MANSELL'S WORLD TITLE DOUBLE

For the first time ever, Nigel Mansell's back-to-back F1 and IndyCar title-winning cars, the Williams FW14B and the Lola T93/00, will be on display side by side together.

THE SILVERSTONE-WINNING COYOTE

Fan-favourite AJ Foyt won the only IndyCar race to ever take place at Silverstone in 1978, and his mean machine will be completing its long victory-lap return this May!

BENTLEY'S FIRST FORAY

This stunning 3-litre racing machine from 1922 was Bentley's first entry into the IndyCar series. Douglas Hawkes, the car's owner, put the UK-based car on a steamship bound for the USA - and then drove the car to Indianapolis for the race!

BRITISH TURBINE POWER

Designed to race in IndyCar and Formula 1 simultaneously, the Lotus 56 was at the forefront of racing technology and featured a gas turbine engine. Three Lotus 56's were entered in 1968, driven by Graham Hill, Joe Leonard, and Art Pollard.
