MODENA CENTO ORE

International Race for classic cars

THE COMPETITION

The Modena Cento Ore is the only competition in Italy, and one of the few in the world, where the drivers get to challenge one another both on the racetrack and on special stages on roads closed to normal traffic: a thrilling combination of a rally and speed on the racetrack, made even more exciting by the starting grid at the departure.

 
An international race for classic cars; an exhilarating combination of marvellous cars and gentlemen drivers from all around the world who come here to enjoy a uniquely Italian experience, combining the adrenalin rush of competition with the delights of Italian hospitality, and the chance to explore the country on route.
 

COAST TO COAST

This year, the Modena Cento Ore will be held from Sunday, October 2nd, to Thursday, October 7th, with an itinerary crossing Italy from east to west, from Adriatic sea to Mugello; crews will taking up the gauntlet for six days on the most beautiful routes through Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany: from Milano Marittima to Florence, and Modena, with the final arrival and podium in Piazza Grande.

 
Three races on the track at the legendary circuits at Imola, Mugello, and Misano where an
exhilarating night-time race has been arranged; 11 hill climbs on roads closed to normal traffic and 1 super special stage on the track at Modena: a winning combination of a rally and speed on the racetrack.
 

REGULARITY

There will also be a ‘regularity’ stage held after the speed trials, following the same programme but with a more relaxed approach, with timed track races and average speed trials on roads closed to normal traffic: ideal for crews who would rather relax and enjoy the drive.
