Iconic Machines at Prescott Historique

Around 2,000 spectators turned out to enjoy a celebration of motorsport heritage at Prescott hillclimb, featuring an exciting mix of competitive action and impressive demonstration runs.

Marcus Pye and Chris Drewitt take you through some of the featured cars including :
Derek Drinkwater and the Cadillac Le Monstre
‘Le Monstre’ is not your typical race car, and we are thrilled to announce that not only is it coming to Historique, but it is also driving the Hill! In 1950, after the Le Mans 24 Hour, an American race diver decided to re-body one of his 61 series Cadillacs to make it more aerodynamic and that car became known as ‘Le Monstre’. In 2018 Derek Drinkwater and his team built a faithful recreation of ‘Le Monstre’ and raced it at Le Mans Classic. Since then, the car has raced two more times at the Classic and toured in the USA, racing at Daytona, Laguna Seca, Road America and Watkins Glen. This year Derek’s ‘Monster’ is entered for Le Mans Classic again to celebrate the 50-year anniversary since the original race. The car has a Cadillac 331 engine with five carbs, just like the original and ‘3 on the tree’.
