One of the UK’s biggest celebrations of retro racing, the Donington Historic Festival returns in 2024 with two days of enthralling racing action. 

Hundreds of classic machines will return to action. And rather than being museum pieces, these epic cars will be pushed to their limit, harking back to the days when Donington Park was the host for Grands Prix in the 1930s.

Huge variety will include pre-war sports cars, tin tops spanning multiple decades, and fire-spitting GT machinery made famous at Le Mans. The weekend also celebrates the 100th anniversary of Bentley's first win at Le Mans, with special displays and demonstrations on-track.

There's hundreds of other classics on display around the venue, courtesy of numerous car clubs and individual owners. Look out for some truly spectacular examples on the infield and in dedicated areas in the paddock, with some taking part in special parade laps.

There’s also a themed trade area offering unique memorabilia and specialist items, and the paddock itself is open all weekend!
