Rendezvous after rendezvous this fantastic retrospective has conquered the public, the entrants, the makes clubs, guardians of our marvellous automotive heritage, as well as exhibitors who flock to the circuit in increasingly large numbers. In 2016 there were 123 000 spectators, 600 cars on the track and 8500 cars brought along by the clubs.
Le Mans Classic began in 2002 and runs every two years in July on the full 13.65 km circuit also used for the annual modern day 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Le Mans Classic event of 2002 was the first time since 1923 that the full 24- hour Circuit, part of which is public road the rest of the year, was closed specifically for an event other than the annual running of the 24 heures du Mans with contemporary sportcars and prototypes, thus allowing car owners and gentleman drivers to experience what it must have been to race these cars on this circuit.

formula1.com
Like so many of England’s racing circuits, Silverstone started life as an aerodrome. When the Second World War ended in 1945, England’s other two circuits, Donington Park and the legendary Brooklands, had fallen into disrepair. And so it was that the outer taxiways and interconnecting runways of Silverstone became adopted by the Royal Automobile Club as the home for the British Grand Prix in 1948.

Horse Racing Events & Days Out at Ascot Racecourse
The King George Weekend
29 July, 2023
Ascot Racecourse, Ascot, England
ascot.co.uk/
With the exception of Royal Ascot, King George weekend is the most important, historic and glamorous racing meeting on Ascot’s calendar.
It’s Britain’s most prestigious open-age flat race, and its roll of honour features some of the most highly-acclaimed horses of the sport’s recent history. The 1975 running, which involved a hard-fought battle to the finish between Grundy and Bustino, is frequently described as the “race of the century”.
Many of its winners subsequently compete in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, and a number go on to have a successful career at stud. The race is often informally referred to as the “King George”.
FORMULA 1 JOHNNIE WALKER BELGIAN GRAND PRIX
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
30 July, 2023
formula1.com
Belgium’s Spa-Francorchamps circuit is among the most historic on the Formula One calendar, having hosted a (non- championship) Grand Prix as long ago as 1924, and remains one of the most popular venues with drivers and fans alike.
More than twenty years on Spa remains the longest circuit on the calendar. The weather is still notoriously changeable (it can often be simultaneously raining on one part of the track and dry on another) and Eau Rouge, with its high speed and sudden elevation change, maintains its reputation as one of Formula One racing’s most technically demanding corners.
Such is the challenge of Spa that only the truly great drivers can really claim to have mastered it. In fact just six men have won the race more than twice – Juan Manuel Fangio (three times), Damon Hill (three times), Kimi Raikkonen (four times), Jim Clark (four times), Ayrton Senna (five times) and Michael Schumacher (six times).
