Check out the Benetton B186, the car that earned the team their first Grand Prix victory in Mexico in 1986.\n\nThe unique collection includes IndyCars, sportscars and even a selection of NASCARs. Among these is the Jordan 194 driven by Eddie Irvine, the 1967 Lola T92 driven by Jackie Stewart in the Indy 500, the 94 Lola IndyCar driven by Nigel Mansell and the 2004 Lola Champ Car driven by Sebastian Bourdais.\n\nOne of the most important cars in the collection, certainly to the Mondello Park team, is the fabulous BMW M1 Pro Car with which Martin Birrane took class victory in the Le Mans 24-hour race of 1985.
