About us
Emerson Fittipaldi, a two-time Formula 1 World Champion and a two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, once again chairs Key Biscayne Car Week. As a Key Biscayne resident, Emerson, and his team are working toward creating the most memorable automotive gathering on the planet.
In 1984, Ralph Sanchez – a longtime Miami motorsports promoter and founder of Homestead-Miami Speedway -- coaxed Fittipaldi out of retirement to drive for him in the Miami Grand Prix. The two-time Formula One champion (1972, 1974), Fittipaldi, agreed to compete in the race and won the pole position before a transmission problem knocked the Spirit of Miami out of contention.
On December 16th, as the opener of the Concours D’ Elegance Key Biscayne, Emerson Fittipaldi will drive the legendary Lotus Evija, on the streets of South Florida for the first time since the he won the F1 Championship of 1972
This year, a portion of the proceeds will benefit The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis and Eternity & Grace.
