The Festival Italia returns to Brands Hatch this weekend, as the Indy circuit hosts the iconic festival on Sunday.

There will be a full day of action on and off the track, track action will be focused on Italian horsepower, with headline entertainment from the Superformance Ferrari Club Classic series for retro machines bearing the ‘Prancing Horse’ emblem.

Additional competitive action will come from retro Alfa Romeos, and there will be special demonstrations too, including from retro F1 cars and the Maserati MCXtrema hypercar.

This is much more than a race event though, and there will be an extensive off-track show featuring car and bike displays, plus a wealth of culture. This includes the Festival Italia Food Market, featuring a range of Mediterranean flavours, and the all-new Italian Kitchen presented by Hexclad and Louisa’s Honey, where star cooks, including former Great British Bake Off and MasterChef contenders, will demonstrate their skill and techniques.

Other attractions will include the Birra Moretti Beer Garden with live music, plus a free grid walk allowing spectators to unwind, relax and soak up the atmosphere of a sumptuous summer motorsport fixture in style.
