Thomas Smith Group announced that it shall once again support the Valletta Grand Prix Foundation, who shall be organising its annual Mdina Grand Prix event on the 9th through to 12th October.

Thomas Smith shall this year be sponsoring the scrutineering event, which will be held on Sunday 5th October at the Malta National Aquarium, whereby all participating cars are thoroughly examined by officials.

Last year’s event attracted over 25,000 spectators over the duration of the event, and aspires once again to attract a large audience this year. This year’s Mdina Grand Prix marks its sixth year, with the original two held around the Valletta bastions, and the subsequent years against Mdina’s historical backdrop.

The event has already enticed many local and international race drivers. The Valletta Grand Prix Foundation claims that this year’s event will involve a minimum of 65 participating cars, 12 of which being foreign participants.

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 once again.” An avid classic car fanatic himself, Mr. Gerada emphasises on Thomas Smith Group’s dedication to supporting local sports, and would like to wish all participants and the organisers a successful outcome.
