The year 2026 has arrived, which means the time is upon us to start proactively looking ahead to another blockbuster motorsport season across the MSV group of circuits. Brands Hatch, Donington Park, Oulton Park, Snetterton and Cadwell Park will all host a wide range of events across the next 12 months, whilst Circuito de Navarra in northern Spain will also host a busy calendar.
Tickets for many of this year’s race events, including the vast majority of promoted highlight fixtures, are on sale now, with advance admission prices lower than full price entry on the gate. And if you’re a regular visitor you can make bigger savings still, by purchasing a season pass.
‘Century of Power’ celebrations at Brands Hatch
Brands Hatch will mark a major milestone in 2026 with a special ‘Century of Power’ programme of celebrations across the entire season to mark its 100th anniversary. The theme will feature prominently throughout a calendar which includes rounds of all the UK’s major national circuit racing championships, plus the venue’s strongest ever line-up of historic events. Season passes and event tickets for many highlights are available now.
British Superbike Championship 30th anniversary campaign
The British Superbike Championship reaches a landmark of its own this year, with eight rounds taking place at MSV circuits during its 30th anniversary season. This includes the Oulton Park season opener (2-4 May), plus the finale at Brands Hatch on 16-18 October. The calendar also features visits to Donington Park and Snetterton, plus the standout Cadwell Park party in the park on August Bank Holiday weekend. The summer Brands Hatch event (17-19 July) will also take on extra significance as a cornerstone of the circuit’s centenary line-up.
Flagship international showpieces
Both Brands Hatch and Donington Park will be visited by headline international events in 2026, with GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS and the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship both returning to the UK this summer. World class GT superstars will take to the Brands Hatch GP loop on 2/3 May while Donington Park’s international two-wheeled extravaganza hits the East Midlands on 10-12 July.
Staples of the national scene
MSV venues will host multiple rounds of the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship once more, including the season opener at Donington Park on 18/19 April and decider at Brands Hatch on 10/11 October. The series also visits Snetterton and Oulton Park and features additional events at both Brands Hatch and Donington Park. British GT visits each of those venues too, including a bank holiday special at Oulton Park (23 and 25 May), and a season finale at Brands Hatch on 26/27 September.
Super-sized track action
Another major championship to look out for is the British Truck Racing Championship, which kicks off at Brands Hatch over Easter (4/5 April). Snetterton will feature a new height of summer date on 11/12 July, whilst Donington Park remains in the middle of the year on 8/9 August. Brands Hatch will then close things out again with another edition of Trucks and Fireworks on Sunday 1 November.
Family fun
On top of the established headline championships and series, MSV will run a selection of family-friendly festivals, catering for a wide variety of audiences and themes. The highest profile of these will be American SpeedFest, which is back for another NASCAR-headlined weekend of fun on 6/7 June. Other themed events include fixtures dedicated to Italian and British cars, supercars, Fords, classic icons and more!
Retro racedays
Each venue will host historic race meetings in 2026. This includes Brands Hatch’s strongest ever line-up, featuring the all-new London Historic Trophy (19-21 June) and Masters Historic Festival (30/31 May). The refreshed Touring Car Rewind arrives at the Kent circuit on 1/2 August in addition to an Oulton Park version on 16 May. Signature retro fixtures including the Donington Historic Festival (1-3 May), Oulton Park Gold Cup (29-31 August) and Cadwell Park Wolds Trophy (13/14 June).
