Race Week is now in its second year. The main event kicks off on Tuesday 30th June in the heart of the City of London in the stunning grounds of the Honorable Artillery Company. The 6 acre site will be the home for F1 cars, drivers and stars alike as they celebrate the glamour of motorsport in a garden party atmosphere.

As part of the action, there will be a display of some of the world's rarest F1 cars throughout history, from Jenson Button's current 2015 Honda McLaren car, right back to James Hunt's iconic McLaren M23.

This festival of all things fast will give guests the chance to test their skills by trying out the F1 simulators and pit themselves against times set by F1 drivers. As well as memorabilia and other luxury brands on display, there will be plenty of entertainment with QandAs from F1 team bosses and drivers that will take place throughout the day.

The centerpiece of Race Week will be the revival of the historic cricket match played in the 70's by legendary F1 drivers such as James Hunt and Niki Lauda. This year will be even more nostalgic with the opposing team fielded by the cricket charity The Lord's Taverners who formed the stellar opposition in the original game. The highest scoring player from that original match, none other than Sir Michael Parkinson, will be our honorary umpire on the day.
