This weekend is one of the busiest weekends of the summer for the British Automobile Racing Club, with not one, not two, but three major events in the south and north of England, as well as Scotland.
It’s a seventies inspired throwback at the Thruxton Retro event in Hampshire. Superfunk takes over Thruxton with on track historic racing galore, F1 demos and so much to see and do off track for race goers of all ages!
Meanwhile its the best of British with the British Hillclimb championship making its trip to Doune for the high-speed and ultra-narrow course, while its a Party in the Park in Cheshire as the Kwik Fit British Touring Championship hits its biggest weekend of the year.

What is racing this weekend?
At Thruxton we go retro with an incredible line-up of cars. Exciting single-seaters in the form of the Jochen Rindt Trophy, Heroes of FF1600 and Formula Junior are weaved in with mouthwatering sports cars from the Ferrari Club Classic Series, GT and Sports Car Cup with AC Cobras, Austin Healeys Jaguar E Types and the like. Not forgetting the tin-top action from the MG Owners Club, Mighty Minis and Class K and Hawthorn Jaguar Challenge.
The fastest accelerating single-seaters in the country head to Doune in Scotland for the first of two visits this season. Two runoffs will count towards the championship which is led by reigning champ Matt Ryder. He will be chased hard by Will Hall, Trevor Willis and Wallace Menzies who will want to take the two wins on his home event.
Oulton Park is always a popular round for the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship and along with the Porsche Sprint Challenge, Wera Tools F4 British Championship and Vertu MINI Challenge – the bumper crowd will be treated to wall-to-wall close, enthralling racing.
