Have Ferrari, Will Travel

If your taste in cars tends toward fast and Italian, chances are you're a Ferrari fan. If you plan to be in the Hamptons this weekend and have an Enzo or a Testarossa in the garage, this post is for you. For some fun in the sun (for you and for your car), enter the first annual Ferrari Hamptons Rally. Taking place this Saturday, and starting at the Georgica Restaurant & Lounge, in East Hampton, the day commences with a brunch at 11, followed by a two-hour road rally that will bring Ferrari drivers through the communities of East Hampton, Amagansett, Sag Harbor and Southampton. (And far, one would presume, from memories of that morning's traffic on the L.I.E.)

The day is co-hosted by restaurant/lounge Nikki Beach Midtown and real estate entrepreneur and Ferrari collector and enthusiast Nathaniel Christian. No word yet on whether Hamptons dweller Christie Brinkley—who flirtatiously sped past Chevy Chase in a red-hot Ferrari in the Vacation movies—will be there to reprise her famous scene.

Let's Motor!

If you're feeling the need for speed, you're certainly not going to find it in a taxi on a congestion-clogged street in Manhattan. But if you've got a spare $100K lying around, you might want to consider membership in the brand-new Monticello Motor Club, a sportscar enthusiast's dream come true. Think country club meets Formula 1 and you've got a good idea of the thrills Monticello has in store when it begins putting car lovers behind the wheel of Bugattis and Ferraris this summer. Potential new members got a sneak peek on Tuesday, during a swank reception at Cipriani 42. In attendance were several members of racing's royalty, including Mario Andretti, Brian Redman and Bobby Rahal, who took to the stage for a virtual turn on the Monticello racetrack, a 3.7-mile course ninety minutes from Manhattan. Something tells us it might be time to pull out the old golf clubs and exchange them for a set of racing gloves.
