Historic Minardi Day

Since 2016, the Minardi family has been organising the Historic Minardi Day at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola. The event was created for enthusiasts, with collectors at its centre, who have the opportunity to access the most exclusive areas of the track including the Paddock, garage, terrace and grandstands. They’ll experience two days of international motorsport among incredible cars that have made their mark on the history of motorsport.

The action-packed 2024 edition, scheduled for Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th August, will be the eighth time the event has run. During the seven previous editions, several hundred cars took turns on the track, recounting over 50 years of international motorsport: From the 1952 Bristol Cooper T20, 1953 Maserati A6GCM Interim, 1954 Maserati 250 F and 1959 Cooper Maserati T51 up to the Toro Rosso STR03 with which Sebastian Vettel won his first grand prix in 2008.

The event has also borne witness to the Minardis, Ferraris, Williams FW14s, McLarens, Tyrrells, the Tecno F1, the Wolf WR7, the Mercedes F1, the Theodore TR1, the Fittipaldi F8, the Arrows, the Fondmetal, and several Jaguars.

Many great drivers have frequented the event too: Riccardo Patrese, Emanuele Pirro, Gianni Morbidelli, Pierluigi Martini, Thierry Boutsen, Laurent Redon, Arturo Merzario, Siegfried Stohr, Giancarlo Fisichell and Jarno Trulli have all made an appearance. Famous engineer attendees included Aldo Costa, Gabriele Tredozi and Laurent Mekies, Luca Badoer; the young Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Brando Badoer, Lorenzo Patrese, Enzo Trulli and Alister Yoong.

The intense program on the track is complemented by the ACI Storico Festival with the "Terre di Romagna" rally scheduled for Sunday, awards ceremonies and talks and documentaries in the conference room. There is also a fun area offering the chance to test your mettle with professional simulators and much, much more.
