Over 50 old aircraft and an equal number of pre-war open-top sports cars will compete for the honor of the win and a beautiful trophy. Over the course of three sessions the teams, each consisting of a plane and a car will have a certain route to complete, with waypoints along the way, and a specific targeted time for completion.
In addition there will be runway shows, flight demonstrations with a Catalina, a B25 Mitchell bomber, the Breitling Wing Walkers and several aerobatic performances. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will display a DC-3 Dakota and the Royal Air Force will show a North American Harvard. Bentley Motorcars will have their complete current line-up as well as some of their historically significant pre-war race cars on display.
There are all kinds of activities organized around the rally that are in keeping with the era of the planes and automobiles participating as well as demonstrations of model planes, parachutists, a drive-in for classic cars, a balloon festival and flight experiences in some of the vintage aircraft on offer.
