Organisers once again expect large and competitive grids competing at the 12-turn, 2.5-mile Donington Park in Leicestershire, England.<\/p>\n<p>Festival founder, Duncan Wiltshire, said, \u201cWithin just a few years this event has become a major fixture on the international calendar, and one which goes from strength to strength. The mixture of world-class historic motor racing and open-access paddock, off-track attractions such as classic rally and karting demos and a wide range of car club displays, plus the inimitable Donington Park atmosphere, has made it a firm favourite with spectators. This goes for everyone from long-time classic motorsport enthusiasts to those who have never seen a historic race car in action before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The variety of cars taking part at the Donington Historics is a major reason for the early success of the historic motorsports event. With racing machines spanning some seven decades \u2013 from the 1920s to the 1980s \u2013 and everything from single-seaters to GT cars, sports cars and Touring Cars competing, there\u2019s something for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Ticket prices for the Donington Historic Festival 2015 will be announced later this year, and tickets will go on sale in November.
