Donington Grand Prix Exhibition
The Donington Grand Prix Exhibition is, quite simply, the largest collection
of Grand Prix racing cars in the world. Five halls, with over 130 exhibits, illustrate
the history of motor sport from the turn of the 20th Century. Cars include examples
driven by such famous names as Nuvolari, Mansell, Prost, Moss, Senna, Fangio,
Clark and Stewart.
The Donington Grand Prix Exhibition houses the largest collection of McLaren racing cars in the world, and the only complete collection of Vanwalls. Notable exhibits include the 1936 twin engined 500 bhp Alfa Romeo Bimotore which has a top speed of 200mph, Jim Clark's World Championship winning Lotus 25, the 'howling' flat 12 Ferrari 312B, and Stirling Moss's Lotus, in which he defeated the might of the Ferrari works team in the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix.
