On January 17, Riccardo Paterni represented RPM at the 30th anniversary of the Prato Classic Wheels Club, an event that brought together over 270 participants in a historic location, a symbol of the passion, expertise, and legacy of Italian and international motorsports.
The 30th Anniversary: A Celebration of Motorsport
The event was a high-profile occasion, with a special lunch enriched by stories, anecdotes, and experiences shared by key figures who have shaped the history of motorsports and Formula 1. Among those in attendance were Ivan Capelli and Thierry Boutsen, drivers who represent a globally recognized sporting and cultural heritage. It was an occasion that confirmed how motorsport is about people, stories, and relationships, as well as results on the track.
The Role of the Prato Classic Wheels Club
Over three decades of activity, the Prato Classic Wheels Club has established itself as a reference point for enthusiasts, professionals, and companies. It not only protects and promotes classic cars, but also creates opportunities for discussion and networking, with the aim of fostering dialogue between generations, technical expertise, and regions linked to Italian motoring excellence.
RPM and a Shared Development Path
Riccardo Paterni's participation is part of a process already underway between RPM and the Club. On November 5th, a special edition of the High Performance Coffee Club took place in Prato, in the spaces of the Classic Wheels Club. On that occasion, the Tuscan Motor Valley project was explored in depth, a project created to connect local excellence and enhance skills and expertise not only in motorsports but also in high-tech sectors such as automotive, aviation, aerospace, and defense. The HPCC journey will continue in spring 2026 with a new event at the Passo della Futa Restaurant, a symbolic location between Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany, designed to strengthen the dialogue between the two Motor Valleys under the banner of Made in Italy and teamwork as a lever for international competitiveness.
