A new redisplay in the Jackson Shed will bring the story of Britain’s first Grand Prix of 1926 to life, showing how the race began a century of engineering ambition and sporting innovation. Visitors will get to explore original objects and stories from over a century of Grand Prix history and how it has evolved through the decades. 

Calling all budding design engineers. Do you have an idea for what a Grand Prix car could look like in the next 100 years? Design your future racing car and your design could be included in the new Grand Prix exhibition!
