Primarily focused on post-war vehicles dated 1957 to 1974 that raced or would have been eligible to race at The Bridge during its glory years, the rolling stock included a 1956 Jaguar D-Type, XKD 537; 1961 Jaguar E-Type Low Drag Coupe; 1954 Ferrari 250 GT Lightweight Berlinetta Competizione; and Chrysler 1970 Francochamps Group 1 Hemicuda.

The event was a partnership between Robert Rubin, owner of the race circuit since 1981 and founder of the golf club in 2002, and the event’s organizers: Jeffrey Einhorn, a Manhattan-based attorney; and Shamin Abas, President of Shamin Abas Public Relations & Special Events. Based on the unequivocal success of this year’s event, they envision expansion for 2017, growing to a multi-day event, including rallies and other events open to the public – but with The Bridge the unequivocal highlight of the weekend.

Partners of the event included: Bell Helicopter, Ferrari North America, Karma Automotive, The Dalmore and Banfi Wines.
