After the great solo Ferrari concours at the Breakers the Cavallino Classics went back to Mar-a-Lago for the multi-marque gathering at the famous country club in Palm Beach. After the transition in the last year and the difficult organization in the middle of a pandemic with the postponed classics finally Mar-a-Lago was back on the program.

The BR20 is a two-seater V12 coupé developed on the GTC4Lusso platform, which in terms of its philosophy and styling approach, cleverly references the magnificent Ferrari coupés of the 1950s and 60s, without the slightest hint of nostalgia. Instead, it pulls off the challenging feat of marrying timeless elegance with muscular sportiness, effortlessly incorporating styling themes typical of some of the most iconic 12-cylinders in Ferrari history, including the 410 SA and 500 Superfast.

2021 marked 125 years since the original Emancipation Run, first held in 1896 to celebrate the recently passed Locomotives on Highways Act. This had raised the speed limit for “light locomotives” from 4 to 14mph and abolished the need for a man to walk ahead waving a red flag. The way things are going in London at the moment with multiple 20mph zones, we’ll soon be back to the dawn of motoring! Actually we probably are already in terms of average traffic speeds.

“Who do you think you are? Stirling Moss?” This, so the story goes, is what a policeman asked the legendary British racing driver following a particularly ‘daring’ overtaking manoeuvre on the streets of London. “Yes sir, I am” was the honest reply. There’s a nod to this legendary tale – and a number of other aspects of Moss’s life and career – in “The Last Blast”, a new short film by Mercedes-Benz Classic. A police motorcycle outrider admonishes the over-enthusiastic driver of the very Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR made famous by Moss’s win in the 1955 Mille Miglia race.

Starting from Maserati’s roots to plan its future: the values of exclusivity, unique design and 100% Italian DNA of cars of the past are renewed today in the models that mark the Brand’s New Era. It is in this spirit that Maserati celebrates the 70th anniversary of the A6G 2000. The first A6G 2000, a car representative of the A6 series, built by Maserati from 1947 to 1956 and named in homage to Alfieri Maserati (hence the letter A) with a 6 indicating the engine type (straight 6) was delivered exactly 70 years ago, in February 1951..

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano has set the fastest lap recorded by a production car at the 2.439-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, lapping the circuit at an impressive 1:29.625 seconds at a maximum speed of 174.6 mph to set this time. “It was a great moment to witness, seeing how the impressive performance of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale put down this lap record on July 15,” says Mark Raffauf, Senior Director of Race Operations at International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), which oversaw the test.

The Museo Lamborghini is situated to the right of the main entrance of the factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, which is a historic small town in the countryside, approximately mid way between Bologna and Modena. A bonus of its location right on the factory premises is that one will see cars being taken out on test, and maybe even spot the odd prototype. The factory is on the main SP 255, Via Modena, on the outskirts of the town, but within walking distance of the historic centre, and is still the site on which Ferruccio Lamborghini established the original factory in 1963.

After almost 2 years of deprivations 2022 starts again with the annual Ferrari events of the Cavallino Classic in Florida. Last year was postponed to April due to the pandemic and so the premiere edition of the new organisation of Canossa Events who took over the show just a few months before was only a transition year and the 30rd Cavallino Classic was basically still organized by the old team. Now in 2022 the first changes of the new format came into play that are set to bring the classics into the future attracting not only those who attend the event for years but also a new and younger public.

The Ristorante Cavallino has officially begun a new era, hosting a lunch for Scuderia Ferrari people both past and present.
