Windsor is regarded by many as one of the finest international driving venues in the world and true to its reputation, the Land Rover International Driving Grand Prix, held at Royal Windsor Horse Show 14th-18th May 2003 has attracted a record number of entries.

A total of 78 competitors from 15 countries, including HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, who has himself won the event on two previous occasions, will be competing. Over half the confirmed entries are from foreign participants, with teams travelling from as far afield as Argentina reflecting just how highly regarded this event is. With 19 entries in the teams of Horses class this looks set to be one of the strongest competitions Royal Windsor has seen for several years.
