A NEW ADVENTURE: REWIND TOUR BRITAIN

It’s time to welcome a new kind of historic motorsport experience to the UK. Moulded in the spirit of the original Tour of Britain from the 1970s and combining aspects of circuit racing, rallying, and hill climbs, the inaugural reimagined event will take place 27th-30th May 2027 and is brought to you by Motor Racing Legends and the British Automobile Racing Club (BARC).

The 1970s Tour of Britain was an innovative format, with stars of stage and circuit fighting head-to-head in lightly modified family saloons. Massive names like James Hunt, Graham Hill and Roger Clark were challenged on rally stages and circuit races, as well as navigating cross-country around the country. Hunt was the inaugural winner, in 1973.

Rewind Tour Britain will capture that spirit of adventure, reshaped in a new format to fit modern historic motorsport culture.

Scheduled over four days in May 2027, Rewind Tour Britain will cover around 540 miles (860km), taking competitors on an unforgettable journey across some of the UK’s most iconic motorsport venues.

Two-wheel-drive historic cars built up to 1987 will be eligible, including a dedicated class for vintage race cars. A demonstration category will also allow retro cars of significant interest that may fall outside the regulations to complete the same route.

Beginning with action at the Thruxton, the route also includes Silverstone’s Grand Prix track, demanding hillclimbs and special stages at locations ranging from Blenheim Palace to the military ranges of Caerwent and Epynt.
