The Classic Days were created in 2006 in memory of Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips, who died in an accident in Monza in 1961 .

In 2008, there was an accident between two classic cars that collided on the closed circuit. Six people were slightly injured. An international FIVA-A Concours d'Elegance has also been held since 2008 . The jury in 2010 was made up of, among others, Caroline Bugatti , Jutta Benz, the great-granddaughter of Carl and Bertha Benz , and Simeon Graf Wolff-Metternich .

On January 29, 1886, Carl Benz submitted the motor vehicle patent for his three-wheeled vehicle . In 2011, the 125-year history of today's automobile was commemorated on the occasion of this . As in the previous year, Jutta Benz was present to celebrate this “technological and cultural-historical founding moment that continues to move the world today”.
