Two weeks following the kick off event, the grounds are transformed into a museum of sorts as the track welcomes the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association and hosts the Vintage Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio. Nearly 400 cars on track and a few hundred in a pair of car shows make for the automotive purists’ dream on June 22-24. The Union Jack will fly high this year as the Featured Marque is expanded to form a British Invasion.

Featured Marque

SVRA, along with Mid-Ohio Sports Course have selected "British Invasion" as the featured marque for the 2012 Vintage Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio.

British Car Showdown

From contemporary British classics to some of the more nostalgic forms of British innovation, the 14th Annual British Car Showdown is sure to provide everyone something of interest. Whether you are a gearhead or your engine knowledge doesn't venture much farther than changing the oil, stop by a car and chat with one of the owners. You will be amazed by what you can learn from the enthusiastic participants who welcome the opportunity to come in contact with an open ear.
