THE HISTORIC MINARDI DAY CELEBRATES ITS TENTH ANNIVERSARY AND REVS UP THE ENGINES: ON SEPTEMBER 19 AND 20 IMOLA RETURNS AS THE CAPITAL OF HISTORIC MOTORSPORT. REGISTRATION FOR THE CARS IS NOW OPEN. ADVANCE TICKET SALES ARE ON THE TICKETONE WEBSITE

The Historic Minardi Day has reached a prestigious milestone and is getting ready to celebrate its tenth edition. On Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2026, Imola’s Enzo and Dino Ferrari International Circuit will host one of the most eagerly awaited events for fans of motoring, confirming that it is European hub for all those wishing to experience up close the cars that wrote the history of international Motorsport.

Conceived by the Minardi family in 2016, the Historic Minardi Day has grown year by year becoming a one-of-a-kind event that brings together legendary cars, racing drivers, collectors, teams and thousands of fans from all of Italy and abroad.

The tenth edition comes after a record breaking 2025 that drew more than 20,000 people, more than 700 participating cars and more than two million interactions on the social media channels, figures that bear witness to the event’s continual growth and the strong interest of the public in a now well-established format.

Even 2026 will retain the format that proclaimed the Historic Minardi Day’s success by offering spectators an immersive experience that is hard for other events to replicate. Tickets (dally-subscription-VIP, the latter reserved for those aged 16 and over, with access to Pit-Lane +1 pass for entry into the VIP area with a view of the track and exclusive merchandising) will in fact allow entry not only to the grandstands, but also to the most exclusive areas of the Imola Circuit, allowing fans to experience the two days as protagonists and in close touch with the cars and drivers.

Once again, the absolute stars will be the Formula 1 racing cars that wrote important pages of the history of the World Championship, alongside prestigious cars from the ACI Storico Festival – Rally of the Romagna, and from Formula 2, Formula 3, GP2, Formula 3000, historic GT cars, prototypes, supercars and the not to be missed track day sessions which offer the owners the chance to experience the excitement of driving around the Imola track.

Furthermore, the most eagerly awaited moments will include the traditional group photo with the drivers and the key figures  of the event and the Pit Walk, a unique opportunity which will allow the public to walk along pit lane and to see up close the cars and the teams taking part in the weekend.

Over the coming months we will reveal the guests, the programmes and the many initiatives which will make the tenth anniversary even more special, while maintaining the spirit that has always characterized the event: taking history back to the track and to share it with the public.

The weekend will be further enhanced by a packed programme of entertainment in the paddock and the conference room with presentations of books, driving simulators, models, motoring memorabilia, LEGO® exhibitions and many other initiatives for fans and families.

 “Ten years ago, we started with the idea of bringing extraordinary cars back to the track and to allow the fans to experience them up close. Year after year, the Historic Minardi Day has grown beyond all expectations, while keeping its original spirit intact. Last year’s success made us proud, and it inspired us to make the tenth edition even more special. It will be a huge celebration dedicated to the history of Motorsport, and all those who, during these ten years, believed in our plan,” commented the Minardi family.

In this way, the Historic Minardi Day continues to distinguish itself for its simple yet successful philosophy: to not merely limit itself to displaying cars of extraordinary historic value, but to bring  them back to the track, in their natural habitat, allowing the fans to admire them, to hear the roar of their engines, and to experience first-hand the authentic atmosphere of the competitions.

Registration is now open for the cars wishing to take part in the event. All the information and the forms are available on the official website www.minardiday.it.

Tickets are also available for advance purchase on the TicketOne platform (https://www.ticketone.it/artist/historic-minardi-day/).

The event will therefore take place on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September at Imola’s Enzo and Dino Ferrari International Circuit to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Historic Minardi Day, two days dedicated to the history, passion and the excitement that only motorsport can give.
