Concorso is spectacular! The amount of fine cars in one location is a sight to be seen. If you didn't know what was going on in that little city, you would think everybody owned a Ferrari.

It's a lot of fun to be there right on the green along with hundreds of other fellow Ferrari owners. It's like a giant picnic. One year I even saw someone bring a blender and he was making drinks for everybody! You don't have to be judged if you don't want to, so there is no pressure there. Being able to park on the green also eliminates the hassle of having to park far away and hoof it in or take the shuttle bus. It's a great experience to take part in this event. |

If you have the Ferrari judged and recieve an award, You get to drive across the Podium to pick it up. That's a fun experience! |

Having your car judged is separate from the exhibitor fee and is not automatic. Additional entry form involved. You also tend to stay near the car most of the day due to prep and showing. The exhibitors not having the car judged just park on the green, lock-up and tour the whole show. This annual event motivates me to fix and detail the little things on the car that I normally ignore. You know, like setting the clock to accurate time, cleaning the vanity mirror------ |

Thanks for the replies it sounds like a fun day. So, at this point is it correct to say that you can pay $100 bucks to get yourself parking on the green (ground zero) as long as your car is clean, or $60 bucks just to wander around and be able to leave before the 4:30pm traffic? Allen, if you go as an Exhibitor is your car automatically judged or is that something separate? I'm going regardless, but just wondering which way to go. |

Until July 1, it cost $50 for two tickets and free parking on the green all day. Now it's up to $100, but spectator tickets are $60 each. I'm going this year after a break last year. This year could be interesting, as there is a major tiff going on between the organizer and the Ferrari Club, which was dumped as the sanctioning body for the judging. |

Exhibited last two years and will have the car judged again this year. Always a great day for both Spectators and Exhibitors. Everything Italian! |

It's one of the best events of the year. Highly recommend it. I was an exhibitor last year, but this year I will be spectating. |

Wondering if it's worthwhile to go and exhibit your Italian Stallion verses just being a spectator. Any thoughts from those who've done it before or familiar with the event. I've never been to the Concorso sounds like fun. http://www.concorso.com Eric |
