What Is The Carolina Trophy?
The Carolina Trophy is the first
North American vintage road rally in
the grand European tradition. Taking place over five
days and based out of historic Asheville, North
Carolina, the Carolina Trophy is a competitive TSD and
regularity trial in the spirit of the Mille
Miglia Retrospective, Alpine Rallye
and Three Castles Trial.
Imagine an event that captures the true spirit of semi-competitive
motoring in the classic sense of the term. An event
that combines road rally stages, long distance
regularity trials and a Concours d’Elegance,
all set in a gracious social atmosphere and elegant
accommodations. Imagine driving your classic motorcar
the way it was meant to be driven, on challenging
mountain roadways amidst breathtaking scenery and
incomparable natural beauty. Imagine motoring through
charming mountain towns where the local residents line
the roadways to cheer you on, and the camaraderie of
like-minded enthusiasts, piloting classic motorcars
from Ferrari, Aston-Martin, Porsche, Jaguar, Maserati,
Austin-Healey, Ford, Lancia, MG, Bentley and more, all
headquartered in one of North America’s most unique
and luxurious resorts.

The world famous Donington Grand Prix
Collection, with over 130 exhibits, the
largest collection of Grand Prix racing cars
in the world, will play a key role in the GPlive event
at Donington Park in May. In addition to its five
halls packed with treasures, a special “Donington
Dozen” display in the paddock will feature twelve of
the Collection’s most iconic cars. On the track, the
museum will also help stage a recreation of one of the
most exciting British Grand Prix races ever.
The Collection will help GPlive
celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the victory by
Stirling Moss in the 1957 British Grand Prix at
Aintree. It was the first-ever World Championship race
to be won by a British car driven by a British driver,
and as the Donington Collection’s reconstruction at
GPlive will demonstrate, it was due to a selfless
piece of teamwork by Moss’s Vanwall team-mate Tony
Brooks, who handed over his car to Moss, after
Stirling’s had developed engine trouble.

Since 2004, Classic Endurance Racing has for one hour
put onto the track the cars which wrote the pages of
endurance racing between 1966 & 1974.
The 2007 calendar will, as in 2004 & 2005 be
inclued in the Le Mans Series programme. The 2007
calendar include the following races:
13, 14 & 15 April - For the cars of CER, the
return to Monza
signifies a return to home as the Milan circuit is a
must in the endurance racing field. To recall the
season on the track when on that day in 1966 the Monza
1000km was born, where epic duel between Ford and
Ferrari is without doubt a pleasure which the CER
drivers did not believe they would see again after
last years ‘Green’ episode where the superb noise
of these dream cars seemed to have disappeared forever
from the parc of Monza.
