From their website:
From the very earliest days of the automobile, racing was used to demonstrate the superiority of one manufacturer over another. The Simeone Foundation Museum celebrates this “Spirit of Competition” with a collection of some of the rarest and most significant sports racing cars ever built. The Museum transports visitors back in time to famous racing venues and tells the story of how competition contributed to the evolution of racing car design, performance and safety.
Living organisms, fighting for survival, adapt to the demands of their environment. The strongest pass on their superior genes to future generations. In the competition between the species, the fittest indeed do survive.
The same is true with many inanimate objects. There are few illustrations of the effects of competition as dramatic, and beautiful, as the evolution of the racing sports car. This is the theme of our exhibition. Here you can learn how racing improves the breed. You can see the evolution of the race car as the result of seven decades of the “spirit of competition.”
