10 Michael O'Shea, Racing Co-Ordinator for the Maserati Club UK, said: “e Maserati Centenary Trophy is the realisation of the Maserati Club UK’s ambition to hold such a special race in Britain to celebrate 100 years of Maserati. e challenge of marking this important oc‐ casion was taken up by Motor Racing Legends and the venue will be the magnificent Donington Park circuit during the Donington Historic Festival. Motoring News LINCOLN CONTINUES SUPPORT OF ARTS AS SIGNATURE SPONSOR OF TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL “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.” Advance tickets on sale e Donington Historic Festival offers world-class his‐ toric motorsport at family-friendly prices, with advance ticket discounts making the price of entry even more friendly.
