The MGF Register will be having a stand at the Festival again for the complete weekend. All MG Car Club members are welcome to join us.

Fans of historic motorsport of all eras have a treat in store over the May Bank Holiday weekend when race cars from the 1920s to the 1990s take to the track for the Donington Historic Festival (Friday 28th, Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th April).



Across 17 exhilarating races, the Donington Historic Festival will showcase some 400 world-class competition machines. Single-seaters, Le Mans prototypes, GT cars, sportscars and Touring Cars will converge on a circuit renowned for fantastic on-track action and superb spectator viewing.

With close-fought racing every day, over 400 historic racing cars spanning seven decades, historic rally car and karting action and a ‘living motoring museum’ created by dozens of car clubs displays – plus a host of other attractions – exhilaration and entertainment is guaranteed, whether you buy a ticket for one, two or all three days! Friday is an action-packed qualifying day, where the drivers will be going all-out to put themselves on the front of the grid. Saturday and Sunday are all-race days, where the battles for the chequered flag will rage.

On each day of the Festival gates open at 07.30am and the circuit activity starts at 9.10am, finishing at around 6.30pm.

Members of car clubs registered to attend the event benefit from a two-for-one ticket offer on advance discounted tickets when they quote their unique club code at time of booking (car club booking deadline is Sunday, April 23rd and all car club tickets must be booked in advance). Each pair of club tickets also includes an infield parking pass for club display vehicles, allowing them to join the other cars on display in their club's dedicated infield parking area, to create a fantastic exhibit for all spectators to enjoy. Children aged 15 and under (accompanied by an adult) get in for free. Full details can be found via http://www.doningtonhistoric.com

Thr club discount code can be obtained via chair@mgfregister.org
The code is only available to MG Car Club members. Please quote your membership number when emailing for the code.

Car club booking deadline is Sunday, April 23rd

Unlike previous years, anyone wanting to take part in the parade laps at lunch time, are required to pre-book and pay before the day. A nominal £10 for 3 laps is not too bad to get that race track experience. Details can be found at http://www.doningtonhistoric.com/parades/

The advanced ticket sales for the club discount has now passed ....

We should be a nice display with up to 8 cars on the Saturday and Sunday.

If anyone is interested in a 3 day ticket to the event, I have a spare one, due to the buy-one-get-one-free offer.
Happy to let it go for the £24 face value which includes an infield car pass. Email or PM if you are interested and I will post it out to you.
