Retro Rides Weekender

Multi-marque shows offer a lot of diversity, it’s baked into their very nature. And within the swirling maelstrom of unusualness that’s always found at Retro Rides events, it’s pleasing to see that there’s been a swelling Mini contingent in recent years; indeed, the 2024 Weekender was positively swarming with them.

If you haven’t yet visited2018 at the picturesque and historic Goodwood Motor Circuit, this two-day event began as a southern offshoot to the long-standing Retro Rides Gathering, but has grown exponentially into a magnificent event all of its own. There’s an incredible amount to see, from hydro-hopping lowriders to period-perfect Modsports racers and much more besides, and the thing that really makes it accessible is the atmosphere. This is a happy, welcoming and all-inclusive show; everyone’s got a smile on their face and there’s a strong feeling that it’s all about the vibes, about creating memories, catching up with old friends and making new ones.
