Description

Established in 1905, the R.A.C. Tourist Trophy is considered to be the world's oldest continuous motor race, and has a deep history and legacy to match. Legendary drivers including Nuvolari, Moss, Fitch, and Shelby have all competed, and claimed victory, in what many consider to be one of the most iconic and significant races to be held on the British Isles. As part of this Demo Day, we will also be introducing the newest entry to the Simeone Collection. In his final days Dr. Simeone purchased one last car as a surprise to our staff and guests.
