The '''Mil Milhas Brasil''' (also known as the '''Mil Milhas Brasileiras''' or '''1000 Miles of Brazil''' in [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]) is a [[sports car racing|sports car]] [[endurance racing (motorsport)|endurance race]] held annually in [[Brazil]] since 1956.

The first Mil Milhas was organized by Eloy Gagliano and Wilson Fittipaldi Sr., the father of [[Wilson Fittipaldi Júnior]] and [[Emerson Fittipaldi]]. The two had been inspired by the 1949 [[Italy|Italian]] [[Mille Miglia]]. Wilson Fittipaldi Sr. was a journalist and brought media as well as sponsors such as [[auto parts]] companies to support the event. The first event was held on [[November 24]]&ndash;[[November 25|25]], 1956 with 31 sports cars competing at the [[Autódromo José Carlos Pace|Interlagos]] circuit.  

The Mil Milhas has been held nearly every year since its inception and is one of the longest running motor racing events in Brazil.  Nearly every running has used the Interlagos circuit, but the 1997 and 1999 events were held at [[Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet|Jacarapagua]] and [[Autódromo Internacional de Curitiba|Curitiba]] respectively.

In 2007, the race was held as a part of the [[Le Mans Series]], the first time the race had been part of an international championship.  The event had previously been supported as a non-championship event in the [[BPR Global GT Series]] as well as the [[FIA GT Championship]]. FIA GT planned to add the event to their calendar in 2007, but chose to hand the event instead to Le Mans Series organizers.
