BAHAMAS SPEED WEEK REVIVAL 30 Nov - 4 Dec 2011

The original Nassau Speed Weeks took place from 1954 to 1966 and
featured many of the great racing drivers of the period. Following a gruelling
race season they took the opportunity to combine racing and relaxation in
the sun.

Iconic race cars such as the Ferrari GTO, Maserati Birdcage, Chevrolet
Grand Sport, Chaparral, AC Cobra and Ford GT40 were driven by stars
including Roger Penske, Dan Gurney, Bruce McLaren, Mario Andretti, Pedro
Rodriguez, Mark Donohue, Phil Hill, A. J. Foyt and Stirling Moss.
The First Speed Week Revival will cover five days and include a Revival
Island Tour, Street Course Demonstration, Drag Racing, Concours
d’Elegance, Road Show, Fashion Show and Charity Ball.

from 30th November to 4th December 2011. The intention is to invite fifty
Race Cars of the type which graced the original events supported by a

they visit the Island’s beauty spots including a tour of New Providence and

Invitations will be extended to original drivers and car owners as well as
latter day celebrity residents of Nassau to join the event and in particular
