The Paddock to Debut as New Highlight of Monterey Car Week
MONTEREY, Calif., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Paddock is set to make its inaugural appearance on Friday, August 15, 2025, at Bayonet Black Horse, on the Monterey Peninsula. Amidst the bustling schedule of Monterey Car Week, The Paddock offers a fresh, accessible venue for a diverse array of vintage, classic, race & rally, and exotic vehicles, providing a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere away from the downtown crowds.
Tanya Kosta, Chairman of the event, commented: "For years, Concorso Italiano has offered a non-Italian marque display, and now, our parent company International Car Week is offering an expanded version through The Paddock where owners of European, Japanese, American, and other automotive pedigrees can display their prized vehicles. This new platform allows us to embrace a wider range of car enthusiasts and showcase a richer diversity of automotive excellence."
Attendees can enhance their car week experience by renting one of the limited culinary VIP cabanas, perfect for friends, families, car clubs and other groups to gather while enjoying cars and music. These exclusive spaces can be customized with amenities such as food service and a private bar, providing a perfect gathering spot to socialize and enjoy the show in comfort.
Clarence Habovstak, Director of Business Development, shared his excitement about upcoming developments: "We are on the brink of announcing some thrilling additions to The Paddock that will truly enhance the experience for our attendees. Over the next few weeks, we will unveil several specialty displays and unique features that are sure to excite automotive enthusiasts and collectors alike."
Among the early show highlights, Presenting Sponsor Saleen will hold their 25th anniversary celebration of the S7 at The Paddock, gathering several dozen owners and their vehicles in an expansive display on the show field.
Joining the excitement at The Paddock will be RADwood, the premier 80s and 90s automotive lifestyle event celebrating music, fashion, and all things "RAD." Created in 2017 as a gathering for friends in the San Francisco Bay area, RADwood quickly became a success thanks to a community of passionate enthusiasts and the power of social media.
"We are stoked to participate in The Paddock's inaugural Monterey Car Week event with a curated display of the best the RADwood era has to offer. This will include a live DJ, to set the vibe, and many icons including supercars, domestics, and imports alike," said Art Cervantes, co-founder and Director of RADwood. RADwood is more than just a vehicle display. Everyone is encouraged to dress in period-correct attire, and to flaunt their memorabilia. Vehicles from 1980-1999 are welcome to apply for this special showcase at the core of The Paddock event.
Keeping the event accessible is also a priority for the organizers. The ticket prices for The Paddock are set to be affordable, encouraging families to attend and support the "Take a kid to a car show" initiative, which aims to foster a love for automotive culture among younger generations.

A 1,000-year-old castle near Milan has listed for $4.16M — centuries-old frescoes included
A 1,000-year-old Italian castle once designed for war is now courting peace — and a buyer. The sprawling 102,257-square-foot estate, located in the town of Landriano about 15 miles south of Milan, has hit the market for roughly $4.16 million. Originally built in the early 11th century as a military stronghold for the noble Landriani family, the fortress underwent a dramatic shift in the 1500s after it was acquired by the aristocratic Taverna family. Advertisement They softened its defensive edges, removing towers and battlements and infused the interiors with Renaissance flair. 6 A sprawling 1,000-year-old castle just 15 miles south of Milan, Italy is on the market for about $4.16 million. Italy Sotheby's International Realty 6 Originally built in the early 11th century as a military fortress for the noble Landriani family, the 102,257-square-foot estate in Landriano was transformed into an elegant Renaissance residence by the powerful Taverna family in the 16th century, complete with frescoes and ornamental flourishes. Italy Sotheby's International Realty Advertisement 'With the Taverna family, it became an elegant Renaissance home with frescoes — less severe and more for receptions,' Diletta Giorgolo of Italy Sotheby's International Realty, which began marketing the property at the end of July, told Mansion Global. Today, remnants of that transformation remain visible in the castle's vaulted porticoes and walls still adorned with centuries-old frescoes. A white stucco exterior and red-tiled roof encircle a central courtyard, anchoring the estate's architectural symmetry. 6 Abandoned by the 19th century, the castle was restored in the early 20th and has remained privately owned since the 1980s. Italy Sotheby's International Realty Advertisement 6 While the current owners never completed a full renovation, the castle still features original Renaissance frescoes, 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and a central courtyard framed by a pointed arch portico. Italy Sotheby's International Realty Though once abandoned in the 19th century, the castle was brought back to life in the early 20th and has been privately owned ever since. The current sellers, whose identities remain undisclosed, acquired the property in the 1980s but never completed a full restoration. The structure, while grand in scale, is in need of significant work. The listing notes 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Advertisement Despite its renovation needs, the property offers substantial potential. 6 Set on 1.2 acres, the romantic property could serve as a hotel or foundation headquarters. Italy Sotheby's International Realty 6 Its location — close to Milan, Liguria, major airports and bordering countries — also makes it viable as a private residence, according to listing agent Diletta Giorgolo of Italy Sotheby's International Realty. Italy Sotheby's International Realty Giorgolo suggested it could be converted into a boutique hotel or a foundation headquarters, citing its sheer size and strategic location. 'It's ideal because you're close to the city, but you're already on the way down to the seaside [region of Liguria],' she told the outlet. 'It's also an easy reach from the airport and Germany, Switzerland and Austria, so it's centrally located.' She added, 'It's a very romantic place.'

Tether Leads 30M-Euro Investment Round in Spanish Crypto Exchange Bit2Me
Leading stablecoin issuer Tether has acquired a minority stake in Spanish crypto exchange Bit2Me, leading a 30 million-euro ($35 million) investment round to support the exchange's growth in Europe and Latin America. Bit2Me said it recently became the first Spanish-speaking fintech to be authorized by Spain's securities regulator under the EU's new MiCA framework. The approval opens the door for operations across the European Union. Tether's investment comes through its El Salvador-based venture arm, Tether Ventures, which deploys profits and reserves into tech infrastructure and other projects. The firm has invested in numerous companies in a wide range of industries. These include Italian football club Juventus, major Latin American producer Adecoagro, blockchain forensics firm Crystal Intelligence, YouTube competitor Rumble, and gold-focused investment firm Elemental Altus. Bit2Me plans to use the funding to deepen its reach in Latin America, particularly Argentina, where demand for crypto services continues to grow and where it received a Virtual Asset Service Provider license last year. 'We're excited to support their role in developing regulated crypto-asset services in Europe and beyond,' Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said in a statement. Bit2Me is already backed by Telefónica and other major Spanish institutions. These, according to a press release shared with CoinDesk, include banking giants like Unicaja, BBVA, and Cecabank. Other terms of the deal, including the exact size of Tether's stake and Bit2Me's new valuation, were not disclosed.
