Brooklands Auto Italia Sat 3rd May
« on: January 01, 2026, 08:26:05 PM »
Sat 2nd May
Brooklands Auto Italia

Now in its 32nd year, the Auto Italia Italian Car Day art Brooklands has become the jewel in the crown for Italian car owners and admirers. The unique combination of the track demonstration of selected, special cars, and the chance for owners to drive their own cars up the demanding test hill, is complemented with extensive club displays. If you arrive in an Italian car, you can join in with the fun.
Do you have a rare, one of a kind Italian car with an interesting history, or is of special interest? If so, it might be the ideal addition to our display area, the Nuvolari Paddock, for visitors to enjoy. Please send your name, details, and photo of the car to Claire at claire@auto-italia.co.uk for consideration.

Car Clubs please use the form on Brooklands website for discounted Car Club entry. Pre-booked only.
For information on taking part on the track and test hill email phil@auto-italia.co.uk

Tickets will be on sale on the Brooklands Museum website. Please pre-book your discounted tickets for the event.

Hi Tony,
Can you help me to find the Car Club page on the website?
Maybe it's hidden in plain sight.

I think I am going to join.  In my case its only round the corner and it seems I am going at least three or four times a year so seems rude not to.  Neil Sim's sometimes sends a thing to print and stick in your windscreen, if I see it I can attach here maybe.

Thanks Tim. My browser won't let me in right now. Says it's detecting
suspicious activity!

I'll try tomorrow with a different browser.

Luckily I'm staying overnight close by.

What's the consensus on arrival time? And which is the best entrance for us?

Yes please Mark.
Can you bring them with you?
If so that would be great.

Yes, that's one of the 2 gates listed, open all day.
I'll head there unless suggested otherwise.

From Neil Sims this morning

Lancia groups to have direct access to Brooklands via Mercedes-Benz World and the Vickers Bridge. The gate will be open from 08.45 to 09.00. Latecomers will need to enter via the main gate.
