A Ferrari First in Monaco: only the Reds on Track!

Never before had the heart of the Principality of Monaco witnessed a “Grand Prix” raced exclusively by Ferraris. Seeing them all together was a genuine rush of emotion — and the grandstands made no secret of it. In truth, what unfolded was a grand parade conceived by Luigi Orlandini, Chairman of Cavallino Classic, with the support of Ferrari, transforming the weekend of the Grand Prix Historique into an undivided tribute to the Prancing Horse. Twenty-two Formula 1 single-seaters were lined up at the Yacht Club for a symbolic Concours d’Élégance — as Enzo Ferrari himself liked to say, “the most beautiful car is the one that wins” — before being taken onto the city circuit for parade laps. Cavallino Classic Monaco was honoured by the presence of Piero Ferrari, son of the Commendatore, together with his grandson Enzo Mattioli Ferrari, and benefited from the precious support of the Automobile Club de Monaco, the Yacht Club de Monaco and Ferrari Corse Clienti.

For the public on both Saturday and Sunday, this was a true celebration of Ferrari’s Formula 1 history — a moment in which the stopwatch gave way to memory, and to the sheer emotion of those naturally aspirated engines, capable of singing magnificent notes under braking and under acceleration alike, through the unforgiving corners of the Principality.
