The 1956 edition is particularly significant for featuring Italian driver Piero Drogo, who secured an overall victory driving a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, marking the beginning of his racing career. The exact location of the race is unclear, it is likely that the competition was held on a temporary street circuit or another track existing at the time. Often referred to as the "Garden City," Maracay has a rich cultural and industrial history, deeply intertwined with Venezuela's motorsport heritage. Events like the Premio Nacional Ciudad de Maracay contributed to its reputation as a hub for automotive enthusiasm and competition during that era.
