Stoneleigh Park welcomed almost 25,000 visitors to Race Retro, the International Historic Motorsport Show, on 23-25 March – 20% up on last year's attendance.

Opening the Show this year will be:
Friday 23rd: Jim Redman, Phil Read and Frank Perris.
Saturday 24th: Michele Mouton.
Sunday 25th: Richard Attwood and Vic Elford.

Michele Mouton, the most successful and well-known female rally driver of all time, will be opening the show and driving her famous 1985 Pikes Peak Hillclimb winning 500bhp Audi S1 Sport Quattro on the Rally demonstration stage.

Opening the Show on Sunday 25th March are Richard Attwood and Vic Elford, two legends of motor racing who were actually team-mates at Le Mans in 1969, sharing a Porsche 917 in the car's first 24-hour race.

Sample the recreated Ace Cafe at the show in Hall 3. Eat the food, listen to the music, buy the regalia.
