One of the showpiece events in the UK’s motorsport calendar, the Donington Historic Festival will see a superb collection of classic racers descend upon the famous East Midlands circuit.

The Festival will once again run for a full three days, with a packed schedule of historic racing orchestrated by Motor Racing Legends (MRL). MRL categories covering several decades of motorsport heritage will take to the track, with some examples boasting more than a century of competition history.

Expect to see pre-war sports cars all the way through to contemporary GT3 Legends, complemented by an eclectic mix of classic touring cars. Meanwhile the Generations Trophy, designed for families who want to race together in pre-1966 MGBs, makes its Donington Park debut

The packed race schedule is accompanied by track displays and parades, special demonstrations, an open-access paddock, pitlane walks, a busy trade village, and sprawling displays of hundreds of classic cars courtesy of dozens of car clubs.
