No nation is more passionate about its racing history than Italy, and Brands Hatch’s popular Festival Italia returns once again in 2021 to celebrate the history and emotion of the country’s most iconic marques.
The event is a real opera of speed and sound, mixing a thrilling Ferrari-headlined racing line-up with special demonstrations from Grand Prix and single seater machinery from days gone by. There will be retro Alfa Romeo racing too, plus lots of other on-track activity, including an on track demonstration from historic Abarths.
A full line-up of Italian themed race content is confirmed, and features the Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic, Ferrari Club Racing, Alfa Romeo Championship and the HRDC Classic Alfa Challenge.
Car displays are a huge part of the event too, and there will be countless machines from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Abarth, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Lancia and more filling the venue. They will be accompanied by stunning Italian bikes and scooters, and a delightful line-up of other off-track treats for visitors to enjoy.

Paddock Hill grandstand provides superb views through one of Brands Hatch's most iconic bends and is an ideal location to watch the start line action, as the field jostle for position heading into the first corner.
