-Enjoy the thrill of racing close-up at the historic Castle Combe Circuit.
-Immerse yourself in the heyday of racing at the Goodwood Revival, where drivers race sports cars of the 1950s and 1960s, and the music, food, attire, and overalambiancece reflect the era.
-Visit spectacular public and private collections, including the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Collection and Donington's renowned collection of Grand Prix cars from the 1930s to today.
It's a 10 day tour, with a visit to John Cooper Works on the 6th, including the chance to "meet Cooper's son Michael to discuss his father's career and the development of the Mini Cooper, past and present.".
