This year, the Donington Historic Festival is celebrating its 80th anniversary on May 3-5, 2013 and has a special treat in store: A one-off Grand Prix is being organized for pre-war cars to bring racing cars such as the Alfa Romeo 8C, Auto Union Type C or D or Alfa Romeo P3 back to life.

So spectators can truly relive impressions from back then!
