With the weather alternating between storms and sudden sunshine, the 2024 edition of the Modena Cento Ore was even more challenging and exciting. The event started in Rimini and, after circuit races and special stages on closed roads, concluded in Modena, illuminated by the sun, with the cars cutting the finish line in front of the Palazzo Ducale and with the prizegiving ceremony and final party. Over the course of four days, the competing cars tackled the tough roads of the Apennines in Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany, discovering Italian gems like San Marino, Arezzo, Forlì and Florence. Adding to the spectacle races at the Misano, both daytime and nighttime, and Mugello circuits, offering a thrilling spectacle for spectators, who warmly welcomed the extraordinary cars and their crews along the streets, in town squares, and at the circuits. There isn’t a single winner at the Modena Cento Ore as it is open to cars between the 30s and the 80s, that can participate in the “Competition” or “Regularity” section. The challenge was fierce over the four days in all the categories. In the Competition category, the “pre-1965” classification (open to cars belonging to FIA periods D, E and F) was won by the 1964 AC Shelby Cobra of Swiss-German crew Michael and Peter Hinderer, followed by the 1960 Ferrari 250 Berlinetta SWB Competizione driven by Roderick and Elizabeth Jack from the UK, and the 1965 Lotus Elan 26R piloted by Martin Eyears and Amanda Stretton, also from the UK. Meanwhile, the 1975 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 RSR driven by the Italian crew Domenico Guagliardo and Giovanni Campeis claimed victory in the G/H/I classification (for cars built from 1966 onwards). Second place went to Kris Rosenberger, Austrian, and Nicola Bleicher, Bavarian, in their 1981 Porsche 911 SC, while the French Mr. John of B and Sibel took third with their 1971 Ferrari 512M, a Sport Prototype car that can be seen on Italian roads only at the Modena Cento Ore. In the special Index of Performance category, where times are adjusted using a coefficient related to the age and performance of each car, the oldest car in the competition made its mark: the 1938 BMW 328 Roadster driven by Albert Otten and Uwe Drange, both from Germany. They were followed by the “brits” Roderick and Elizabeth Jack in their stunning 1960 Ferrari 250 Berlinetta SWB Competizione, while Martin and Susanne Halusa took third in their 1952 Ferrari 212 Export. The Regularity section was just as fiercely contested: Karsten and Patricia Wohlenberg from Germany took first place in their 1972 Porsche 911 RS, followed by Peter Kappeler (Swiss) and Marie Tourneur (French) in a 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint. Third place went to Jakub and Petr Kejdus from the Czech Republic in their stunning 1967 Jaguar MK II. This year’s event once again featured a strong international presence, with the United Kingdom leading the way with over 60 participants, followed by Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Ireland, Lebanon, Portugal, Luxembourg, Czech Republic and even far-flung places like the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Mexico, Brazil and Zambia, for a total of 20 countries represented in the grids.
