Event Description

Patriotic Pride!

It’s easy to see that The 24 Hours of Le Mans really means a lot to us. This annual event, held almost every year since 1923 is the world’s oldest (and greatest) active sports car endurance race. For the first time ever, we are going to take a deep-dive on the history of our favorite race with a three-part series. Part one, “Patriotic Pride” will focus on winners and losers from the early days.

Featuring the following Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum collection cars:

1927 Bentley 3 Litre Speed Model
1929 Stutz Supercharged Le Mans
1929 duPont Le Mans Speedster
1933 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Le Mans

Demo Day events typically stay true to the following schedule:

10:00 – Doors open
11:15 to 11:45 – Scrutineering technical learning session
12:00 to 12:30 – Demo Day discussion, Q and A with Dr. Simeone

1:00 to 2:00 – Visitors are able to inspect and photograph Demo Day cars while engaging with Simeone Museum staff and volunteers.
