About this Event
People’s Choice Demo Day
For the first time this year, the grid is set entirely by the fans. In the weeks leading up to this Demo Day, visitors and followers voted across four legendary battlegrounds, Sebring, Le Mans, Nürburgring, and the Mille Miglia, to decide which cars would earn their place on the tarmac.
The results tell their own story. The 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe for Sebring. The 1956 Maserati 300S for Le Mans. The 1970 Porsche 917 LH for the Nürburgring. The 1954 Ferrari 375 Mille Miglia for the Mille Miglia. Each winner says something about what people value most in a great racing car, from brute speed and innovation to endurance and style.
This Demo Day is a tribute to that passion. It offers a deeper look into why these four cars captured the vote and a rare chance to see the spirit of their eras brought to life.
