The 2017 Festival of Speed Presented by Mastercard, will take place from June 29th to July 2nd.
Amongst a glittering array of cars and motorcycles from around the world, this year the festival will celebrate racing machines that were so fast, powerful, expensive or complicated that the rules had to be changed to rein them in. This year’s theme – ‘Peaks of Performance – Motorsport’s Game-Changers’ – will pay tribute to the high-watermarks of motorsport.
The event will showcase the greatest examples of this theme. From the jewel-like 1.5-litre Delage 15 S8 to the brutish Mercedes-Benz W125, the extraordinary 50cc Honda RC166 to the savage Lancia Delta S4, the beautiful Ferrari 330 P4 to the space-age Benetton B193B, or the unbeatable Penske PC23 to the flame-spitting Zakspeed Capri, these are cars and motorcycles that left an indelible mark on the history of motorsport.

By the time the car finally returned to the road in 2024, […]
This Daihatsu Hi-Jet auction result genuinely surprised us. Not because we didn’t like it. Quite the opposite. We absolutely loved this tiny Japanese 4×4 when we spotted it at Anglia Car Auctions. But with a £9,000 to £11,000 estimate, we wondered whether its sheer quirkiness might make it a difficult thing to value. We were […]
We buy some strange things. Usually they have wheels. This one doesn’t. Today’s purchase is probably one of the more unusual motoring-related objects we’ve brought home: an enormous reproduction of the Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy. It stands around 77cm tall, sits on a marble plinth and weighs an absolute ton. Well, perhaps ...
