CROFT Circuit celebrates mid-summer in truly appropriate style when the North Yorkshire welcomes the Ferrari Owners Club of Great Britain for a weekend of Italian elegance.

The iconic Maranello brand will take centre stage on Saturday and Sunday with races for the Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic, for cars from the 1970s to 1990s, and Ferrari Club Racing Series, for cars from recent years, each day as well as exciting Italian-inspired support races from the 750MC HITEK Alfa Romeo Championship.

And just for good measure, the Darlington & District Motor Club-organised Northern Sports and Saloon Car Championship will see a packed grid of diverse machinery of all makes battle it out in two races around the full international circuit.

In addition, there will be various parades around the track and other circuit activities throughout the weekend but whilst the current government restrictions prevail, there is no spectator access to the paddock or grid areas, but a special provision has been made so fans can view the static displays and track parade cars, plus the display from JTC600, from the main access road.

There are no tickets available for sale on the gate, all must be purchased in advance by booking online at www.croftcircuit.co.uk. Adult admission costs £15 per day (plus booking fee) with accompanied children aged 15 and under admitted free (must be advised when booking). Thereafter, a reference number will be given to allow access upon arrival. Tickets are limited and may sell out quickly.

Saturday’s action starts with practice from 9.30am and four races from 1.30pm with Sunday morning seeing the Grand Arrival of the Ferrari Owner’s Club GT Tour at 10am followed by the first of six races from 12.10pm.
