Concorso Italiano and the Monterey Motorsports Festival (MMF) are partnering during Monterey Car Week for an automotive experience across the full spectrum of car culture on Saturday, August 15, 2026, event officials stated in a press release.
Concorso Italiano
Taking place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Bayonet Black Horse Golf Course, Concorso Italiano will showcase and judge Italian automotive excellence, featuring vintage and classic automobiles, rare restorations and modern supercars. The Global Exotics section also returns with a curated selection of distinctive cars and motorcycles from around the world.
Monterey Motorsports Festival
After the Concorso Italiano ends, attendees can move to the Monterey Motorsports Festival at the Monterey County Fair & Event Center, beginning at 5 p.m. As Car Week’s closing evening event, it will feature performance-driven reveals, hypercars and supercars, live music, revving activations, vendor villages, and food and bars.
Also contributing to the collaboration is Raffaello Porro, whose background in global automotive events brings additional perspective to the partnership. “This joining creates the perfect Saturday flow: timeless Italian elegance during the day, transitioning to cutting-edge motorsports energy at night,” said Porro.
A Unique & Elevated Experience
“As MMF enters its fourth year, we aim to continue growing the event with a focus on the attendee experience,” said Paolo Manca, founder & CEO of MMF. “Partnering with Concorso Italiano allows us to deliver a unique and elevated Saturday during Car Week.”
“As Concorso approaches its 41st edition, we look forward to presenting an exceptional field and program for guests joining both events,” added Tanya Kosta, chairman of Concorso Italiano.
