There are some exciting new developments for the 5th Modena Cento Ore Classic to be held from 19 to 22 June 2004, starting from and returning to Modena as in previous years.

This exciting regularity and speed race for historic cars will be held over a completely renewed course with circuit races on the Mugello, Misano and Magione race tracks, including the traditional appointment at the Ferrari test track at Fiorano.

While the Speed section will take into account the special stages and circuit races as usual, there are new elements in the regularity section: as well as the elegance competition, there will be a greater number of time stages and higher average speed will be allowed in the circuit trials.

Another novelty for next year's event will be the creation of a new section entitled "Collectors Meeting", reserved to no more than 20-25 classic and sports cars, divided into the following classes:

- Class A Rally cars from 1965 to 1990 With competition history and in their race livery.
- Class B Ferrari 550 Maranello Barchetta
- Class C Bugatti Tipo 35
- Class D Maserati Quattroporte
- Class E Ferrari 288GTO-F40-F50-Enzo
- Class F Rally cars with Martini Racing Team livery

This new section has been created to meet the needs of participants on a tighter schedule who do not want to get involved with racing licenses, chronometers and homologation fiches, to allow them to take full part in the Modena Cento Ore Classic, over the same course (including race tracks) but only for the first two days. Hospitality has been arranged for these participants (for two persons per entered car) in superior category hotels only at advantageous rates, thanks to the generosity of some sponsors.
