Next year the race received an international status and a lot of motor sport celebrities from 60 countries visited Lviv.
Leopolis Grand Prix considered the oldest European race ring in Europe. Thrace conceived in Ukraine in 1927 – two years earlier than Monaco, but the first race took place a year later than Monaco- in 1930.
This is unique race because the track is preserved in the same form and same route that it was 86 ago. Drivers the same way have to go tramways, cobblestones and overcome significant elevation changes. It was believed that this is one of the most difficult routes in Europe that time.
