The Supercar Fest flagship event returns to Sywell Aerodrome for the 5th year, now well-established as one of the major dynamic supercar events on the UK Calendar. As always expect more supercars, more action, better viewing and, of course, the First Point Hypercar Zone.
The Runway event will see top speeds recorded along the 1km straight and displayed on the giant screen in front of the main grandstand situated by the start line. In 2024 the amazing Lotus Evija hit 212 mph which is going to be a hard one to beat!
There is plenty more happening over the two days with great viewing in the Supercar Paddock where you can meet the owners and there are also specialist cars added to the mix including some classics. The Lotus Drivers Club are among a number of invited Car Clubs as well as Supercar dealers and manufacturers and be sure to check out the interactive exhibitor stands. The food court sells a variety of local produce from a selection of food trucks and Iconic Auctioneers are back with their famous ‘May Sale’ with a huge eclectic mix of interesting cars and automobilia from all eras.
Sywell Aerodrome opened in 1928 as a grass strip for the emerging private aircraft craze. During the 2nd World War, it became RAF Sywell and was used for training pilots using Tiger Moths and it also became a repair centre for Wellington bombers. The venue was used for the 1969 film Battle of Britain featuring Michael Caine. In 2007 the venue was granted permission to install a concrete runway which was completed in 2009. And this runway is an integral part of the ‘side by side’ action at Supercar Fest in May.
Club members can book display parking for only £45.00 per car including all occupants. Park close to all the action and benefit from early entry from 7:30 am. For more information on the Club display please contact George Pearson by emailing g.pearson@lotusdriversclub.org.uk
The show opens at 9.00 am (closes at 6.00 pm) with live action from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm. There will be no on-site camping facilities but Sywell Aerodrome has its own hotel called The Aviator where rooms are available on a first come first served basis.
