Cast your vote now for Motor Sport’s Race Car of the Century
What is the greatest racing car of the past 100 years? See which machines are on the shortlist and have your say
To mark Motor Sport’s 100th anniversary, we have chosen the foremost racing cars of each decade, from the 1920s to 2010s, to give a shortlist of 10 so we can name the best of the best – the finest racer in the history of this publication. This is where you, the readers, come in. We need your votes!
The voting poll is open! Now it’s time for you, the readers of Motor Sport, to decide on your choice of Race Car of the Century, as the centrepiece of our 100th anniversary celebrations this summer.
As regular readers will have noticed in recent issues of the magazine, we’ve narrowed down the choice by nominating 10 cars – one for each decade since Motor Sport’s founding in 1924.
Our profiles of these 10 cars are completed in this month’s edition with entries representing the 1990s (Subaru’s Prodrive-built Impreza rally car), 2000s (Audi’s five-time Le Mans-winning R8 Prototype) and 2010s (Red Bull’s RB9, in which Sebastian Vettel completed a run of four consecutive F1 world championships).
The full choice, as seen in the pictures here, includes cars from a variety of series, reflecting the rich diversity represented in the pages of Motor Sport over the past century. This may spark much debate among readers, as it did – at length – on the editorial desk when we compiled the shortlist.
Once your votes are cast, the winning Race Car of the Century will be announced at our gala centenary event to be held at the Dorchester Hotel in London on July 2. You can read more about each of the cars nominated on our website.
Voting closes in May so if you want your voice heard head to motorsportmagazine.com and make your choice now!
Grand Prix Trust
Motor Sport is pleased to have teamed up with the Grand Prix Trust as our official charity partner for our centenary celebrations. The trust is involved in invaluable work helping support those who have worked within the wider Formula 1 world when things go wrong. Joe Dunn, editor of Motor Sport, said: “The Grand Prix Trust does fantastic work – including with some who are close to this magazine. We already have some exciting plans together in the works.”
