Retro Rides Weekender

9 - 10 May 2026

Goodwood Circuit

We return once again to the hallowed ground of Goodwood Circuit, bringing that unique Retro Rides vibe. Themed display areas, thousands of pre-2000 cars, track action, laid back atmosphere, good people and good times.



THE DISPLAYS

Announced so far...
CTCRC
We're incredibly pleased to have the Classic Touring Car Racing Club returning to Weekender. Bringing with them a great selection of classic touring cars and associated series. From pre-66 Touring Cars all the way up to the wild Super Tourers of the 90's and early 2000's the CTCRC has got you covered. Expect them on display in paddock 1 and on the track across the Saturday. Sunday get up close and have a look around in a more relaxed atmosphere.

Rave From The Grave
The car world is littered with makes that didn't make it, from AC to Triumph, Alvis to Saab, or even Austin to Wolseley. We're here to celebrate those that fell by the wayside, got absorbed or even just renamed. If you are a custodian of one of these cars from deceased brands we want you.

Whether you've got a pre-war GN special of some sort, a modified Triumph, or the last of the British build AC Aces, hit the application form and get involved

Saloonatics
In a world of SUVs, Crossovers, 4x4 and hot hatches a Saloon is now a rare beast. Once though they were the dominant car shape, from shops to tip trips to holidays, the family vehicle of choice. We're here to celebrate this, as a bonus we know they really respond well to modification, so we're expected some awesome things, from VIP to track weapons.

Now we know this is going to result in some "but technically this is a saloon" type applications, what we're looking for is 3 boxes, bonnet, cabin, separate boot, 4 door mainly, but there are some 2 door, and we'd love to see some pillarless action*.

*but not coupes!

Applications are now closed, we've had a huge response.

Track Action
At the heart of Retro Rides Weekender is track action. We've always been about cars in motion, from the first event we ran nearly twenty years ago, to today. We have cars in action both days, with full track sessions on the Saturday, and Auto Solo on the Sunday.
Track Action
Saturday
Early and Late Morning full track sprint, 3 runs
Early Afternoon is our Special Stage
Late Afternoon full track sprints
Noise Limit 105db
Morning Sessions are £79, Afternoon £69

Special Stage is section of the track, all in front of the crowd, ideal for firebreathing rally cars, or smaller cars that will max out their top speed on the long straights, and everything in between.

Saturday
Sunday
Sunday we run our Autosolo, across the day, a great way to get our on track in an enjoyable and slightly lower risk way.
All sorts of machinery has taken to the autosolo from large American vans to Mini sprints.
We aim for at least three runs for everyone, and often will go well over that.

Only £39
A super fun way to get out on track with your car.

Sunday
Club Displays
One of our very favourite things is to provide space for clubs to gather at the show. Our Sunday Club display brings together a huge range of clubs and cars from across the spectrum of retro cars. Club space starts from as few as three cars.
Media
We're always happy to welcome press and other media to Retro Rides events, if you wish to be considered for press access please fill out the form and let us know what you are about.
