Three weekends of fun for car enthusiasts
Maranello, 30th September – This November, the Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena plays host to La Festa delle Passioni, an event spread over three weekends and devoted to car enthusiasts of all kinds and more.
The event is being staged in collaboration with Maserati and organised by Passione Engadina AG, ACI Modena and the Modena City Council. It takes place over three weekends in November, each one of which will have a different theme linked to the car world. The weekends will centre around not just the Museum itself but also two other events, the Rally and Il Mercatino (market), the perfect combination to illustrate just how alive and well passion for cars is.
A hundred cars a day, both contemporary and historic, all sporting celebratory numbers and plates, will traverse the roads around Modena over the three weekends too. Participants will have to complete driving skills trials, games and other tests as well as following a specific route with the MEF as the finish. Just like a real regularity trial, the tests will be used to establish a classification. There will also be a prize-giving ceremony for the winners at the Museum on the afternoon of each day. You can enter and take part in the qualifying for the 100 places available at www.lafestadellepassioni.com. Entries are open to all – the only requirement is a valid driving licence. Each car will need and driver and a co-driver but there can be up to five people aboard (drivers included).
The rally and MEF visit aside, the Festa delle Passione will also host a “Mercatino” or market devoted entirely to car world items and merchandise. It is open to everyone: rally competitors, car enthusiasts and the merely curious. Every weekend, there will be different products and items on sale. The first weekend concentrates on model cars and simulators, the second on motoring publishing and memorabilia, and the third, because of its proximity to December, Christmas gifts for motoring enthusiasts.
