The fifth annual Motorsport Festival at the Brooklands Museum in Weybridge, Surrey, England, scheduled for Sunday, October 11, will for the first time be welcoming the 22.3-liter W12-engined Napier-Campbell Blue Bird. In 1927, on the Pendine Sands in Wales, Malcolm Campbell drove the car to a new Land Speed Record at an average 174.883mph. Even better, the Blue Bird will be run with the Napier-Railton, the all-time Brooklands lap record-holder \u2014 and a car that broke 47 world speed records between 1933 and 1937. Another highlight will be a recreation of the 1905 Fiat Land Speed Record car, powered by a genuine 16.5-liter Isotta Fraschini V6 aero engine.<\/p>\n
Visitors will also be able to enjoy a number of more modern cars, including a Ferrari 212 F1 powered by a 2500cc V12 engine, the actual car raced by Dorino Serafini at the 1951 Syracuse Grand Prix in Sicily, where it finished 2nd<\/sup>, and the Benetton B190 that Nelson Piquet drove to victory at both the Japanese GP at Suzuka and the Australian GP at Adelaide in 1990.<\/p>\n These are just a few highlights from the huge array of competition cars due to appear at the Brooklands event, including a Formula Nippon, F2, FIA GTs and Touring Cars. Advance tickets cost just \u00a311 for adults, \u00a310 for seniors\/students and \u00a36 for children aged 5-16 \u2014 while a whole family can go for \u00a330.
