To chase away enthusiasts who can't afford the crazy ticket prices is nothing less than total dystopian greed, really disgusting.
They might have over-chased. The advertising this year is way up from anything I remember. Perhaps a sign of ownership change but it’s not hard to imagine ticket sales have plunged either.
They tried their best to rudely and stupidly drive everyone away starting with the judges, owners of 50's and 60's classics and over priced Tortellini. I still hope to see a great selection of pre-Fiat era cars in photos later today but am not holding my breath.
Looking forward to concours photos please, anyone who is there, upper lawn, early cars, fifties , sixties, never mind the Fiat's;-). Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately the business model for events with track activities has changed since the days when John ran Cavallino and I had the Le Belle Macchine events.
It was a good turn out but without question was more biased to Fiat era than Enzo era than in its prime. I will say the turn out good quality Fiat era was good.
I agreed to only under my conditions. I made it clear it was not to support Cannossa but to double my output of trained judges. Cannossa did nothing to make our jobs easy.
You will not. While there were a few like Tom Pecks fabulous 375MM among them some Fiat era cars were required to fill the upper field.
