The BRDC Classic (formerly the Silverstone Festival) takes place on July 24th-26th 2026. This year marks the return of the Classic in its traditional form — a premier historic racing weekend with the spotlight firmly back on the track, and fewer of the broader ‘family’ attractions such as food halls and playgrounds. It's also hoped that many of the long‑standing classic car traders will be rejoining the event after drifting away during its more recent reinventions.
Club Lotus and the LDC will have display areas on the infield, and Club Lotus will also be running track parades for their members on Saturday 25th lunchtime for the Esprit, Elise, Exige, 340R and Europa to mark their important anniversaries.

The annual Ricketts Racing open day will take place from noon to 6 pm on Saturday 26th September, at The Old Dairy Barn, Lamer Lane, Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire, AL4 8RG. This event is always popular, with a great assortment of historic Lotus cars expected to attend. There is also a special event planned, details soon!
If you own a HLR period Lotus you are invited to park up in the workshop courtyard, and are kindly asked to arrive between 11 am and noon, ahead of the crowds.
You can read a report of the 2025 event from Historic Lotus here, which gives a flavour of the event. There's also a video here.
There will be food available, and the proceeds from the day are donated to a local charity, the Isabel Hospice in Welwyn Garden City.
