Details of the annual Retro Rides Weekender have been announced for 2022.
Described as the UK’s ‘ultimate retro and modified classic car event’, more than 800 pre-2000 vehicles are expected to attend on 21 and 22 May.
Curated displays, on-track action and live stunts will all be part of the event, which takes place at Goodwood Motor Circuit.
For 2022, the Goodwood paddock will be filled with four special displays. The Classic Touring Car Racing Club (CTCRC) section will include everything from pre-1966 classic Touring cars through to Super Tourers on their stand.
More practical vehicles will be celebrated by the Truck Van Wagon display, featuring minitrucks, campers and estate cars.
Paying homage to the Haynes Motor Museum, the Red Room will (naturally) play host to cars painted red.
Finally, the ‘Deadline’ area will allow enthusiasts to display their recently finished projects and new builds.
Enthusiasts can apply for a space in one of the displays now. All retro car owners are invited to book a spot in the pre-2000 retro parking, or join one of the club stand areas.
Applications will shortly open for the chance to drive the Goodwood Motor Circuit, too. Drivers can take part in a point-to-point Sprint event on Saturday 21 May. This is said to be suitable for everything from daily-driver vehicles through to race-prepared machines.
Sunday 22 May will see Auto Solo time trials take place on the track, with a diverse list of entries promised.
David Murphy, event director for Retro Rides, said: “After the successes of our 2021 event, we’re opening up new areas for 2022, bringing in more atmosphere and continuing to tweak and improve on what has gone before. As the show has reached a wider audience, we’ve found a deep-felt enthusiasm for our unique way of having fun with cars. We love that a late 90’s Nissan Micra can rub shoulders with classic supercars or the latest top-level restomod. It’s all about that enthusiasm for cars.”
Tickets for the Retro Rides Weekender are on sale now, starting at £15 for advanced single-day access. Weekend tickets, covering Friday to Sunday, are priced from £49.
Camping options are also available, although more than 50 percent of these tickets have already been sold.
