The concept behind our retro motorsport event is all about celebrating the era of George Begg: but the classic racing is not limited to the 1960s and 1970s. We’ve got a real variety of classes set to be on show during the festival: from Vintage Racing Car (VCC) all the way through to Modern Touring Cars (post-2000). There’ll be something to please everyone!
True blue petrolheads, we know you’ll want the best seat in the house. To ensure you don’t miss a moment of the action happening on the track, why not grab an All Access Pass or Track and Hospo Pass – 3 Days.
