“It is entirely appropriate that this celebration is held at
Donington Park because Maseratis have been racing
there since the circuit opened in the 1930s. Later the
track became the host to the annual Shell Ferrari
Maserati Challenge and now the cars will return from
all over Europe for the Donington Historic Festival. As
more and more of these valuable cars are consigned to
private collections and museums, this will be a rare op‐
portunity to see a grid of cars from the 1930s to the
1960s all powered by engines built by Maserati or
OSCA.”
Donington Historic Festival founder Duncan Wiltshire
said, “is will be a fantastic race for spectators and
drivers alike. To see a dedicated grid of historic models
such as the 8CM, 250F, A6GCS and 300S out on track
is something Festival visitors will never forget. It is par‐
ticularly pleasing that Motor Racing Legends is working
with the oldest Maserati club in the world to commem‐
orate the marque’s anniversary in this way. e Maserati
Club UK’s knowledge is an invaluable resource in or‐
ganising such an event.”
