Jutra u Beogradu su lepa, grad odahne posle lude noći, ali to septembarsko bilo je posebno. Ulicama su zujali ol- dtajmeri, a u pozadini su se čuli uzdasi oduševljenja. Fini svet izašao je u elegantnim haljinama i odelima da pozdra- vi učesnike Memorijal Grand Prix Beograd. Baš tako je bilo i 3. septembra 1939. Na Kalemegdanskoj stazi okupilo se više od 75.000 ljudi, a u formulama su se nadmetali naj- bolji automobilisti. Bio je to poslednji gran-pri održan na početku Drugog svetskog rata, a priređen u čast mladog kralja Petra II Karađorđevića. Ove godine, u organizaciji 24 sata Elegancije (www. 24hoursofelegance.com ) , Beograd je slavio 77. godina našeg gran-prija.

Mornings in Belgrade are beautiful, with the city breathing after a wild night, but that September morn was special. The streets were buzzing with old-timers, and in the background could be heard sighs of delight. The cultu- red world came out in elegant dresses and suits to greet participants in the Memorial Grand Prix Belgrade. That’s also just how it was on 3 rd September 1939. More than 75,000 people had gathered along the Kalemegdan circuit, and the best drivers competed in racing cars. That was the last Grand Prix to be held at the beginning of World War II, and it was staged in honour of the young King Peter II Karađorđević. This year, under the organisation of 24 Hours of Elegance (www. 24hoursofelegance.com ) , Belgrade celebrated 77 years of our grand prix.
