Cavallino Classic 2013 Information

The Palm Beach Cavallino Classic 2013 will be held January 22-27 at the Breakers Resort Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida. Celebrating its 22nd anniversary in 2013, this six-day gathering for Ferrari owners and enthusiasts will see participants and their 400 Ferraris attending from the U.S. and Europe.

The first major event of the convention is the 2nd Annual Cavallino Classic Competition, a two-day track meet at Palm Beach International Raceway on Thursday and Friday, January 24th and 25th. A select field of competition Ferraris, Maseratis, Alfa Romeos and Bugattis will revive memories of past and present glory, as their owners drive these historic machines again on the 11-turn, 2.043 mile race track. The track days offer owners of these historic race cars the opportunity to compete against other owners in a controlled racing environment.

The high point of Cavallino Classic 2013 is the Concorso d’Eleganza on the front lawn of the Breakers Resort Hotel, on Saturday, January 26th. A field of 150 immaculate Ferrari automobiles are judged by leading international experts for originality and elegance, for Class Awards and the important Major Cups, along with the Cavallino Cup for Best in Show. In honor of Sergio Pininfarina, the 2013 Classic will have a Display Class of Ferraris both designed and custom built by Pinin Farina, to 1966.
