The Guernsey Motor Festival is an annual event for the Island, that will be taking place this year over two days on the weekend of the 16-17th July 2016.
Welcome to the page of the Guernsey Motor Festival. This exciting event is jointly organised by the Guernsey Motor Cycle & Car Club LBG, the Guernsey Kart & Motor Club LBG and the Guernsey Autocross Club.
The Festival will this year be taking place over two days on the weekend of the 16-17th July 2016, and kicks off on the Saturday with the Avon Tyres/TTC Group MSA British Hillclimb Championship at Le Val des Terres. We are pleased to be welcoming the elite drivers and their exceptionally rapid cars from the UK Hillclimb Championship to our shores, to do battle with local drivers and our close neighbours from Jersey in the quest for FTD (Fastest Time of the Day), and a haul of championship points in the Two Championship Top 12 Run offs.
At the top of the Val des Terres, we will also be welcoming a fantastic line up of 9 local motor franchise dealers from the Guernsey Motor Trades Association. They will be showcasing a variety of new vehicles from their various dealerships in the largest motor show the Island has ever seen. They will be setting up an incredible display from the top of Le Val des Terres across to Fort Road, and there are some very exciting vehicles making their way to the Island specifically for this show.
The following day will see our Motorsport Seafront Sunday. The Seafront of St Peter Port will be closed from the Town Church to the Weighbridge roundabout, and expect to see a wide array of motorsport, specialist and road going vehicles. There will be displays from a wide range of local clubs to include the following:-
Classic Car Club
Guernsey Military Vehicle Group
