Race Retro Exhibitor Information

Historic Motorsport Show Profile

Historic Motorsport as a sport and industry has grown rapidly in the past 15 years and now extends across many disciplines for cars and bikes, covering 70 years of Motorsport from 1925 up to 1995. The major trend in the last 20 years has been the rise of the independent event organisers, to complement the traditional major sporting and marque clubs. The show is built around all these organisations and it is an ideal environment for organisers to meet visitors, competitors and newcomers to the sport.

Additionally to classic cars and bikes, competitors will find preparation experts, restorers, engine builders, spare parts, accessories and personal equipment at the show. Everything a historic motorsport enthusiast would need.
