Enjoy the event, looks like it’s going to be a corker.
What a great day my favourites were the the pre 1930 GP cars and the Mini’s taking on the big yank monsters. It was great to be able to walk around the paddock watching the cars being prepared.
Many thanks for the tickets my son and I had a great day and free tea and coffee at the TR Register (I am a member).
Thanks Again

Ian,
We’re delighted you had a great time. We went on the Sunday also and like you really enjoyed the day. My boy added to his ever growing die cast 1:18 scale car collection, buying a yellow Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 Roadster from the trade village. He’s now got 3 Ferrari’s and 3 Lamborghini’s, more than I ever had as a kid!
In terms of the races, I loved the Stirling Moss Trophy for pre-61 sportscars, the HSCC Historic F2 race (wow those cars are loud), the Pre-63 GT race and also the Group C sportscars.
Reviews of the weekend and pictures to follow shortly.
Keep a watch out for our other free ticket give aways to other great classic car shows and motorsport events. All the best.
Will
I was very pleased to recieve 2-tickets for the Donington Historic Festival, and with a check of the weather forecast it looked like it was going to be dry for the Sunday. We left Gloucester at 7.30, and an hour and a quarter later were parking my Focus ST-3 just outside the paddock entrance.
This event is in it’s second year of running, and although it may not be as big as other historic festivals it has an ideal format when you only have a day to look around. With qualifying in the Morning it gives you plenty of time to walk the paddock, take photos, get autographs and spend too much money at the trade village [ahem] Then grab some dinner and claim a spot for the afternoons racing.
The racing was great, and my personal favourite the GrpC cars delivered a great battle between the Aston Martin and C2 spec Spice with the Aston victorious, just. we stayed till the end of the last race and got out of the circuit with no problem, and it didn’t rain.
Thanks for a great day.
