What to expect

Racing Meeting is the dedicated motorsport and racing culture event that brings the adrenaline of historic and modern competition back to Padua, hosted in the halls of PadovaFiere. What to expect is two full days of pure racing passion, where rally legends, circuit cars, single-seaters, motorcycles, memorabilia and technology meet under one roof. The event is designed as a meeting point for drivers, teams, collectors, preparators, clubs and fans who live for motorsport in all its forms.

The format blends exhibition with live action. You will find tribute areas dedicated to iconic championships such as the Memorial Bettega, historic rally cars, endurance prototypes, Formula cars, GT machines and off-road racers, alongside stands offering components, safety equipment, racing apparel, timing systems and restoration services. Unlike a static car show, Racing Meeting is built around storytelling: drivers who made history, mechanics who transformed ordinary cars into racing giants, and artisans who continue to preserve Italy’s extraordinary racing heritage. The paddock atmosphere is recreated indoors, with clubs and racing teams presenting their projects, calendars and recruitment for upcoming seasons.

Organized with the spirit of Auto e Moto d’Epoca, which was founded in Padua more than thirty years ago as a vintage car market and grew into Europe’s largest vintage automotive event with more than 730 exhibitors representing 2000 brands from 50 countries, Racing Meeting inherits that community and focuses it entirely on competition. Expect close-up encounters with race cars, driver meet-and-greets, technical talks, and a vibrant market for racing cars for sale, spares and collectibles.
