The 2021 edition of the Motor Valley Fest is pulling up to the starting line and participants are ready to restart their engines! The third edition of the festival celebrating Italy’s Motor Valley, in the Emilia Romagna city of Modena, will take center stage from Thursday July 1 to Sunday July 4, 2021.

The 2021 edition will bridge our current physical and digital worlds, with a plan of physical and digital activities dedicated to all fans of two and four wheels. Once again, the roar of engines, adrenaline, motorsport history, culture as well as food and wine excellence will be the key ingredients for this made-in-Italy event.

With passion at its core, the festival is an opportunity to showcase the world’s most beautiful supercars and motorcycles, unique jewels that symbolize Italian excellence around the world, from up close.

Some previews
For the first time, all the regional racetracks in Emilia Romagna are on board: the Riccardo Paletti in Varano, the Modena racetrack, the International Autodrome, Enzo and Dino Ferrari racetrack in Imola and, finally, the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, which will become the adrenaline-pumping stage of a series of dynamic events dedicated to the Motor Valley’s car manufacturers.

As always, the city of Modena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will be the ideal setting of the Motor Valley Fest and it will host the works of art, the exhibitions, the pop-up events and themed meetings within its squares, palaces and museums for locals and visitors to enjoy. Situated on the Via Emilia, the city of Modena, with its own history and artistic excellence, will continue to host the Motor Valley Fest’s Expo.

The expo’s scientific-technology conferences and panels are already confirmed, such as the inaugural conference and the in-depth round tables, with the participation of global leaders from the automotive industry as well as the “Innovation & Talents” sessions featuring a select group of start-ups and Italian and international universities.

Among the news of the 2021 edition, there will be a program of dedicated sessions and activities focused on sustainability and the world of electric mobility, featuring renowned international automotive brands.

Il Concours d’Elégance Trofeo Salvarola Terme nasce nel 2000 con lo scopo di promuovere i gioielli del Modenese: i tesori della tavola, dall’Aceto Balsamico al Parmigiano Reggiano, dal Lambrusco ai salumi.

Le bellezze architettoniche, naturalistiche ed artistiche di quella che fu una grande signoria Rinascimentale. Le eccellenze produttive, dal tessile alla ceramica. Il benessere che solo le Terme sanno concedere.
Ed il “fil rouge” (è proprio il colore giusto) che diventa Cicerone di questa terra è l’emozionante rombo dei motori.

In fondo nella storia dell’automobilismo, che con rispetto da 16 anni esploriamo, c’è tanta italianità: l’amore per le cose belle, unito al pragmatismo che le vuol veder funzionare bene. La ricerca di soluzioni più efficaci, più innovative. La sfida ai più grandi, per diventarlo, un giorno, con la fatica e con l’ingegno. La passione, sopra ogni altra cosa.

Crediamo che in questi anni qualche appassionato di motori si sia entusiasmato ai tortellini, e magari viceversa. Crediamo che più di qualcuno, nel vivere tante emozioni, tutte insieme, si sia sentito orgoglioso di questo lembo d’Italia. Speriamo che tanti altri vengano, a sfilare fra collina e pianura, ad ammirare i Musei, ad assaggiare le cose buone, a lasciarsi accogliere con calore. E che ripartano un po’ a malincuore, desiderosi di ritornare nella Terra delle Rosse.

The Festival of Speed is the largest motoring garden party in the world – a unique summer weekend that brings together an impossibly heady mix of cars, stars and motorsport ‘royalty’ to create the largest car culture event in the world. Join us for all or select one of the four exhilarating days below.

Saturday, 19th June 1993, was a momentous day for Goodwood: it was the opening day of the very first Festival of Speed, aimed at bringing motorsport back to this historically important venue. No barriers, no wire fences, a paddock open to tall, and a Hillclimb that snaked to the top of Goodwood Park. From the beginning, it was ‘the garden party of the Gods’.

On the manicured lawns of an English stately home, the tranquil sophistication of a summer garden party is shattered by a piercing wail as a Formula One car screeches up the front drive, wreathed in tyre smoke. It’s an unforgettable experience: a visceral assault on the senses; an intoxicating display of speed and power; a unique joining of the past, present and future of automotive.

Welcome to the Festival of Speed.

The first edition of the Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti took place in 1947 as a pure speed race; today, the Coppa d’Oro is a classic regularity race for vintage cars, manufactured until 1971. It entered history thanks to the particularity and charm of the circuit inserted in the unique scenario of the Dolomites, UNESCO World Heritage. The Concours d’Elegance will be launched for the 2020 edition, in which the cars entered in the event will be able to participate – a technical jury will award the 3 winning cars.
