From 1-3 May 2026, we’ll be back at the Donington Historic Festival.
Join us for an excellent weekend of track action featuring favourite historic cars. Previous years have seen races in every era of motorsport, from Pre-War Sports Cars to GT3 Legends.
Members of the Lotus Drivers Club can benefit from a substantial discount on advance prices for all ticket types, covering both the driver and passengers. This special offer is applicable when booking to display on the Club stand.
Motor Racing Legends, helmed by Pierre-Antoine Lecoutour, took over the organisation of the Festival for 2025 and put on a fantastic display of historic motorsport across three days - giving spectators a May Day bank holiday weekend of outstanding on-track action.
The full details for the event will be announced early in 2026, but, true to DHF form, enthusiasts can expect to see hundreds of classic race cars from the 1920s to the 2010s battling it out across a diverse range of categories. From sprightly vintage racers - some more than 100 years old - through to potent GT3 cars homologated between 2006 and 2012, there will be something for everyone.
The Donington Historic Festival is also renowned for its competitive racing, with skilled drivers, often including past and present-day BTCC and Le Mans racers, putting on a superb show for the crowds all the way to the chequered flag.
Numerous car clubs and individual owners will bring hundreds of classics for display. Look out for pristine examples around the circuit and the paddock, with some taking part in special parade laps. A themed trade area will offer unique memorabilia and specialist items too, with the paddock also open all weekend.
Mark your calendars, as booking details will be available soon!
