The Donington Historic Festival, one of Europe’s premier celebrations of classic motor racing, returns on 30 April/1 May to run in front of spectators for the first time in three years.
Cars spanning a century of history will be seen, with everything from pioneering machinery from the pre-war period to sports cars and touring cars from the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. The event will also feature iconic Group C endurance racing cars in 2022. To download the entry lists CLICK HERE.
As well as the stunning on-track action, off track areas will be bustling courtesy of car club displays and busy trade areas, in addition to on-track parades and a free pit walk on both days.
You'll need to tear your eyes away from the track action and up into the skies, when we have not one but two flypasts from the fantastic Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF).

Hollywood Stand - Saturday
The Hollywood grandstand provides an epic viewpoint of well over a third of the circuit! Watch the field scramble through Redgate on the first lap before filtering through the iconic Hollywood and Craner Curves section, which always provides plenty of action! Views stretch to the Old Hairpin, Starkey’s Bridge and Schwantz curve. This grandstand is just a five-minute walk from the main race paddocks, meaning spectators are right in the heart of the drama!
You can select your seat(s) when you order online, or you can call our call centre on 0843 453 9000
