Steeped in history, the legendary Monaco Historic Grand Prix is organised every two years by the Automobile Club of Monaco, taking place on the same circuit as the Forumla 1 Grand Prix. Cars are distributed into 7 races from ‘pre-war’ to Forumla 3 cars. No other race in the Formula 1 Calendar can match this truly spectacular and glamorous circuit from Casino Square to the World’s most famous Hairpin..
At Straight Eight Logistics we are proud of our continuing association with motorsport teams and race events throughout the UK, Europe and the World. We understand the requirements for transporting and shipping production, sports and formula race cars, and the confidentiality needed to keep specifications and liveries under wraps for many race teams. By only using fully enclosed race car transporters you can rest assured that your rivals will only see your car when you wish them to.
We will transport your car directly to the circuit, where it will be unloaded into the paddock by our uniformed and highly trained drivers using winches and low approach ramp angles for low slung race cars. We are also able to transport spares and accessories with your vehicle if required. Many of our clients request for race cars to be delivered to the race circuit or road course just prior to qualifying and collected after the last race on a Sunday. Whatever your requirements, our punctuality and professionalism means we work to your race schedule not ours.
We regularly collect and deliver race cars from events such as: Goodwood Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival, Silverstone Classic, Pau, Le Mans Classic, Monaco Historic Grand Prix, Millie Miglia. However, we can arrange delivery and collection to any race across the globe.
If you would like to discuss the transportation of single or multiple vehicles to races within the UK, Europe or further afield please contact us directly and a member of our team will be happy to answer any questions/queries that you may have.

during the 2.nd World War. Castagneto, “deus ex machina“ of the Mille Miglia and his friends, were very attached to the Mantuan pilot.
They were linked by a close bond of affection and they felt deep consideration and admiration towards this great “man-champion”.
They also were grateful to him to because he contributed a lot to the unrestrainable growing of their “creature”. To honour his memory, the traditional itinerary of the Mille Miglia was changed in order to get it pass through Mantova.
Since then the GRAN PREMIO NUVOLARI was established in order to give a price to the fastest pilot, on the route along the impressive straight roads which cross “The Po Valley”, starting from Cremona, through Mantova until the finish in Brescia.

Rallies – The participants
For rally participants we offer a door-to-door service. We collect your vehicle from your chosen location and return it there after the event to your schedule.

On the event, we are able to offer breakdown recovery support where required. Our transporters can be sent to shadow the route and in the event that the rally mechanic is unable to fix your vehicle at the roadside, we will be on hand to load and repatriate you and your vehicle to the next overnight stop.
For the larger events such as Tour Auto or the Mille Miglia, we offer a personal vehicle support service, whereby we follow the rally with your dedicated mechanic, spares, accessories and even luggage.
Rallies – The Organisers
