Salon Privé London will return to the British capital from 16 to 18 April 2026 , confirming its venue at the Royal Hospital Chelsea . The event stands out on the international scene for its now consolidated formula: a concours d’elegance and commercial exhibition coexist in a single event, with all the cars present available for purchase.

The 2026 edition will see the introduction of the Automotive Gallery , a space dedicated to previews and models presented by internationally renowned manufacturers and dealers. Brands that have already announced their participation include Aston Martin, Maserati, Lotus, MG, Brabus, Jensen, and Elektron Motors .

Particular attention will be given to McLaren , featuring a selection of road and racing cars, at a time of strong visibility for the English brand, also on a sporting level.

The program will also include themed exhibitions, club-only areas, and a growing presence of restomods , an increasingly central segment of the collector car market. Alongside historic models, there will also be contemporary supercars and extremely high-end vehicles, aimed at an international audience of enthusiasts and collectors.

The Stellantis Heritage Hub will host one of the most iconic heritages of Italian automotive design from 2026.

The ASI-Bertone Collection is preparing to return home. Starting in early 2026 , one of the most fascinating legacies of Italian automotive design will find a new home in Turin , within the Stellantis Heritage Hub in Mirafiori, thanks to an agreement between the Automotoclub Storico Italiano (ASI) and Stellantis Heritage .

A symbolic and strongly identifying return: Turin is the historic cradle of Bertone and the place where, for over half a century, some of the most iconic interpretations of international automotive design were born. The collection, acquired and safeguarded by the ASI since 2015, includes prototypes, production models, concept cars, and unique one-offs , spanning a period from the 1950s to the early 2000s .

Located at Via Plava 80 , the collection will enrich the Heritage Hub’s exhibition itinerary, offering visitors a journey through the evolution of Bertone design: experimental lines, visionary solutions, and cars that anticipated stylistic languages ​​destined to become a point of reference for entire generations of designers and manufacturers.

As underlined by Roberto Giolito , head of Stellantis Heritage Italia, the arrival of the ASI-Bertone Collection represents a precious opportunity to tell the profound bond between automobiles, creativity and territory , valorising a history made of intuition, design courage and continuous aesthetic and technical research.

A return that is not only geographical, but cultural: the Bertone collection returns to dialogue with the city that saw it born, ready to inspire enthusiasts, professionals, and new generations of designers.

Geronimo La Russa, president of the Automobile Club d’Italia (ACI) and the Automobile Club Milano, has been elected to the FIA ​​World Motor Sport Council, significantly strengthening Italy’s presence at the top of international motorsport.

The election took place during the FIA ​​General Assembly held in Tashkent, with the participation of 146 national sports federations, which confirmed Mohammed Ben Sulayem as president of the International Automobile Federation.

The World Motor Sport Council is one of the FIA’s most important bodies, with decisive powers over the technical and sporting regulations that govern motor racing globally.

La Russa’s appointment is strategically important for Italy, which thus consolidates its role on the international stage during a phase of profound evolution in the automotive and motorsport sectors, increasingly oriented towards innovation, sustainability, and the protection of historical heritage.

Registration is officially open for the Ferrari Tribute 1000 Miglia 2026 , the event reserved for Prancing Horse cars that will accompany the historic re-enactment of the famous Freccia Rossa. The event will take place from June 9 to 13, 2026 , following the traditional figure-eight route that recalls the original 1000 Miglia.

The program includes a route that will cross Italy from north to south and back. The departure is set in Desenzano del Garda , with subsequent stops in Vicenza, Padua, Ferrara, and Modena , before reaching the Tyrrhenian coast and arriving in Pietrasanta . From there, the caravan will continue towards Siena and Rome , before climbing up the Apennines passing through Assisi, Gubbio, and the Republic of San Marino . The final leg of the route will touch the Riviera Romagnola , with the final arrival in Brescia .

Up to 120 Ferraris built from 1958 to the present will be eligible , selected based on criteria of exclusivity, historical representativeness, and collectible value. Registrations must be completed by 4:00 PM on Friday, February 13, 2026 , while the official list of accepted cars will be announced by Wednesday, March 4, 2026 .

The Ferrari Tribute 1000 Miglia thus confirms its position as a key event for Ferrari enthusiasts from all over the world, offering the chance to enjoy a unique experience along some of Italy’s most enchanting roads, in the name of passion, elegance, and the great Italian automotive tradition.

From March 19 to 21, 2026, Cortina d’Ampezzo will return to the center of historic motorsport with a new edition of the WinteRace , taking place just a few weeks after the conclusion of the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. A unique setting, combining sport, landscape, and tradition, the Dolomites make the ideal backdrop for one of the most evocative regularity races on the ASI calendar.

The 2026 edition will kick off on Thursday with a special prologue, the Olympic Challenge , designed to evoke the spirit of the recently concluded Games. A short but intense course, with a series of timed trials that will take the crews from Pocol to the Giau Pass , offering breathtaking scenery and technical driving on mountain roads right from the start.

The heart of the event will be Friday, a long route through some of the most iconic passes in the Dolomites. From Cortina, the caravan will tackle Falzarego, Pordoi, Gardena, and Costalunga, passing iconic locations such as Arabba, Canazei, Ortisei, and Corvara. A challenging and spectacular route that will test the precision, concentration, and teamwork of the teams.

Saturday will be the turn of the grand finale, with the passage towards Passo Cimabanche , Lake Braies , San Candido, and Lake Misurina , before returning to Cortina for the race’s conclusion. This final day is designed to showcase the area and offer a fitting conclusion to an event that makes elegance in motion its hallmark.

Seventy cars are expected at the start , divided between classic cars built before 1999 and more recent Icon models, selected for their design and representative value. Cars from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s are particularly popular, considered ideal for tackling winter routes thanks to their balance of technology, weight, and handling.

The WinteRace Cortina 2026 also confirms its strong international vocation, with crews from multiple continents and an Italian participation that will create a symbolic challenge between regions. A mix of competition, passion, and fair play makes this event not just a race, but an experience celebrating historic automobiles in one of the world’s most captivating Alpine settings.

The 2025 edition of the 1000 Miglia Experience China has concluded  , an event which for the second consecutive year brought the allure of historic cars and the sporting prestige of the legendary  Freccia Rossa to China , confirming itself as an important event on the international scene.

89 cars from  28 prestigious automotive brands will be competing  , with crews from all over the world. The international presence is significant, with  40 foreign participants  representing  eight countries  —Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, France, the United States, Spain, and the United Kingdom—a testament to the event’s increasingly global reach.

The route exceeded  1,200 kilometers , winding through the heart of the  Greater Bay Area of ​​Guangdong . The cars crossed the urban districts of  Guangzhou  – Haizhu, Huangpu, Panyu, Conghua and Zengcheng – before touching on important historical and industrial centers such as  Foshan  and  Shunde , up to the more natural and hilly areas of  Qingyuan . The route also took in  Huizhou, Heshan, Jiangmen, Nankunshan and Luofushan , offering the crews a suggestive alternation of modern metropolises, manufacturing districts and green landscapes of the hinterland.

At the end of  five days of racing , including regularity tests and driving skill, victory went to the Japanese team formed by  Kiyoyuki Okuyama and Daisuke Saito , first overall with their  1957 Abarth 750. Also on the podium were the  1961 Porsche 356 A Speedster  of  Klein and Alexander Eberhard , and the  1994 Mercedes S-Class W140  of  Enrico Rondinelli and Matteo Wolter , protagonists of a hard-fought and spectacular competition.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed ​​will return from 9 to 12 July 2026 with a theme that promises pure spectacle: “The Rivals – Epic Racing Duels” , a journey through the most iconic rivalries that have marked the history of car and motorcycle racing.

The challenges that made the legend

The 2026 edition will celebrate the confrontations that transformed simple races into epic chapters in motorsport. Among the most anticipated rivalries will be the duels between manufacturers and drivers that ignited the passion of generations of enthusiasts: from the battle between Ford and Ferrari in the golden years of Le Mans to the fiery clashes between champions like James Hunt and Niki Lauda, ​​symbols of a Formula 1 that thrived on intense emotions and indomitable characters.

An event that embraces all disciplines

The Festival of Speed ​​will, as always, bring together vehicles from every corner of the racing world: Formula 1, MotoGP, rallying, Superbike, endurance, IndyCar, touring cars, and many other categories that have written indelible pages in racing history.

During the four-day event, cars and motorcycles will climb the famous Goodwood Hillclimb , offering the public the chance to experience up close not only the power of the vehicles but also the stories, protagonists and adrenaline that fueled some of the greatest sporting rivalries of all time.

Emotion, memory and spectacle

The organizers promise an edition capable of capturing the very essence of competition: tension, strategy, courage, and that fine line separating triumph from defeat. An opportunity to remember how, in motorsport, rivals are often the best narrators of each other’s greatness.

The prestigious Salon Privé, held as always in the gardens of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, has opened registration for the 2026 edition of its renowned Concours d’Elegance. The event will take place on Wednesday, September 2nd and Thursday, September 3rd, when the palace’s south lawn will host a selection of outstanding classic and contemporary automobiles.

A competition full of charm

The competing categories include pre- and post-war vehicles, sports racing cars, classic Ferraris, and a section dedicated to the evolution of supercars. For 2026, however, the organizers have added a further special class, dedicated to 80 years of Bristol Cars , a British brand beloved for its artisanal philosophy and the no-frills elegance of its grand tourers.

Bristol Cars: a legacy worth celebrating

Bristol Cars was founded in 1946 as an evolution of the historic Bristol Aeroplane Company. Its first vehicle, the Bristol 400, immediately laid the foundation for a tradition of hand-built cars, produced in limited runs and characterized by a simple and refined style. Over the decades, these cars have fascinated enthusiasts, collectors, and even members of the British royal family.

The class dedicated to the brand will bring together some of the most representative models of its history, retracing the entire evolution of the brand from the post-war period to the present day.

A look into the future of Bristol Cars

The celebration doesn’t just look to the past: the new management of Bristol Cars has also announced its intention to present at Salon Privé the first results of the “Vision 8.0” project, a plan that aims to relaunch the brand for a new generation, while maintaining intact the values ​​that have defined its identity.

The competition will thus become a unique opportunity to see both the historic icons and the new interpretations of the brand up close.

Participate in Salon Privé 2026

The Competition will officially inaugurate the Salon Privé week, scheduled for September 2-6, 2026. Visitors and exhibitors can participate in the event: the complete program and registration details are available on the event’s official website.

The Winter Marathon returns in 2026 with a profoundly revamped edition, designed to celebrate the allure of the Alpine winter and the pure pleasure of driving on snow-covered roads. From January 22nd to 25th, Madonna di Campiglio will once again be the event’s hub, welcoming crews from across Europe for one of the most captivating regularity races on the international scene.

A completely revised track

The 2026 route spans 500 kilometers, divided into two main stages, designed to combine technique, spectacle, and scenery.
The race opens on Thursday, January 22nd, with an evening stage that will take the cars from Madonna di Campiglio towards Val di Sole, passing through Folgarida, Dimaro, and Vermiglio before climbing to the Tonale Pass. After the descent to Ponte di Legno, the crews will once again tackle the Tonale Pass, returning to Madonna di Campiglio late at night. This short but intense stage features tests on icy tracks and sections with varying average speeds.

The second stage, scheduled for Friday, January 23, represents the heart of the 2026 edition. It is a long journey through some of the most evocative scenery in the Alps, from the Val di Non to Alto Adige, with characteristic passages such as Tesimo, Andriano, and Oltradige. After a stop in Bolzano, the route continues towards the Renon plateau and the Castelrotto area, before heading towards three iconic Dolomite passes: Gardena, Campolongo, and Pordoi, which at 2,239 meters will be the highest point of the entire event.
The caravan will then descend towards Canazei, cross the Val di Fassa, and tackle the Costalunga and Nigra passes, before returning to Bolzano and climbing towards the Mendola Pass. From here, the route returns to Trentino, passing through Fondo and the Val di Sole, with the final arrival in Madonna di Campiglio expected in the late evening.

A balance between tradition and renewal

The Winter Marathon retains its original spirit: a race that showcases precision driving, navigational skills, and the mechanical robustness of vintage vehicles. At the same time, the new route showcases characteristic landscapes, Alpine villages, plateaus, and valleys, making every kilometer a travel experience as well as a sporting challenge.

The 2026 edition also confirms the alternation between timed and average speed trials, with sections on ice, challenging climbs, and long Dolomite passes. A mix that promises a balance between spectacle, technique, and true winter riding.

Rules and participation

All cars built up to 1976 are eligible; alongside these, a limited number of cars produced between 1977 and 1992 are included in a dedicated category. The organization maintains the traditional set-up with coefficients, rankings, and precision controls, but expands the participation possibilities thanks to a revised track and a format designed to make the race accessible while remaining selective.

An event not to be missed

The 2026 Winter Marathon promises to be one of the most evocative editions in recent years: a 500-kilometer journey through the Dolomites, through snow-covered passes, silent plateaus, illuminated valleys, and mountain scenery that provide the backdrop for a historic and recognized competition.
For enthusiasts, collectors, and regularity enthusiasts, it will be a unique opportunity to experience the winter mountains through the slow, perfect pace of their vintage vehicles.
