 We are excited to announce that Brian Redman and his wife, Marion will be joining us on this year’s tour.  Brian brings with him his experience of racing and winning in all forms of major racing in some of the world’s fastest racing cars.  His in-depth knowledge of the cars, the drivers and the history of the sport will add tremendous insight.  Those of you who have enjoyed listening to Brian at any of his public events will know that he will provide us great commentary and humor during the tour.  Welcome aboard, Brian.

 This event runs every two years and it has become the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ for both racers and fans alike.  The Monaco Historics has grown from being a ‘private members’ event to an important part of the European race calendar.  Where else can you see historic race cars, being pushed to the limit, no quarter asked and no quarter given. To mix this kind of racing with a venue such as Monaco is in a word, ‘spectacular’.

Monaco Historics offers an experience that will never be forgotten.  We mix great hotels, the finest restaurants, include weekend highlights and most of all bring you the event in true Monaco fashion – first class. You’ll view the races from our VIP private suite with additional seating available in the Grandstand.  Gourmet snacks, lunch and afternoon tea is served with an all day open bar.  Along with Brian we’ll enjoy visits by other international race drivers plus up-dates and interviews with famous TV announcer, ex F1 driver and race car guru Alain de Cadenet who with Brian will include an in-depth tour of the racing paddock.  In the evenings you’ll enjoy the ambiance of Monte Carlo and some of its finest dining.

 Following four days in Monaco we depart for the relative peace of the Italian Riviera and the ritzy Portofino coastline. We relax and wind down in this ‘millionaires playground’. Slated we have a short cruise and a visit to the Cinque Terre; visits to Camogli and Santa Margherita; and dinner in the famous Portofino harbor.  It’s then back to the cars.

An en route visits to Maranello (Ferrari) and the Maserati Collection at Modena. Our final days are on Lake Garda and include a lake cruise, cocktails and canapés before a full day in Brescia to view the entrants for the Mille Miglia.  In the evening we view the cars departing the city from a private restaurant along the route. aximum 25 persons
