Grand Prix Cars

The HGPCA celebrates the glamour period of Grand Prix cars, revisiting the great rivalries of five decades - spanning artisan-crafted two-seater Bugattis of the 1920s to the exquisite 1.5-litre ‘cigar tubes’ of 1961-’65.

ABOUT THE GRID

The HGPCA story revisits the great rivalries of five decades. It also replays the inter-marque battles between cars with supercharged and naturally-aspirated engines at the birth of the Formula One World Championship in 1950, and its subsequent 2.5-litre era which saw the naissance of new-fangled chassis with engines behind their drivers - an advance pioneered by Auto Union pre-war.
