up to 15 minutes late relative to their theoretical schedule:
Penalty: zero points. After 15 minutes: 500 points.
– Participants will also be penalized if they fail to comply with the maximum speed limits at secret checkpoints equipped with radar:
Penalty: 300 penalty points.
Timekeeping Controls (C.H.)
Time Controls will be located along the route for the purpose of assigning penalty points. Times at the Time Controls will be recorded to the hundredth of a second.
Participants may wait outside the control area for as long as they wish before passing through it at the scheduled time.
Drivers will incur the following penalty points:
For each hundredth of a second (early or late) relative to the target time set for each control
Penalty: 1 penalty point.

Penalty: 100 penalty points.
Passing through more than 15 minutes behind the target time
Penalty: exclusion.
No one may stop within the control zone marked between the yellow sign and the beige sign.

Signs:
Timed Tests (T.T.)
Timed Tests will be located along the route for the purpose of assigning penalty points. Times for the Timed Tests will be recorded to the hundredth of a second.
Participants may wait outside the control area for as long as they wish before entering, but must remain inside the area only for the time required to complete the control procedure.
Drivers will incur the following penalty points:
For each hundredth of a second deviation (plus or minus) from the target time set for each control
Penalty: 1 penalty point
Maximum penalty
Penalty: 100 penalty points
Passing through more than 15 minutes after the target passing time
Penalty: Exclusion.
Stopping within the control zone—the area marked between the yellow sign and the beige sign—is prohibited.

The following will be excluded from the classification:
A) Participants who do not display their competition number.
B) Participants who do not follow the planned route.
C) Participants who arrive at a Time Control (C.H.), Passage Control (P.C.), or Stop Control (C.S.) more than 15 minutes after their OWN THEORETICAL TIME.
D) Participants who fail to pass through a time control (C.H., C.P., P.P.I., or C.S.).
An exception may be granted to a driver who, for technical reasons, missed a time control or passage control (which may be a secret control) during a stage. They may be readmitted to the following stage (day) with a penalty of 100 points for each missed control plus a 500-point fine, provided that, within 30 minutes of the stage classification being posted, the participant informs the Event Director in writing of their intention to continue in the event. Each case will be decided by Event Management. This exception does not apply to the final stage of the event:

CLASSIFICATION
The final classification will be determined as follows:
- General Classification Classification by Driver Categories (A, B, C)
- Team Classification
- Classification by Absolute Points
The overall winner of the “2023 1000 Millas Sport de la República Argentina” will be the participant who accumulates the lowest number of penalty points, after discarding the test with the highest penalty from both the first and second stages (one discard per stage). No discards apply to the third stage.
Once the penalty points are tallied, the resulting score will be multiplied by a specific coefficient assigned to each car. The coefficient for each car is determined by its year of manufacture. All cars built prior to January 1, 1931, will be treated as if built in 1930, regardless of their actual manufacture date; penalty points for these vehicles will be calculated by multiplying the penalties by 1.30.
Example: A 1950 car will have a coefficient of 1.50, which will be multiplied by the accumulated penalty points. In the general classification, in the event of a tie (equal total points), the older car will take the higher position.
