Consisting of both historic racing laid-out on a 1.7-mile street track close to the centre and a concours spread out in the Chattanooga streets, the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival<\/a> is quickly becoming a fan\u2019s favourite. Former IndyCar driver Lynn St. James remarked: \u201cIt gives people the opportunity to experience an auction, experience a car race, experience an assembly of cars, and it is all here in the West Village area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Festival centered around a \u2018Gathering of the Greats \u2013 Ferrari edition\u2019, bringing many of Maranello\u2019s finest to Tennessee. In the Concours laid-out on the West Village\u2019s streets on Sunday, some fine race cars were displayed. The 1967 Ferrari NART Spyder, entered by Rare Wheels, not only won its class, but was elected Best of Show as well.

Racing was divided over eight different classes, with participant\u2019s cars dating from as far back as the 1920s right up to a 2021 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Three races of 20 minutes each, spread out over the weekend, provided plenty of excitement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
