If you're up at Pall Mall this weekend, take a second to stop and admire the Penske PC23 proudly displayed in the Rotunda 😮🏎
Designed by Nigel Bennett of Penske Cars Ltd in Poole, Dorset. The car dominated the 1994 CART IndyCar season.

Official account for the Royal Automobile Club based at Pall Mall and Woodcote Park.
- The Club organised the first British Grand Prix at Silverstone 75 years ago this year. As part of our celebrations, this month there will be an array of Grand Prix cars in the rotunda. First off the grid is the 1963 Brabham BT7 – the bedrock of Brabham’s 1960s and 1970s success.
00:00 - Wishing our members, staff and their families a very Merry Christmas.
- When you know that it's definitely the Veteran Car Run weekend... #eddchina @themotoringnews #veterancarrun
- The Club is very sad to hear of the passing of Lady Susie Moss. Married to Sir Stirling Moss for almost 40 years, she was his inseparable companion on every day of his hectic and globetrotting life. The Club extends its deepest sympathies to their family.
- We are pleased to report that we have now provided over 300 room nights for nurses, doctors and surgeons from Epsom Hospital at our Woodcote Park clubhouse 🌈
- The 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR was described by Sir Stirling Moss as ‘probably the greatest sports car ever built by anybody any time.’ The legendary British driver won the 1955 Mille Miglia – on public roads – at an average speed of 98mph, a record that remains unbeaten today.
- The film stars have arrived in Brighton. Well done Genevieve and The Spyker.
- We are delighted to be displaying motoring gems from the Sandringham Estate to celebrate the Coronation: The King’s 1968 MGC GT and his father’s 1961 Alvis TD21, the Windsors’ unique Ford Zephyr Shooting Brake plus several scale replica cars. On loan from the Sandringham Estate.
- On behalf of the Royal Automobile Club we would like to offer our deepest condolences to the Royal Family on the passing of Her Majesty, our Patron. She was an inspiration to us all, a monarch who defined the notion of service and served the nation and its people to the utmost.
- A happy birthday to Derek Bell MBE from the Royal Automobile Club! Our Vice-President looks as good as he did 40 years ago when he won Le Mans – just one of his five victories there. We'll be celebrating Derek’s milestones and many achievements at the Club next year!
- A moment of history as the ex-Stirling Moss 300 SLR car #722 passes the Pall Mall clubhouse on its last outing – Stirling would have been proud!
- The Club was honoured to welcome three Chelsea Pensioners to Pall Mall this week. The esteemed guests were given a tour of the clubhouse before spending an enjoyable afternoon dining in the Brooklands Room.
- Christmas has arrived at Pall Mall as the rotunda is graced with our Christmas tree display alongside the historic Cooper T53 Formula 1 racing car.
