The Coppa delle Alpi St. Moritz Edition 2026 ended in the name of regularity and tradition , with the crew formed by Alberto Aliverti and Sergio Carrara winning at the wheel of a 1937 Fiat 508 C after three intense days of racing .

The classic winter rally for classic cars, held from March 12th to 15th , tested participants along a 630-kilometer route through breathtaking Alpine scenery, combining precision, concentration, and the ability to adapt to weather conditions. The difference was made by the consistency of crew number 2, who built their success with consistent progression until the decisive push in the final stage.

Winning comeback in the final

After finishing the first day in fourth place , Aliverti and Carrara managed to climb the standings to third place at the end of the second leg, completing the comeback in the final act of the event. This result confirms the experience and solidity of one of the most anticipated crews on the eve of the event. For Aliverti, this is further confirmation of their success in the previous edition of the winter competition.

The final podium

Behind the winners were Francesco and Giuseppe Di Pietra , also in a 1938 version of the Fiat 508 C , who were protagonists of a high-level race after having led the standings since the first day. Completing the podium was the crew of Gianmario Fontanella and Anna Maria Covelli , who came in third in a 1930 Fiat 514 S , the car with which they also won the St. Moritz Trophy .

A technical journey between Italy and Switzerland

The 2026 edition featured a selective and spectacular route, spanning Italy and Switzerland , with 80 timed trials , 6 average speed trials , 10 time controls , and 7 time controls . A format that successfully combined the sporting component with the beauty of the Alpine landscapes, in a setting made even more evocative by changeable weather conditions: from the almost spring-like sunshine of the early stages to the return of snow and fully winter-like temperatures.

Awards and a look ahead to the 2027 Mille Miglia

The event concluded with the traditional gala dinner and final awards ceremony , during which eight guarantees of acceptance to the 1000 Miglia 2027 were also awarded . This highly anticipated edition will celebrate the centenary of the Freccia Rossa . The awards were reserved for the overall winners, the best in their category, and the best-performing crews in the average speed trials.

With this edition, the Coppa delle Alpi once again confirms its role as a benchmark event in the international historic regularity scene, capable of combining sport, elegance, and high-altitude charm in a format increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts.

Italian motorsport has lost one of its most iconic figures: Sandro Munari, the legendary “Dragon of Cavarzere,” a key figure in the golden age of rallying. With him, a piece of history is lost, one marked by spectacular drifts, epic victories, and an era-defining driving style.

Born in Cavarzere in 1940, Munari established himself in the 1960s thanks to his natural talent, mechanical acumen, and a style as effective as it was spectacular. His name remains inextricably linked to  Lancia , with which he created some of the most memorable moments in world rallying.

With the  Lancia Fulvia HF,  he achieved national and international successes, but it was with the extraordinary  Lancia Stratos HF  that he truly entered the legend. At the  Monte-Carlo Rally,  he achieved feats that have remained in the collective memory, dominating the special stages on ice and asphalt with precise and courageous driving.

In 1977, he won the  FIA ​​Cup for Rally Drivers , the forerunner of the current world championship, establishing himself as one of the discipline’s greatest champions. His track record includes victories in World Rally Championship races, wins at the Targa Florio, and participation in international competitions, demonstrating a rare versatility.

After his racing career, Munari remained a point of reference for enthusiasts and industry insiders: instructor, spokesperson, and a constant presence at major classic car events. Always elegant in his manner, never over the top, he continued to convey a passion and culture for sports cars.

Sandro Munari wasn’t just a winner. He was a symbol: of an Italy capable of daring, of a rally built on men and courage, of an era when talent made the difference.

His name will remain forever engraved in the history of rallying. 

A weekend dedicated to the history and passion of the Prancing Horse

From February 13 to 15, 2026 , over 300 Ferraris , including historic and contemporary models, will gather in Florida to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Cavallino Classic , the most important event in the world entirely dedicated to the Maranello brand.

The event will take place in the prestigious setting of The Boca Raton resort , transforming the American location into a true international point of reference for collectors, enthusiasts and professionals.

The weekend program

The weekend will kick off on Friday with the traditional Tour d’Eleganza , a road parade that will allow some of the participating Ferraris to be admired in motion through Florida’s most evocative scenery. In the evening, the Party Under the Stars will take place , an exclusive event that officially opens the Cavallino Classic.

Saturday will be the heart of the event with the Concorso d’Eleganza , during which the cars will be displayed and judged within the resort. It’s a unique opportunity to get a close-up look at Ferraris from all eras, judged for authenticity, preservation, and historical value.

Sunday will close the event with Classic & Sports Sunday , an exhibition dedicated to classic and sports cars from various brands, hosted in the prestigious headquarters of the Mar-a-Lago Club .

A celebration of Ferrari history

Founded in 1992 , the Cavallino Classic is now considered the world’s largest concours d’elegance dedicated exclusively to Ferrari. For its 35th anniversary, the new Cavallino Legacy Class debuts , a special category that brings together the “Best of Show” winners of previous editions, creating a truly celebratory exhibition of the history of the event and the brand.

News and previews

Ferrari will officially be present with a significant selection of models, including the US premiere of the new 849 Testarossa , in addition to the entire range currently in production. This will be an opportunity to unite the Prancing Horse’s past, present, and future in one grand event.

Auction and collectibles

Among the most anticipated moments of the weekend is the official Cavallino Classic auction , which will feature some highly collectible Ferraris, alongside exclusive memorabilia and historic items linked to the world of Ferrari.

Geronimo La Russa is the new president of the Automobile Club of Italy. His appointment marks the beginning of a new era for the organization that has represented Italian motoring for over a century, aiming to combine tradition, innovation, and a focus on the future of mobility.

A Milanese lawyer with years of experience in the world of motorsports and classic cars, Geronimo La Russa brings to the presidency a profile strongly rooted in the values ​​of motorsports passion, automotive culture, and the preservation of historical heritage. Throughout his career, he has held numerous institutional roles within the ACI, gaining firsthand experience in managing and representing the sector.

In his inaugural address, the new president emphasized his desire to strengthen the ACI’s role as a point of reference for motorists, enthusiasts, and collectors, placing particular emphasis on road safety, sustainable development, and the promotion of classic Italian motoring. These issues remain central in a time of profound change for the mobility sector.

The ACI is thus preparing to face the challenges of the coming years with a leadership that intends to maintain a strong connection with its history while promoting an evolution consistent with contemporary needs. This balance between past and future represents one of the pillars of the new direction initiated under La Russa’s presidency.

A major turning point has arrived for the world of classic Italian motoring. With a recent circular, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has officially opened the possibility of assigning classic license plates to vehicles and motorcycles built before 1952 , filling a regulatory gap that had excluded the oldest models for years.

Until now, in fact, the reassignment of historic license plates was only permitted for vehicles from later eras, leaving out a key part of the national automotive heritage. With the new ministerial directive, these vehicles can now return to circulation with license plates faithfully reproduced according to the original model of the era , both in terms of shape and materials.

The license plates are produced by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato , following production processes that respect the historical and artisanal characteristics of the original models. This attention to detail restores full historical consistency to the vehicles, enhancing their identity and authenticity.

This is a long-awaited decision by collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts, who have long called for formal recognition even for older vehicles. This significant step strengthens the protection and valorization of Italy’s automotive heritage, allowing these vehicles to return to the road not just as exhibits, but as living witnesses to automotive history .

From 27 to 29 March 2026 , the passion for historic four-wheelers will once again take centre stage in the pavilions of the Vicenza Fair , which will host a new edition of the Vicenza Classic Car Show , which has now become a point of reference for collectors, enthusiasts and professionals in the sector.

The event confirms its position as a comprehensive showcase dedicated to the world of classic cars, capable of recounting decades of automotive history through iconic vehicles, emerging youngtimers , and models that marked the technical and stylistic evolution of the twentieth century.

Classic cars, market and motoring culture

The exhibition will offer ample space for classic cars for sale, complemented by a well-stocked market featuring original spare parts, automobilia, models, technical manuals, and accessories for restoration and preservation. This is a unique opportunity for those seeking a collector’s item or wishing to complete an existing project.

There will also be plenty of space for private individuals , who will be able to exhibit and offer their cars, helping make the event a true meeting point between supply and demand in the collecting scene.

Clubs, meetings and shared passion

As per tradition, there will be areas reserved for clubs and brand registries , the beating heart of the event. Here, visitors will be able to meet other enthusiasts, exchange experiences, delve into historical and technical aspects, and experience the event as a moment of authentic sharing.

Outside the pavilions, gatherings and collateral activities will round out the program, making the three-day event in Vicenza a dynamic and engaging experience, suitable for both experienced collectors and those approaching the world of classic cars for the first time.

A salon of Italian collectors

The Vicenza Classic Car Show 2026 once again presents itself as much more than a simple trade fair: a true salon of classic motoring, where passion, history, and the market meet in a refined and accessible setting, in the heart of a city that has always been linked to the culture of the automobile.

Beginning in 2026, Bonhams will relocate its historic Monterey auction to WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, concluding a nearly thirty-year partnership with The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering.

The debut at the new venue is scheduled for Thursday, August 13, 2026, with public previews held in the days leading up to the event. This move, part of a multi-year agreement, solidifies the strategic bond between the auction house and the world-renowned Californian circuit.

This new location will allow Bonhams to integrate the event into the very heart of motorsport week, providing a setting in perfect symbiosis with the prestige of the vehicles on offer. The cars will be displayed within the paddock, immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of Monterey Car Week. Laguna Seca thus confirms its status as the ideal backdrop for one of the most anticipated events on the international collecting calendar.

The 28th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique concluded in the most thrilling way possible, with the final standings decided only in the final kilometers. An intense, hard-fought edition, packed with twists and turns, it kept competitors and spectators on the edge of their seats until the very end.

The Spaniards Luis Climent Asensio and Carles Jimenez Valls , at the wheel of a BMW 323i , took victory, putting in a top-level performance that allowed them to prevail in an extremely balanced race, characterised by minimal gaps between the main crews.

The 2026 edition of the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique once again confirmed the unique appeal of the event, combining tradition, strategy, and precision driving. The new regulations, including the use of completely closed roads, further increased the level of competition and safety, highlighting the technical and sporting qualities of the participants.

Numerous crews alternated at the top of the leaderboards throughout the stages, making the final outcome uncertain until the final race. It was precisely in the final phase that Climent and Jimenez Valls managed to make the difference, prevailing thanks to impeccable race management and great consistency.

The Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique thus confirms its position as one of the most prestigious and selective events in the historic motorsport scene, capable of showcasing legendary cars and highly experienced drivers, in keeping with the Principality’s sporting tradition.
