Revving Up History: The Founders’ Race By Cartrack Returns

The Founders’ Race by Cartrack, the tour aimed at pre-war cars and motorcycles (until 1939), is back on the road, on a new date between the 27th and 29th of September.

The fourth edition of the tour that celebrates the golden era of motorsport will take participants on an itinerary of around 250 kilometres, along the best Portuguese roads and landscapes, starting on Friday (27th) in Figueira da Foz, with a parade and competition organized in conjunction with the Figueira da Foz Antique Car Club. The Leiria Sobre Rodas event will also be one of the attractions, in which the cars will stop on Saturday, the 28th, followed by a demonstration of expertise at the exit. On Sunday, the Founders’ Race will head towards Lisbon, the chosen arrival destination for this unique event, stopping in several cities.

With guaranteed participants of various nationalities, and a higher number of entries than in previous years, both in cars and motorcycles, the Founders Race by Cartrack is organized by the Caramulo Museum, in partnership with the CPAA and CAACB clubs, and with the support of Cartrack, Shell, Turismo do Centro and BPI – Fundação la Caixa and the municipalities of Figueira da Foz, Leiria, Alcobaça, Torres Vedras, Mafra, Cascais and Lisbon.

Pre-war cars and motorcycles can be registered through the official Founders Race by Cartrack page.
