The timetable for the Donington Historic Festival 2016 will feature 17 races showcasing competition cars from the 1920s to the 1990s, as Donington Park drives back in time from Saturday 30th April to 2nd Monday May over the Bank Holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

With three full days of racing, each featuring a mix of grids across a range of eras from pre-War to the 1990s, the Donington Historic Festival aims to offer something for everyone.Die-hard World Sportscar fans have a whole 180 minutes of racing to revel in with Saturday\u2019s \u20181000km\u2019, while lovers of early Grand Prix racing have two HGPCA Nuvolari Trophy races. Touring Car, sports car and GT enthusiasts have grids awaiting them, Jaguar purists have the Jaguar Classic Challenge, and those who believe racing cars are best with just one seat can enjoy two HSCC Historic Formula 2 races as well as the aforementioned Nuvolari Trophy.<\/p>\n

Special track parades and demonstrations, including historic Formula 1 cars on the Saturday and Sunday and tyre-squealing Group B and Historic Rally Car Register and period karting displays on all three days, add to the non-stop action, while spectators can also visit the open-access race and rally car paddocks or soak up the fabulous racetrack views while wandering around the car club displays in the infield.<\/p>\n

Not all the action is reserved for Donington Park itself. On the Saturday evening, a selection of some 30 world-class competition cars head to Castle Donington village, where they will entertain thousands of locals and visitors, parading round the local streets before parking up to form a highly photogenic display.<\/p>\n
