MOLLIE'S DRIVE-IN DINER
WHERE Bristol and Oxfordshire
WHEN 30 May to 22 August
WHY Classic films and fun food at sensible prices A drive-in cinema and diner showing beloved flicks such as Back to the Future, Mrs Doubtfire and Jurassic Park. Tickets are £55, giving entry for one car with two people, plus a meal. Extra passengers cost £20 each. There's also an on-site motel to make a weekend of it.
CLASSIC NOSTALGIA
WHERE Shelsley Walsh hillclimb, Worcestershire
WHEN 20-21 July
WHY Great access to historic racers plus a vintage fashion fest A celebration of all things motorsport, with everything from old F1 cars to Group B rally weapons roaring up Shelsley Walsh. There's something for everyone to enjoy, too, including a vintage fashion contest.
RETRO RIDES GATHERING
WHERE Mallory Park, Leicestershire
WHEN 10-11 August
WHY Quirky pre-2000 cars, fun atmosphere and on-track action If Rollhard (see p43) doesn't whet your appetite for modern classics, the Retro Rides Gathering is worth a look. It adds track action to the mix (on 10 August), as well as free VIP parking for cars from before 2000.
BTCC
WHERE Silverstone, Northamptonshire
WHEN 21-22 September
WHY Tremendous racing at one of the world's most storied venues Silverstone is a fantastic place, but let's face it: the British Grand Prix hasn't produced a properly dramatic race for yonks. Instead, consider the British Touring Car Championship, which visits the circuit for its penultimate round. That raises the stakes - and the likelihood of a scrap - to boiling point.
