In just over two weeks Donington Park in the East Midlands will be home to nearly 400 historic and vintage racing cars and motor cycles who have gathered to compete in this wonderful event, celebrating the best vintage and historic motor sport in the world!

The event is promoted by The Vintage Sports-Car Club and offers a great weekend for fans of motor sport. A programme of fifteen races will bring a wide variety of racing cars to the circuit. From thunderous Edwardian Cars of the pre-1920 era to 1980s Group C Le Mans Endurance Racing monsters and a lot in between so there is sure to be something to catch your imagination and enthusiasm.

This year’s event is subtitled ‘The Silver Edition’ and celebrates the appearance of the mighty German Silver Arrows teams at the Donington Grand Prix in 1937. The Mercedes W125 Grand Prix car that participated in this important race will be present and demonstrated at the event.

As well as the racing there will be air displays including The Red Arrows on Saturday and a Spitfire on Sunday, car club displays, exhibitions and a great trade village. Visitors to the event can also enjoy free access to the paddock so that they can get up close to the racing cars and meet the drivers!
