The Raceway has been set aside for one particular event, the George Vanderbilt Cup Race, which is i n effect a revival and continuance of the old Vanderbilt Cup road race which used to attract thousands up- on thousands of mqtoiri^ts out to Long Island in the early days of the automobile. For the second renewal of the George Vanderbilt Cup competition, the track has been completely re- designed and resurfaced to-assure higher speed and more spectacular racing that was observed in the first race last Fall. The second race will be a 300-mile speed classic, and will rank in championship rating' with the 500-mile race on the In- dianapolis Speedway. Virtually every great racing sta? of Europe and America has signed to battle for the Vanderbilt Cup and the $70,000 in prize money which, make this the nichedt aubomobile race in the world. These include Bernd Rosemeyer, champion of Europe, the German who won four Grand Prix events in succession t o wind up the 1936 European racing season; Tazio Nuvolari, the little Italian speed king who won last year's Vanderbilt Cup classic and Rosemeyer's foremost foeman in clashes abroad, and a host of others familiar for their daring on the speedways <of America. These stars will be numbered a- mong the field of thirty cars that will thunder away on the afternoon of July 3rd for ninety thrilling laps around the new Roosevelt Raceway. More than 50 cars will be found on the entry lists, but elimination speed trials will make it a picked field fighting for the checkered flag at the end of 300 miles. To America for the first time are coming the three fastest racing teams in Europe—the Auto Union, the Mercedes and the Alfa Romeo— and in addition the Maserati will be represented by at least three cars driven by Americans. Auto Union Has Averaged 200 Mile* an Hour The Auto Union is the car which has amazed European racing centers with its throbbing power and radi- cal design. It is a 16-cylinder car of rear-engine construction. The driver sits in a cockpit slung in the front of the car with the motor and gasoline tanks mounted behind him. It is a superstreamlined car which has averaged over 200 miles an hour^ (Continued on Page Two)
