Newport - the Birthplace of American Racing

Saturday | October 19, 2024

Join world renowned restorer, historian and enthusiast Evan Ide as he chats with Donald Osborne about the little-known story of racing in Rhode Island and Newport at the beginning of the 20th century.

In the gallery you will see some of the machines that made history as they and their intrepid owners helped to create motor racing in America at the dawn of the automobile. Rolling symbols of speed, endurance and daring, vibrant survivors of over 120 years of redefining the emerging motor vehicle.

If you think high performance and record speeds are a modern development, you will be surprised and amazed to discover what the world of avid motorist and racer Willie K. Vanderbilt and friends meant to automotive competition and development.

The Audrain Concours and Motor Week draws to a conclusion on Sunday October 6th, 2024!
