The best vintage and historic motor sport in the planet only has two more weeks left before the grand opening of the GP100 at SeeRed begins! I visited the site www.vscc.co.uk where I searched for some updates about this ground-breaking event. There are discounted tickets on the opening day according to the article that I read from the site. The action packed GP100 at SeeRed will commence at Donington Park. The celebration is about the first century of Grand Prix Racing.

Highlights of this entry include:

• Twenty Edwardian Racing Cars, don’t miss this one off event!
• Fifteen pre-war Bugattis racing for the Williams Trophy Race with other special cars such as Alfa Romeo P3, Aston Martin and Frazer Nash Nurburg.
• The ex Hans Reusch Alfa Romeo 8C-35 in which he won the 1936 Donington Grand Prix with Richard Seaman competing in the Historic Seaman Race
• Thirty One cars competing in the race for 1.5 litre Formula One cars built before 1966 including ex Formula One driver, Richard Atwood in a BRM P261.
• Twenty Four Formula One cars from the 1967 – 1984 period competing with the Thoroughbred Grand Prix car championship.

In addition to the Grand Prix car action, thrilling support races will complete a stunning weekend of on track action. These grids include:

• The British Racing Drivers Club 1950s Sports Car Race, the final race of their 2006 championship which features Mark Gillies driving Rodney Smith’s Maserati 300S, fresh from the Goodwood Revival and Hubert Fabri’s exquisite Aston Martin DB3S amongst others
• The ex Bob MacIntyre Matchless and 1948 Swiss Grand Prix Velocette in the two Lansdowne Motor Cycle Races, surpasses anything else that will be seen in historic motorcycle racing anywhere in the world!
• Sports Racing Masters competing in a 1 hour race including Shaun Lynn and Chris Ball driving Ford GT40s, and Julian Bronson in a 1965 McLaren MB1 with other fiery endurance racers from the 1961-1965 era
