RM Sotheby’s returns to the glamorous Grimaldi Forum, a venue synonymous with the principality’s most prestigious events, for our 6th biennial Monaco auction on 9 May 2020. The Monaco auction takes place alongside the legendary Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, making for a weekend ripe with automotive excitement.

The auction will be held during the 12th Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, which takes place on the same circuit as the Formula 1 Grand Prix and will show some of the world’s most incredible race cars competing in seven different categories ranging from pre-war voiturettes and Grand Prix cars to Formula 1 Grand Prix cars from 1977 to 1980.

The auction will be held at the stylish, multipurpose Grimaldi Forum. With its sloping glass roof, sleek interiors, and oceanfront location, the eye-catching Grimaldi Forum is one of Monte Carlo’s most distinctive modern landmarks.

The Grimaldi Forum is located near several restaurants, museums, and monuments showcasing Monaco’s exceptional location between mountain and sea.
Monte Carlo is home to several casinos, all within walking distance of the Grimaldi Forum.

The Monte-Carlo Casino, built in 1863, overlooks the Mediterranean and is an architectural masterpiece that provides gaming at its most elegant setting. The casino is also home to the Monte-Carlo Opera, which stages world-renowned productions.

Monte Carlo offers luxury shopping with the biggest names in fashion, haute couture, perfumes, and jewelry, all in the open air under the blue Mediterranean sky.

The countdown to the second exciting edition of Motor Valley Fest has begun. The popular festival, which is open to the public, will take place in Modena from May 14-17, 2020. Over the course of four adrenaline-filled days, the festival will offer a vast program for Italian and international tourists, families, car-lovers, sports-lovers and fans of history, art, culture and good food.

Emilia-Romagna’s “Motor Valley” will once again be under the international spotlight during this event, visited by over 2 million tourists, celebrating the automotive excellence of the region and storied history of its famous two and four-wheel motor brands. The city of Modena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will become the prestigious stage to showcase the region’s automotive, cultural and gastronomic history.

This year, the Italian Motorcycle Federation joins the “Motor Valley” and ACI Italia and Emilia-Romagna Region Tourism Board/Apt Servizi agree to jointly promote Motor Valley in sports initiatives and in motor circuits, in addition to the promotion of the Motor Valley Development Association and its tourism-related activities.

Last year’s inaugural event brought over 70,000 people to the city to attend over 200 Motor Valley Fest events, according to John Elkann, FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) president who inaugurated the event. Over 3,000 people have been working on the Innovation area and over 15,000 people visited the Autodromo of Modena.

This year’s fest begins on Thursday, May 14, 2020 with a ribbon-cutting event attended by international media from the US, Asia, Middle East, the UK, Russia Poland and Germany as well as local professionals. Massimo Bottura, the most awarded chef-owner of Osteria Francescana, Modena-native and founder of the non-profit organization Food for Soul, will be hosting the inaugural dinner.

A plethora of locations throughout the city will participate in Motor Valley Fest activities: Palazzo Ducale, Piazza Mazzini, Piazza Matteotti, Piazza Grande, Piazza Roma, Piazza XX Settembre, Largo S. Agostino, Largo S. Francesco, Church Madonna del Voto, Palazzo de ‘Musei, College San Carlo and AGO; and once again the Autodromo of Modena and the Novi Sad Park. This year’s rich program of initiatives focuses on three themes: “Innovation & Talents”, “Expo” and “Adrenalina”.

Spa-Classic : a unique ambience on this legendary circuit!

More than 400 exceptional racing cars from the 50s to the 90s are expected to turn up for a mind-boggling spectacle on the outstanding Spa-Francorchamps circuit.

Classic Endurance Racing 1 and 2, 2.0L Cup, Sixties’ Endurance, The Greatest’s Trophy, Heritage Touring Cup, Group C Racing, Endurance Racing Legends & 2.0L Cup will follow one another on the track in spectacular races that relive the rich history of motor sport.

Concerning the clubs, the presence of more than 1500 historic sports cars and oldtimers will provide a unique, nostalgic, temporary exhibition.

The Spa-Classic paddocks are open to everybody and they will plunge you into another era of the motor car.

Difficult to believe that it’s already the tenth running of Spa-Classic! The drivers really look forward to this event and it is also the most popular of the season with spectators who flock to the Belgian circuit in large numbers every year (over 20 000 in 2019).

The 24 Hours of Le Mans race has Le Mans Classic and the 24 Hours of Spa, Spa-Classic, but because of different philosophical approaches there has been very little similarity between the two events for many years. The former gives pride of place to sport prototypes and the latter is for touring cars alone. The two Heritage Touring Cup races, one run in daytime and the other at night, pay homage to this Belgian singularity. On track are saloons and coupes that raced in the event between 1966 and 1984: Alfa Romeo 1750 GTAMs, BMW 3.0 CSLs, Chevrolet Camaros, Ford Capris, Jaguar XJSs, etc.

While production cars have a special place in the Ardennes, the sports prototypes and GTs are not forgotten either. Ferrari 250 GTs, Porsche 917s, Ford GT40s and Jaguar XJR-9s, all former participants in the 1 000 km or 6 Hours of Spa are all back at the circuit in their respective grids.

Spa-Francorchamps has often been described as the most beautiful circuit in the world and it could also be qualified as a photographers’ paradise. There are few race courses in the world where spectators can do a full lap on foot without ever losing sight of the track. The la Source hairpin, Eau Rouge the Raidillon , the Combes Esses, the Malmédy corner, the Pouhon double left-hander and the curve at Blanchimont all provide spectacular viewing points. And to finish off your walk visit the exhibitions, activities and boutiques installed in the paddock.
