Event Description

Motorsport at Grimsthorpe Castle started in 1903 with members of the Lincolnshire Automobile Club holding the first timed runs over a half mile course in the old deer park.

Over a century later we are reviving the spirit of these early meetings used by pioneer racers to prove their machines and driving skill, transporting our guests back in time to the early days of British Motorsport with over 100 cars and motorcycles from the pre-war and Edwardian periods.

The backdrop to the Grimsthorpe Speed Trials will be the stunning red deer park, a large natural lake and the castle itself.

On the day the cars and motorcycles will be tested three times up and down the sinuous ½ mile track from the start line beside the lake, gently climbing to the finish beside the castle.

All our visitors have full access to the paddock, where there is always ample opportunity to talk to the drivers and riders and look under the bonnet of a Bugatti or Aston Martin rarely seen in public.
