The classes were: La Dolce Vita, Peace & Love, Sex On The Beach, Ferrari Tribute To Le Mans 2023, Porsche 75th Anniversary, Supercar, Rally Queen, and Something Special. In addition to the class awards were several sponsor awards and of course the Best of Show Award, which went to the Ferrari 340 MM with Monza body, owned by the same gentleman Roberto Crippa for over 24 years.
