MSVR is celebrating the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend this Saturday and Sunday, May 4/5, with signature meetings at two of the UK’s finest circuits.

Brands Hatch prepares for two days of top class supercar racing, as Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS comes to Kent. Megastar drivers, including the likes of motorcycling icon Valentino Rossi, combine with mouth-watering machinery from Mercedes-AMG, Lamborghini and BMW, to take on the historic Grand Prix circuit. On top of the headlining championship, an exciting support race package has been assembled. Miata Trophy returns for their third and fourth rounds of the 2024 season, providing spectators with some fantastically competitive Mazda MX-5 action. Also featuring is Equipe Classic Racing, who will dazzle those in attendance with motoring nostalgia – courtesy of Equipe Libre’s ensemble of pre-1966 race cars.

There will be a whole host of retro racing at Donington Park too, for the 2024 Donington Historic Festival. Hundreds of classic machines will return to action and, rather than being museum pieces, these epic cars will be pushed to their limit. Huge variety will include pre-war sports cars, tin tops spanning multiple decades, and fire-spitting GT machinery made famous at Le Mans. The weekend also celebrates the 100th anniversary of Bentley's first win at Le Mans, with special displays and demonstrations on-track. There’s a whole host of phenomenal off-track activity too, from the numerous car clubs in attendance to the special parade laps.

It’s fair to stay we’re starting May in style.
