Paul Evans - The Welsh Motorsport & Supercar Festival - Sunday 22nd September 2024

  • Summary

  • Pembrey Circuit will host the inaugural Welsh Motorsport & Supercar Festival on Sunday 22nd September 2024, exactly 31 years to the day since the late Brazilian F1 racing driver Ayrton Senna set the fastest lap around the home of Welsh motorsport.

    It was widely reported at the time that Senna broke the Pembrey lap record in 1988, less known however is that the team returned five years later to test a ‘stretched’ McLaren MP4/8B powered by a Lamborghini V12 engine. On this day Senna recorded an incredible time of 40.60 secs which remains the fastest lap around the Pembrey Circuit today. Pembrey will open its doors providing access like never before to Supercar zones with historic F1 car displays, classic & historic car collections, modern and historic rally cars, rallycross cars, motorcycles and a glittering array of motorsport celebrities in attendance, all located in the inner paddock and throughout the venue in specially curated and easily accessible areas.

    The cars and ‘bikes won’t only be on static display as demonstration runs will take place throughout the day around the main circuit, along with tractor pulling demonstrations on the newly constructed area, to celebrate Pembrey Circuit’s rich motorsport history that dates back over 50 years.

    There will also be opportunities for fans to enjoy a lap around the famous circuit in a variety of supercars all in aid of the Morgan’s Army charity.

    A tremendous response has been received from clubs, organisations and individuals who will display at the Welsh Motorsport & Supercar Festival including the Ferrari Owners Club, Super Car Club, Club 360, TR7 Owners Club, Gilbern Owners Club, Ducati, Alpine, Castrol MEM Rally Team, Nicky Grist Motorsport, Scott Williams Motorsport, Darrian, JPR Classics, Viking Motorsport and the Howden Wheel Change Challenge – to name but a very few.

    All day entertainment will include live music and driver/celebrity interviews on the central Ralio Stage (Ralio also celebrating an anniversary at the festival marking 20 years), a funfair and junior electric moto x racing. There will be a variety of trade stands and plenty to eat and drink in The F1 Bar and the food village.
