Thomas Smith Group announced that it shall once again support the annual Mdina Grand Prix event organised by the Valletta Grand Prix Foundation. The three-day event will take place on the 11th through to 13th October, and has already attracted many local and international race drivers.

Mr. Joe Gerada, Thomas Smith Group Managing Director said “we are proud to extend this relationship with such a dedicated foundation and recognised event. The interest generated, bringing local and international classic car enthusiasts and spectators together in a picturesque setup within Malta’s former capital city, is significant. We are therefore thrilled to be part of this exciting and prestigious event.” Indeed, the Valletta Grand Prix Foundation claims that this year’s event will involve a minimum of 70 participating cars, and around 25,000(?) spectators over the duration of the event.

An avid classic car aficionado himself, Mr. Gerada emphasises on Thomas Smith Group’s dedication to supporting local sports. “I believe this event will showcase to the rest of the world our great island, our people and our culture.”

This year’s Mdina Grand Prix marks its fifth year, with the original two held around the Valletta bastions, and the subsequent years against Mdina’s historical backdrop. Further information about the Mdina Grand Prix event, schedule of races, and registration, can be found on the official website www.vallettagrandprix.com.

Thomas Smith Group is one of the longest established service group of companies on the island, specialising in international shipping services and insurance.
