The Heidelberg Great Train Race is drawing closer!

The Heidelberg Great Train Race is drawing closer! Let’s look at why we commemorate the magnificent 1930s Bentley vs. Le Train Bleu Race by diving into what happened during that fateful event…

In 1930, Bentley racing driver Woolf Barnato wagered a bet that he could easily beat the famous Le Train Bleu to Calais at the wheel of his own Speed Six Bentley. At 17:45 on 13 March 1930, as the train left Cannes, Barnato and his companion set off.

The duo arrived in Calais so far ahead of the train that Barnato sought to put the challenge to bed by making it all the way to London before the express train pulled into Calais.

They crossed the English Channel on a packet steamer, completed another 100km or so of hard driving and, to loud applause, Barnato parked outside the Conservative Club in St James Street at exactly 13:20 – four minutes before Le Train Bleu arrived at Calais Station.

Celebrate with us as we honour this momentous feat on Saturday, 30 September 2023, at Heidelberg Airfield. There’s lots of fun to be had for the whole family!
