The Mdina Grand Prix 2014 will be held between 9 and 12 October. The Mdina street track will be hosting the classic car race for the fourth consecutive year. Various cultural activities are being organised for overseas participants and guests.

The first ever Classic Car Grand Prix was held in 2007, on the ring road circling the capital city of Valletta. An incredible array of cars ranging from 1920's and 1930's Bugattis to 1950's Ferraris and Jaguars, among others, left onlookers in awe.

The Mdina Grand Prix will be offering a weekend of street racing and hill climbing on a separate tack, as well as a Concours d'Elegance held in the main square of the Medieval City, in which the finest local period cars and motorbikes will vie for trophies.

The Thomas Smith Hill Climb will be held at Mellieha.
