The Great Race, the world’s premiere classic car rally, will bring 120 antique automobiles to Wichita on Thursday, June 29th.
The first car will roll to Riverfront Stadium starting at 4:45 p.m. The group will stay overnight here before moving to the next city.
The start of the 2023 Hemmings Motor News Great Race will be in St. Augustine, Florida, on June 24th, and the finish will be in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on July 2nd. The 9-day, 2,300-mile adventure will travel to 19 cities in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado.
Teams and cars from Japan, England, Australia, Germany, Canada, and every corner of the United States will converge in Florida in mid-June with vintage automobiles dating back as far as 1916.
The Great Race began 40 years ago. The vehicles, each with a driver and navigator, are given precise instructions each day that detail every move down to the second. They are scored at secret check points along the way and are penalized one second for each second either early or late. As in golf, the lowest score wins.
Cars start – and hopefully finish – one minute apart if all goes according to plan. Click here for more information about the Great Race.
