Must-do Motoring Events for 2020

December 17, 2019

At Auto Curators we’re great fans of motoring events. Sometimes we attend in our professional capacity. Often we’ll attend as visitors. As we look ahead to the new year, we thought we\’d bring you a round-up of the events we’re most looking forward to in 2020.

Must-do Motoring Events for 2020:

1: Goodwood Festival of Speed:

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is probably the best all-round motoring event in the UK. There’s so much to do. Including a mix of static displays and track action. This event brings motoring fans a blend of innovation, including all the latest cars and technology, and historically interesting exhibits. There’s also loads to see trackside, you won’t get that closer to F1 cars of all eras, at full chat, at any other motoring event. Trust us; we’ve been to a few!

The 2020 Goodwood Festival of Speed takes place from 9th – 12th July 2020. Find out more HERE.

2: Goodwood Revival:

This iconic event boasts the highest value starting grid of any race in the world. The chance to see hugely expensive, classic racing cars such as the Ferrari 250GTO, being thrashed around the track without mercy, is mind-blowing. The atmosphere is amazing, with everyone dressed in period costume and enjoying all the other period festivities on offer. Feel like a boogie? Head to the Butlin’s Rock & Roll Ballroom. Need to chill out after the track action? Watch a vintage movie at the Revival Cinema.

The 2020 Goodwood Revival takes place from 11th – 13th September 2020. Find out more HERE.

3: Auto Royale Althorp:

Our list of must-do motoring events wouldn’t be complete without a Concours show. This is a brand new Concours event for 2020. It will be held in the grounds of the ancestral Spencer family home, Althorp Estate. This event aims to raise the bar of European Concours events, to that of Pebble Beach in America.

Much more than a classic car show and much more than a summer party, Auto Royale Althorp brings together Europe’s finest vintage and classic car restorations of the year, and the rarest and most beautiful examples of automotive design and history from around the world.

Auto Royale Althorpe takes place from 17th – 19th July 2020. Find out more HERE.

4: Santa Pod Main Event:

This Northants Drag Racing event is a must-do motoring event. Have you ever seen a car accelerate from standstill to 300mph in 4 seconds, covering just 1/4 of a mile? You need to. The cars are completely unique to the sport. Some have engines producing more than 10,000 horsepower; these have to be seen (and heard!) to be believed. Ear protection definitely recommended for this one.

The Santa Pod Main Event takes place from 22nd – 25th May 2020. Find out more HERE.

5: Isle of Mann TT:

This one is for all you bike enthusiasts. It’s one of the most famous motorcycle events in the world, and arguably the most dangerous and exhilarating. You need to plan ahead for travel arrangements, but if you love bikes, this motoring event should definitely be on your bucket list.

The Isle of Man TT takes place takes place around the first weekend in June 2020. Find out more HERE.

6: CarFest North and CarFest South:

One to enjoy with the family. CarFest is the brainchild of DJ, Chris Evans. CarFest produces not one, but two magical weekends of music, cars and family fun, all in aid of UK children’s charities. One is hosted in Cheshire and one in Hampshire.

CarFest North takes place from 24th – 26th July 2020. CarFest South takes place from 28th – 30th August 2020. Find out more HERE.

7: Le Mans, 24 Hour:

Finally, grab your passports as we’re heading to France for this spectacular motoring event. A huge circuit and a race that lasts for a whole 24 hours. This motoring event is as much a feat of endurance for the spectators, as it is the drivers. It’s very hot, very noisy, and a hugely popular destination for groups of friends to combine sun, beer, barbecues and motorsport.

The 88th edition of this legendary endurance race will take place over 13th – 14th June 2020. Find out more HERE.

Our good friend Pete, of @petrolheadtours came to see us this week with his recent purchase. This dramatic looking Morgan Aero 8 is a very rare Series 1 car, unbelievably over 20 years old now. 
I’m fortunate that I’ve had the chance to drive these before, and the old school looks don’t prepare you for the driving experience. A very light car by modern standards, it features an aluminium chassis similar to that in a Lotus Elise, but borrows it’s drivetrain from a BMW 540i - so, a 4.4 litre, naturally aspirated V8 is under the bonnet. 
Pete is only the third owner of this amazing car, but years of someone lovingly wiping dust off the paintwork with a dry cloth had left it looking as dull as a blackboard. 
After a careful wash, there was an even more careful machine polish to carry out. The shapes are extremely awkward, and thus time consuming, but the results were well worth it. Finished with Onyx Graphene Pro ceramic coating, Pete was quite taken aback with the results when he collected it. We look forward to seeing it again at events this summer. 
Want the same for you car? Get in touch, we can help you.

This super rare Alpina B3 Touring left us this afternoon, after we installed our Extended Front end PPF package. 
Having been delivered to us directly from Sytner Nottingham, on a covered trailer, we carried out a full new car preparation, before installing Xpel Ultimate Plus over the whole front, the sills, pillars and a rear luggage strip. We ceramic coated the paintwork and wheels, and protected the beautiful interior. This car will get lots of use, and should now stay looking like this for a long time.
