Is there a list of recurring car events in the tampa area? I see a lot of cars and coffee posted on Facebook but they seem to be geared towards jdm or muscle cars.
At least from Oct-Jun - the UTC C&C (2nd Sat every month - 7-10a) at i75 and University (Manatee/Sarasota border) has a lot of cars... nearly 1000 some times. And there's everything. Exotics, muscle, classic, low riders, movie cars, etc. Something for everyone. There's also a C&C sporadically at the Enclave track, but I haven't made it there yet and another nearer Orlando. Then there's the annual shows on St. Armand's, Lakewood Ranch, Festival of Speed/St. Pete, etc.
Tampa area is mostly JDM and Dodges and I warn you about going near those "events. The events with more exotics are Armature Works that is every month I believe the 1st Saturday or something like that and in November Innisbrook in the Palm Harbor area is a very very nice well done event. There is a Monday night event in Wesley Chappel Provisions Coffee at Krate that some exotics go to. They charge to enter fyi. It's an OK night event but more Honda's and that crowd than anything. Lots of Porsches too but a few Lambo's show up sometimes. I went the the Motor Enclave event last Saturday. Super great clean facility but I think I was the only Ferrari there. Same last time I went so not a lot of higher end exotics seem to show up there anymore. There are Ferrari's in Tampa but they hide. No idea where they go or do. I was a member of the local Ferrari club but never heard from them after I joined a few years ago so I never renewed and they never asked. Just not a lot to do in Tampa for exotic cars unless you like to go do rally events over night for a few days on a run. I did a rally before but never again. Some of the most reckless idiot driving going...LOL. I had THE MOST FUN with cars doing track events out at Sebring. I did mostly Chin Track Days from 2005-2019 at Sebring, Homestead Miami, Daytona and out of town at Road Atlanta and Barber and those are the most fun with great car people. I see show info on Instagram.

Drive down to Broward for the Toy Rally in December. Get a hotel for the night. It’s well worth it. Breakfast, lunch and an amazing auction. Past auction items included Goodyear Blimp rides, cigarette boat rides, a chance to run your exotic full speed at the space shuttle runway in Canaveral and other really cool stuff. Registration often fills up within 24 hours of opening. http://www.toyrally.com/
Little bit of a drive but sign up is open for Ferrari’s at St Armands on Nov 1, Good group of guys that puts it on
