MONACO HISTORIC GRAND PRIX, 24th-27th APRIL 2026
The dates for the 99th Year of the “Most Beautiful Race in the World” have not yet offically been announced, but through a bit of detective work we’ve have been able to work it out. The route and dates are officialy announced next Tuesday. We have finalised our package for the 2026 Race.
The Fast Lane Club are main sponsor of the 1000 Miglia which gives us guaranteed entries into the race. We were fully booked for 2026 but as the race is now so close to the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, we have two entries still available.
To take part, cars must have been built before 1957 and have been a make/model that took part in period. We also have “arrive & drive” options. The entry & support package is the best we have put together yet.

MONACO HISTORIC GRAND PRIX24th-27th APRIL 2026
In partnership with Impulse F1, Cherry Travel & Burgess Yachts, the Fast Lane Club are offering an incredible weekend of hospitality at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix. The event takes place every two years and is a chance to hear the amazing V8, V10 & V12 engines of the, dare I say it, “the good old days” racing around the streets of Monaco when the cars were small enough to be able to actually overtake each other!
Our 3 night Package will offer wonderful hospitality, trackside viewing from two great locations and first-class hotels in the centre of Monaco. Limited to just 10 couples, prices will start at £4,950 per person.

YORKSHIRE ELEGANCE 2026 EDITION: 13th-16th July 2026, GRANTLEY HALL.
TWO DAY DRIVING TOUR: The Driving Day proved to be very popular this year, we have decided to make the drive element of the event 2 days (rather than 1). The Drive will start & finish at Grantley Hall. The Tour will head North from Grantley on Monday 13th July with an overnight stay and dinner at Matfen Hall (TBC) and return back to Grantley on 14th with the evening BBQ & Concours Preview party on the back lawn which was very popular this year.
THE SHOW DAYS: Will be on Wednesday, 15th & Thursday 16th July on the main lawns of Grantley Hall. Based on feedback from this (which was overwhelmingly positive, so thank you) we will make some tweaks and improvements to the format & layout, but mainly to further improving the hospitality. There will be new packages for the event, some of which will include accommodation at Grantley Hall.

The Great British Car Journey:
Celebrating Britain’s contribution to popular motoring
Over 130 carefully chosen vehicles tell the story of the British motor industry on an interactive journey spanning the last 100 years.
Guided by an audio-visual tablet, visitors will meet the two founding fathers of the industry: Herbert Austin and William Morris, whose vast manufacturing plants in the Midlands produced millions of cars which were exported all over the world. British cars heralded a global transport revolution mobilising billions of people.
Now that era has passed. Cars have since become as reliable and disposable as a domestic appliance, and the industry has become globalised and centred in the East. China is the world’s largest car manufacturer, whilst Japan leads the export race which was once a British preserve. Austin, Morris and many other British brands have long since disappeared. however, they are now experiencing a renaissance in the Derbyshire Dales.
From the legendary Austin Seven to the magnificent Mini, Great British Car Journey tells the fascinating story of engineering, enterprise and endeavour which, for a brief period, saw British cars rule the road.

The museum specialises in vehicles dating from 1918 through to 1976 a period which many visitors will be able to remember. The first phase of the Museum was completed in June 1996. When completed the museum will have over 40 cars and commercial vehicles and 30 motorbike’s, along with an admirable collection of memorabilia including engines, signs, cycles, vintage pumps and many more interesting items.

This is done within the museums workshop and when under way visitors can call at the viewing area and see just how it’s done. The restoration of vehicles is not just limited to the museum exhibits. If you are impressed by what you see and have a vehicle you would like restoring why not talk to us, we’ll do our very best to help you.
