After 21 years, the Club is returning to Columbus, Ohio and the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the 2016 International Meet! We enthusiastically invite you and your family to join us in Columbus, Ohio from June 18-22, 2016 for this magnificent set of events. Come enjoy our hospitality and one of the most technically challenging race tracks in the country.
Meet Theme: Honoring the 275 and its 50th Anniversary in 2016.
Host hotel: Columbus Hilton Polaris, 614-885-1600. They are taking reservations now. Tell them you are with the FCA to get a discount and be in our room block.
Mercato: Present at various events at the host hotel, Concours, and maybe the track as well. Members can buy parts, accessories, clothing, books, art work, and specialty items related to all things Ferrari from a variety of vendors.
Concours: Sunday June 19, at Brookside Golf and Country Club in Columbus, Ohio. We are partnering with Ronald McDonald House and will open to an exclusive public audience for the first time in Club history. We are expecting over 800 people in total.

Members will enjoy a buffet lunch in the Club House; RMH guests will enjoy lunch under a tent by the display of cars.

We expect 100-200 participants to enjoy a rally to remember through Central Ohio and Amish country. We’ll have a second goody bag with special treats for the participants.
