Race Retro 2026

Annual gathering at Stoneleigh Exhibition Center starts the season off right!

For many, Race Retro marks the traditional start of the UK racing season; held at the National Agricultural Exhibition Centre, which is a large facility comprising several exhibition halls but also a network of narrow roads on site which can be used as live rally stages, making it both a unique and superb venue. The show is held for three days, Friday to Sunday, with the four rally sessions (over different stage routes) on Saturday and Sunday.

I’m going to shamelessly copy the organizer’s introduction to the event because it says it all perfectly:
