As the month of May begins, the world of classic cars comes into full swing, warming the hearts of enthusiasts not only with the arrival of the first warm days but also with truly unmissable events. Like every beginning of the month, Roarington is bringing you a comprehensive overview of this month's highlights.
Let's start with the Ayrton Senna Forever exhibition at MAUTO, the National Automobile Museum in Turin, which opened on April 24 and can be visited until October 13. It captures the history of the Brazilian champion by displaying the cars he drove in races, helmets, overalls and publications that recount his achievements.

From May 10 to 12, we remain in the Formula 1 sphere with the Grand Prix Historique of Monaco. An event that should be marked in red in the calendar not only for the festive atmosphere in the Principality, but above all for the opportunity to see the single-seaters live in action that have written the history of F1's most glamorous Grand Prix.
The Grand Prix Historique will be held from May 10 to 12 in Monaco.
The following weekend, from May 17 to 19, there will be the Concorso d'Eleganza Cavallino Modena dedicated to Ferrari cars of all eras. The gathering of the public will be on May 18 at the museum dedicated to Enzo Ferrari, the MEF, where from 4:45 p.m. to 6 p.m. the cars with the highest scores will be awarded by international judges. In addition to the cars, visitors can admire the museum's magnificent architecture that combines the signs of the past with the most advanced modernism. Access to the awards ceremony area will be free of charge.

Spa Classic is a must-see event from May 17 to 20 for fans of historic endurance racing.
From May 24 to 26 will be one of the most important weeks of the year as far as classic cars are concerned: The famous Concorso d'Eleganza at Villa d'Este will once again pull in numerous events this year.
The Fuoriconcorso at Villa del Grumello will celebrate British motor history from Formula 1 to Le Mans this year. At the same venue the presentation of the Zagato AGTZ Twin Tail will take place. Something that should not be missed out on.

To conclude the month of May, there will be a celebration of women: On May 25 the Rallye des Princesses will start from Paris with competitors travelling through Tours, Saint-Martin-de-Ré, Sarlat-la-Canéda, Carcassonne and finally conclude in the Principality of Andorra on May 30.
From May 25 to 30 the Rallye des Princesses, an all-female event from Paris to Andorra, will take place.
And it is an unmissable appointment to visit the beautiful location and admire the cars on display perhaps while sipping an aperitif on the shores of Lake Como.
