Donington Park will roar to the sound of racing history this August as the CRMC Classic Motorcycle Festival delivers 43 action-packed races across one unforgettable weekend.

From Manx Nortons and Vincents to Yamaha TZs, Suzuki XR69s and thundering 1260cc Kawasakis, an extraordinary field of classic solos and sidecars from 1945 to 2003 will battle it out alongside guest championships. There's also five classic solo PR6 parades and four Historic Interest parades featuring special classic motorcycles rarely seen on track 

Rare Grand Prix machinery, an open paddock, special guest rider appearances, and displays of some of the best classic Japanese motorcycles make this is an unmissable celebration of motorcycling’s greatest eras.
