The Monaco Historics has grown into the most exciting week of classic car racing in the World. It’s pure racing, no quarter asked, no quarter given. From the 1930’s Bugattis, Alfas and ERA’s to the Lotus, Tyrells and Ferraris of the 70’s, the classes are superb. Overlooking the start/finish line, our superb Hospitality Suite makes sure you don’t miss a thing. Add the glamour of Monaco, great restaurants, private events and racing celebrities and you have the recipe of a dream trip. However, that is just a start. We have now added two full days at the Portofino Coast village of Comogli, with dinners in both Comogli and Portofino. Our busy schedule continues with three full days in Modena and includes the Ducati and the Pagani factories. Also included are visits to the Maranello Galleria plus an opportunity to drive a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
First Class accommodations are hallmarks of this program, top restaurants and dream locations make this an experience of a lifetime.
