Veteran Car Tour 2026

Audrain Motorsport is proud to announce the fourth annual Newport-Bristol-Newport Veteran Car Tour that will once again be gracing the roads of Newport and Bristol, RI. The Audrain Veteran Car Tour is truly a celebration of the early days of motoring, with many brass-era car collectors from New England and across the United States taking part. We are thrilled that the Audrain run is now thought of in a similar way to the world-famous London to Brighton Veteran Car Run that began with The Emancipation Run in 1896, which celebrated the Locomotives on Highways Act which liberalized motor vehicle laws in the United Kingdom.

Driven by Heritage: Porsche’s Evolution from Racetrack to Road

Presented by Ben Chester, Operations Manager at the Audrain Automobile Museum

Since Porsche’s first-class victory at Le Mans in 1951, the connection between its race cars and road cars has been closer than any other manufacturer. In this walk-around seminar, Ben Chester, Operations Manager at the Audrain Automobile Museum, takes a deeper look at how Porsche’s competitive spirit and engineering breakthroughs on the track have continuously shaped the cars we see on the road today.

From the pioneering lightweight designs of the 1950s to the turbocharged innovations of the 1970s, and the cutting-edge aerodynamics and hybrid technology of today, Porsche’s evolution is a story of relentless refinement. Join us as we explore how racing has defined Porsche’s legacy and how that Rennsport spirit continues to drive the brand forward.
