"Gentlemen (and Ladies), start your engines". The challenging circuit outside Mdina's fortified walls, awaits.
An early start on both days where the demanding 2.2 kilometer street circuit will see the race cars put through their paces on a track with a combination of tight bends, sweeping curves and inclines that wind their way through the valley below Mdina. Drivers have described the circuit as 'simply awesome'. It is fast and exhilarating and the drivers just love this atmosphere.

Saturday morning includes two practice sessions to allow the drivers to acclimatize themselves with the circuit. The afternoon sees the cars let loose individually on the track so as to define the starting order for Sunday's grid.

Sunday. This is where the real racing kicks off. The cars are grouped into packs of 8 to 10 cars and set off around the circuit to provide a thrill for the drivers and spectators alike. The unforgiving nature of the circuit will bring out the very best of performance driving by both the drivers and their classic racing automobiles. A spectacle like no other. A chance for classic race car owners to put their cars through their paces at a circuit in a location like no other and a chance for spectators to feast their eyes on some examples of fine classic racing machinery going at speed around this fantastic circuit.

The Mdina Grand Prix draws to a close on Sunday evening with the presentation dinner where the winners are announced and awarded.
