Looking for a last-minute father’s day treat? How about a great family day out enjoying motorsport? This weekend there are 85 permitted events taking place but even if it’s too late to take part, there are some fantastic ways to enjoy the summer weather.
London Historic Trophy
Brands Hatch celebrates its 100th anniversary this year and many of its events recall golden moments from its past – perfect for remembering what first got them into motorsport.
The London Historic Trophy is a new event and among the nostalgia includes a Group C demonstration from when Brands Hatch held rounds of the World Sportscar Championship in the 1980s plus a display appearance from Nigel Mansell’s 1986 British Grand Prix-winning Williams-Honda FW11.

Mallory Park Sprint
If your dad has ever wondered about giving motorsport a go then what better way than to see an accessible motorsport event in action. Sprinting is competing against the clock and takes place at dedicated venues or race circuits and competitors can take part in a range of classes from road cars to modified and race specials.
Sprint events are great for finding out more by chatting to competitors as they prepare for action and finding out how easy it is to compete. For the entry classes you just need an RS Clubman licence and a crash helmet.
