Is the event open to the public? What time does it start? Also, what is the situation for spectator parking? Looking forward to a great day!

 

Nice

 

+1?

 

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out, I am going to try and attend personally but doubtful we could get a car there in time. We have 3 huge events all within 3 weeks of each other prior to this event.

 

Would love to attend but I'll have to see how I feel after getting back from the 12 hours at Sebring. Good luck with the show!

 

Awesome! Thank you for the update. I will be looking forward to the official release.

 

If you make it in town make sure you let me know. Would love to buy you a beer and show you my studio.

 

Cost to enter a car?

William, impressive and the car would be placed in the post-war racing cars category.

Do you still have your F40? As the MBC is being sponsored by Pininfarina, the more
Pinin designed cars on the fairway, the better.
