The historic motorsports show will celebrate the Porsche marque, thirty years of the Group C Porsche 956 and thirty years of the Honda Racing Corporation.<br \/>\nPorsche is Race Retro\u2019s chosen car marque for 2012. From the 1948 birth of the iconic 356 to the current-model 911 GT2 RS, Porsche\u2019s motorsports heritage across the decades will be well represented at Race Retro, with a number of static race and rally displays in Hall 1. Plus, there will be guest appearances by Porsche race and rally stars, including a number of legendary Porsche works drivers. There will be plenty of sideways action too, on the live action rally stage, on both Saturday and Sunday, where a jaw-dropping selection of rallying icons, including a Porsche 911 RSR, will be showing their mettle.<br \/>\nHall 2 will be home to Race Retro\u2019s \u2018The Porsche 956 at Thirty\u2019 celebrations. It\u2019s hard to appreciate that this astonishing Group C car first competed back in 1982. A wonderfully-timeless and evocative design, it so purposefully and powerfully symbolises Porsche\u2019s involvement with motor sport and its triumphs. The 956, and its successor the 962, secured numerous team, manufacturers\u2019, drivers\u2019, race, and championship successes throughout the 1980\u2019s and 1990\u2019s.<br \/>\nFew manufacturers have been such an integral part of bike racing as Honda hence the celebration of its glorious thirty years. Ever since the Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) was founded in 1982, this hugely-successful organisation has been at the forefront of GP racing, road racing, endurance racing, trials riding and motorcross. And, uniquely, as well as covering all disciplines, since its inception, HRC has actively supported privateer teams and individual riders who have always been able to avail themselves of technical support, set-up advice, research and development, and specialist parts. Visitors to Hall 3 will enjoy the variety of Honda displays and delight in the fact that they can rub shoulders with Honda team riders, team managers, and mechanics.<br \/>\nOf course, Classic bikes should be heard as well as seen. The good news is that the race bike \u2018Fire-up Paddock\u2019 is returning for Race Retro 2012. Each day, this aural arena will resonate with the sounds of bike racing\u2019s glorious past, including the marvellous multi-cylinder Hondas.<br \/>\nAdult ticket prices are \u00a320 when booking in advance, \u00a325 on the gate. Children\u2019s tickets are \u00a35 on Friday or Saturday and free on Sunday. Parking is also free throughout. The show is open from 9.30am each day and closes at 5.30pm on Friday and Saturday and 4.30pm on Sunday.<br \/>\nTo book tickets and for more information, visit <a title=\"Race Retro\" href=\"http:\/\/www.raceretro.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.raceretro.com<\/a>.<br \/>\n[Source: Race Retro]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2012 edition of Race Retro will be held 24-26 February at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry, UK.
