Named after Richard ‘Mad Jack’ Shuttleworth\, winner of the first-ever Donington Grand Prix in 1935\, featuring huge 1920s and ’30s Bentleys and powerful Bugattis and Frazer Nash sharing the circuit with tiny Morgans\, Austin Sevens and Rileys. \nThe 80th anniversary of Richard Seaman and Hans Ruesch’s victory in the 1936 Donington Grand Prix is celebrated this year with the HGPCA Nuvolari Trophy\, in which the HGPCA will be fielding a grid of iconic Grand Prix and Voiturette cars up to 1950\, such as P3 Alfa Romeos\, Bugatti T35s and T37s\, ERAs\, Talbot-Lagos and 8CM Maseratis. \nThe inimitable speed and style of 1950s and ’60s sportscars and GT cars such as C and D-type Jaguars\, 300S Maseratis\, Lister Costins and Cooper Bobtails will be seen in the Royal Automobile Club Woodcote Trophy\, the Stirling Moss Trophy and the GT & Sports Car Cup. And ‘big cat’ fans can enjoy watching a range of pre-66 in the Jaguar Heritage Challenge. \nClassic touring car racing is always popular with the Donington Historic crowds. The HRDC ‘Touring Greats’ will pitting Mk1 Jaguars against Austin A35s\, Hillman Imps\, Morris Minors and Ford Prefects\, while the HRDC ‘BTCC Celebration 1958-1966’ will see Minis battling with Ford Mustangs and Lotus Cortinas. \nBringing Touring Car racing into the sixties\, seventies and eighties the Historic Touring Car Challenge (think Capris\, Rover TWR Vitesses and XJS Jaguars) and the HSCC Super Touring Car Trophy\, which sees cars such as Honda Accords and Ford RS500s taking on Nissan Primeras and Alfa Romeo 156’s. \nNew for 2016 is a round of the Pre-80 Endurance Series\, making its DHF debut and bringing with it an unmissable mix of sports-racing\, GT and Touring Cars such as Porsche 935s\, Lola T282s\, Chevron B26s and B19s\, Porsche Carreras and Morgan Plus 8s. \nDonington Historic Festival’s mammoth ‘1000km’ race is always a highlight of the meeting. Recreating the spectacular sports prototype battles of the early 1970s\, it also features Touring and GT cars\, as was traditional back in period. This is where Lola T70s and Chevron B8s thunder round Donington Park\, lights flashing\, as dusk descends. \nFinally (Phew!)\, single-seater fans can enjoy a round of the HSCC Historic Formula 2 International Series\, where March takes on Brabham and Chevron fights for glory against Lola and Ralt. \nThe action doesn’t stop when the chequered flag falls\, of course. The unmistakable sound of historic Formula 1 engines will reverberate round Donington Park once more\, in a series of high octane demonstration runs.  The ever-popular historic rally cars burn rubber as the mighty Group B machines and the cars of the Historic Rally Car Register entertain the crowds. Historic karts will also return to Donington Park for the event\, as will dozens of car clubs\, who will gather in the Club Village in the infield. The race and rally paddocks are both open-access and always draw big crowds. \nIn 2015 dozens of car clubs turned out to pack the Donington circuit infield with hundreds of classic cars.  Festival organisers will once again be inviting car clubs to join the party and stage displays at Donington Historic Festival 2016. \nThe ‘Mad Jack’ for pre-War Sports Cars at DHF 2015.
