Race Retro is the ultimate grassroots motorsport season opener, uniting racing drivers, teams, and motorsport enthusiasts for a high-octane celebration of competition cars, legendary drivers, and live rally action.

ExCo

From rallying, touring cars, and historic motorsport to GT racing, single-seaters, and circuit racing, it’s where fans immerse themselves in motorsport culture, and drivers connect with suppliers, prepare their cars, and get race-ready for the season ahead.

See some seriously cool cars

From iconic classic race cars to real Formula One machinery, this is the sort of stuff you normally only see on TV or behind museum ropes.

This year we are celebrating 60 years since Ford’s legendary Le Mans win with three GT40s on display, representing first, second and third place from 1966. If you like beautiful, loud and historic cars, you are in the right place.

There are hundreds more to explore indoors, from old F1 cars to rare racing machines you will not see anywhere else.

Live rally cars in action

Yes, really.

Outside, famous rally cars take to our live rally stage throughout the day. Expect noise, speed, sideways action and proper crowd moments as legendary cars are driven hard, not polished quietly.

This is one of the highlights for first time visitors and kids absolutely love it.

Meet real motorsport legends

Race Retro is also about the people behind the stories.

On our Talk Motorsport Stage, you can hear from famous names from the world of racing. This year includes World Rally Champion Stig Blomqvist, who drove for Audi during the unforgettable Audi versus Lancia era. Hearing those stories live is something special, even if you are new to motorsport.

A great day out, your way

Come for a couple of hours or make a full day of it. Wander the halls, grab a few beers, watch fast cars drift around the track and soak up the atmosphere.
