Must Do - Tick the box car events

[XTR2Turbo]

It's that time of the year when I populate my diary with car events for next year.

 

Its filling up nicely and I have in the usual stuff, goodwood, speed series, stoneleigh, Le Mans, Prescott, London to Brighton etc  etc that I do most years.

 

I would like to do a few new things this year. Any suggestions for events / petrol head activities to add - ideally something special - even if it involves a holiday and travel. Ideally outside of UK summer period as plenty to do here then.  Also keen on a car based trip around my Birthday end of March rather than going to a beach again.

 

At the moment I have as possibles for next year:

Hershey Car meet in the US

US Speed Week

Mille Miglia

Monaco Grand Prix

Ford Museum Detroit / Motor show  (I have a Model T so fancy visiting )

Alaska Road trip

 

Any other suggestions? What have you guys done?

Thanks  Is that Majorca?  I could go cycle training on the island and watch cars ;-)

It is! Came across it when I was out there staying with my sister! The three goons from topgear did it a few years ago!

Circuit des Remparts is great

Race Retro at Stoneleigh in February, always a good day out and the group B rally cars being used in anger on the rally stage is worth the entrance fee alone.

Thanks for the ideas.  Keep them coming

I was in LA earlier in the month, had planned to visit the Peterson car museum but was closed for renovation, was gutted - We did the space shuttle instead which to use an overused phrase - awesome. Still an excuse to go again

No problem Steve

 

I go most years and always enjoy it, some cool stuff to look at and a good way to get a bit of a motorsport fix during the cold winter months.

Did Monaco about 5 years ago and it was enjoyable, but the racing was only part of the experience. I stayed 400 yds from the Casino and the sights / atmosphere in the evening were just as interesting      . But having done it I wouldn't go back as far more enjoyable places to see a GP.

Nick  You are probably right.  I booked Spa F1 a few years ago and was disappointed by the facilities and organisation. Might be the same for Monaco but feel like I want to try.
