Englandโ€™s Croft Autodrome is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year with a full schedule of events capped by the prestigious mid-summer Nostalgia Weekend. Croft Autodrome hosted its first motor racing event on August 3, 1964, a Daily Mirror Trophy meeting for touring cars, GTs, sports cars, single-seaters and bikes. Exactly half a century later, on August 2-3, 2014, the sights, sounds and smells of yesteryear will be recreated when the Nostalgia Weekend takes over the northeastโ€™s premier motor sport venue.

โ€œThis is a big year for Croft Autodrome,โ€ said circuit manager Mike Cantelo, โ€œand to be able to celebrate our 50th birthday on the very same weekend as the first race meeting back in 1964 makes it even more special.โ€
