The entry list for the 2023 Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard has been revealed, and this mind blowing who’s who and what’s what of motorsport might be the best we’ve ever had.
From F1 drivers to the greatest Le Mans cars in history the Festival of Speed will blow all of our minds once more, topped off with an incredible Timed Shootout. We won’t go through every single car, but here’s some select highlights.
Starting with the debuts. The supercar run has, just to name a few, appearances from the Lamborghini Revuelto, McLaren Solus GT, Hyundai N Vision 74, Aston Martins DB12, Valkyrie Spider, and Valkyrie AMR Pro. There’s also the latest Porsches reimagined by Singer, the Bentley Batur and more. And that’s not the end of the debuts. From First Glance presented by Heycar we have the Renault Austral, BMW i5, Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster, Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, Kia EV9, Alpine A290_B, Lotus Eletre, Polestar 3 and that’s just to name a few.
To go through the list of racing cars in detail would make this article half the length of GRR’s archived history so we won’t. But do check out the cool cars coming to take part in Drifkhana this year – yes Mad Mike is back! – and the rallying machinery, including Ken Block’s final mad machine, the Hoonitron.
Other rally cars include the current Pua WRC – with champion Ott Tänak at the wheel – Thierry Neuville in his current Hyundai i20 N, and Elfyn Evans in the latest GR Yaris Rally1.
One of this year's biggest themes will be MotoGP and one of the most incredible selections of bikes ever seen at the Festival. Ten riders will be on the Hill on current MotoGP including reigning World Champion Francesco Bagnaia and the Ducati team. In total we'll have 32 Motocycle World Championships between riders including Àlex Crivillé, Casey Stoner, Freddie Spencer, Giacomo Agostini, Kenny Roberts Jr., Kevin Schwantz, Mick Doohan and Wayne Gardner.
The centenary of the Le Mans 24 Hours is celebrated with over 30 cars from the history of the World’s Greatest Motor Race, including Audis R10 and R18, the current Glickenhaus, the 1924 winning Bentley and the current Le Mans winning 499P which will be on static display.
A celebration of NASCAR will include the Garage 56 Camaro ZL1 and the original NASCAR cars that raced, at Le Mans back in 1976. We’ll also be celebrating 30 years of the Festival of Speed itself with cars including the Hill record holding McMurtry Spéirling, Mercedes-Benz 300SLR and the mighty Beast of Turin, the Fiat S76.
Lotus and McLaren both have incredible lists of cars, too long to go into here, as well as our Central Feature marque for 2023, Porsche and an incredible number of legends from Stuttgart.
