The racing

Pickup Racing Championship

We’re pleased to be joined by the Pickup Racing Championship for another year, with 20 teams running purpose-built 230hp racing pickups, at only 900kg these 2 litre spaceframe pickups put all the emphasis on driver skill, racing within an inch of one another with no room to spare.

Modified Ford Series

The Modified Ford Series was created to provide ‘the place to race’ for the huge variation of modified Ford (production) cars that have been developed over the past 50 years, where most series or championships impose specification restrictions that exclude so many. This grid sees fan favourite machines take on Lydden Hill like never before, racing door-to-door in well-presented high performance machines!

500 Owners Association

The 500 Owners Association caters for period cars of 500 cc Formula 3, 1946 to 1961, running a successful Motorsport UK recognised race series. The roots of the 500 movement go back to before the war when two overlapping groups of enthusiasts built and competed in cars based on similar principles to those of the 500 Club, namely simple, light weight cars, using relatively small capacity engines and aimed at the amateur.

European Late Model Series

Taking advantage of the ‘fastest oval in the UK’ is the series born by the CAMSO V8 Ovals and Speedworth International running North American Stock Cars fitted with fire-breathing V8 engines akin to NASCAR over in the USA, with many competitors trailing from oversees for the only event held outside of Europe, we can’t wait to see them!
Nothing comes close to the sight and sounds of the European Late Model series taking on Lydden Hill Race Circuit.
