A Cross-Club Fundraising Event at Bicester Motion
StarterMotor Charity is delighted to announce the inaugural StarterMotor Festival, an exclusive, cross–car club fundraising event taking place at Bicester Motion, Oxfordshire, on Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd May 2026.
Designed to bring together classic and historic car clubs in support of StarterMotor’s charitable work, the two-day event will combine driving experiences, friendly competition and unique access to one of the UK’s most historic automotive venues.
Friday 1st May – Demonstration Track Experience
Friday afternoon will offer participants the opportunity to access the Demonstration Track. This is your chance to experience the thrill of circuit driving in your own car in a low-pressure, controlled and supportive environment.
In addition to track sessions, attendees will enjoy exclusive access to activities across Bicester Motion’s historic site. While the full programme is still being finalised, plans include:
- Guided tours of the site
- Opportunities to meet and engage with on-site specialists
- Expert-led workshops and discussions
This promises to be an entertaining and engaging day for both drivers and visitors alike.
Saturday 2nd May – AutoSolo Event
On Saturday, the focus shifts to friendly competition with a specially designed AutoSolo event held on the track. Invited clubs and their members will have the opportunity to test their precision and car control in a series of enjoyable and accessible courses.
With space to relax, bring a picnic and enjoy Bicester Motion’s unique surroundings, Saturday offers a relaxed yet engaging conclusion to what promises to be a memorable two-day fundraising festival.
Please note that AutoSolo entries are limited to 50 spaces, so early registration is encouraged.
