Throughout the years, racing cars have been dragged to race meetings all over the World in different forms of transport. Today nearly every paddock for an International or National series sees a polished line of modern trucks. However, it was not always this way; when the Scottish racing team Ecurie Ecosse started out in 1952 the drivers initially drove their Jaguar XK120’s to and from the local circuits and then used a 1932 Leyland for circuits further away.
