Each of the three days has a full line-up of races, and the off-track attractions and demonstrations will ensure non-stop entertainment. I\u2019m particularly excited about the first ever round of the new HSCC Jaguar Heritage Challenge, and it will also be fantastic to see 1950s and \u201960s Grand Prix cars out at the Festival for the first time. The 2 1\/2 hour 1000 km endurance race should be something really rather special too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saturday May 2nd sees the Festival kick off in style with the Historic Grand Prix Cars Association Combined Grid of Pre-1961 and Pre-1966 Grand Prix cars, the HSCC\u2019s Historic Formula Two, and FJHRA\/HSCC &#8216;Silverline&#8217; Historic Formula Junior Championship Rear Engined and Front Engined races.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018feature race\u2019 of the Saturday is the 1000 km, a 150-minute spectacle driving well into the evening. It is designed to recreate the fabulous 1000 km sports car battles of the early 1970s, when sports prototypes of up to five litres ran in some of the most spectacular racing ever seen. In the spirit of those original races, it will also feature Touring and GT cars of the period.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday May 3rd, the Donington Historic Festival 2015 crowds will be treated to another \u2018mini-enduro\u2019, this time for the GT and Sports Car Cup. A series for genuine pre-66 GTs and pre-63 sports cars of a type that were raced in period in the World Endurance Championship, this is a highly competitive affair. And those qualities continue with the Royal Automobile Club Woodcote Trophy for genuine sports-racers of the post-War era, up to and including December 1955.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday also sees second appearances by the HGPCA Combined Grid of Pre-1961 and Pre-1966 Grand Prix cars, and the two FJHRA\/HSCC &#8216;Silverline&#8217; Historic Formula Junior Championship grids. There\u2019s more single-seater action from the HSCC Historic Formula Twos, while Touring Car fans are in for a treat with three fantastic races: the one-hour U2TC, featuring pre-1966 under two-litre Touring Cars, plus the HRDC\u2019s \u2018History of the BTCC 1958-1966\u2019; while the HSCC Super Touring Cars brings things almost up to date by putting Touring Cars from pre-1980 to the end of 1999 out on track.<\/p>\n<p>The race action and on-track variety continues on Bank Holiday Monday, May 4th. One exciting new grid is the HSCC Jaguar Heritage Challenge. Aimed firmly at fans of the Big Cats, of which there are many, this could include everything from XK 120s, C- and D-type Jaguars to Mk I and II saloons, plus numerous E-types.<\/p>\n<p>The Stirling Moss Trophy for pre-1961 sports cars will bring some machinery to Donington, and the \u2018Mad Jack\u2019 race for Pre-War Sports Cars will echo the earliest days of racing at the circuit, where the relative lack of power of some of the cars is more than compensated for by the sight of the drivers sawing at wide steering wheels as mighty Bentleys share the track with tiny Bugattis, Aston Martins, Frazer Nashes and Lagondas.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s more dramatic Touring Car action on the Monday, this time from Motor Racing Legends\u2019 Historic Touring Car Challenge for 1966-85 Touring Cars and the HRDC \u2018Touring Greats\u2019 grids, and the HSCC Super Touring Cars will be battling it out once more.<\/p>\n<p>Away from the main track, new attractions for 2015 include displays and demonstrations from historic Formula 1 and Grand Prix cars &#8212; to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the first ever Donington Grand Prix &#8212; plus \u2018Supercars across the decades\u2019. The popular historic rally cars will be burning rubber once more, with the mighty Group B machines and the iconic cars of the Historic Rally Car Register entertaining the crowds. And both the race and rally car paddocks will be open to all visitors. Historic karts will also be returning to Donington Park for the event, as will the splendid displays in the infield, staged by dozens of car clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Advance discounted tickets cost \u00a320 for a single-day ticket, \u00a332 for a two-day ticket and \u00a345 for a three-day weekend ticket (on-the-gate prices will be \u00a325, \u00a340 and \u00a360, respectively). Children aged under 16 are admitted for free. Advance discounted tickets can be bought at <a title=\"Donington Historic Festival\" href=\"http:\/\/www.doningtonhistoric.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DoningtonHistoric.com<\/a> and via the 24-hour ticket hotline 0844 873 7355.
