We are very excited to announce that the 2018 Hemmings Motor News Great Race will start right here in Buffalo, NY at The Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum.

The Great Race is inspired by a 1908 New York to Paris automobile race. Competitors drive cars from 1972 and earlier, though most entrants predate World War II. It isn’t a speed competition, but a contest of precision: racers aim to reach checkpoints at an exact time down to the second. Competitors will leave Buffalo on June 23, 2018, and travel 2300 miles, arriving in Halifax, Nova Scotia on July 1.

The Museum previously hosted an overnight checkpoint in 2012, but this will be the first time it serves as the starting line.  Check back here, the museum website, or the race website for more information on next year’s race.
