Croft Circuit will host its final race meeting of the 2026 season next weekend when the 750 Motor Club returns to the North Yorkshire track.

The two-day meeting on Saturday and Sunday, September 19 and 20, will feature 19 races across nine different series, with everything from single-seaters and sports cars to BMWs and hatchbacks taking to the circuit.

It will be the 750 Motor Club’s second visit to Croft this year.

Saturday’s programme will include two races featuring the 116 Sprint Trophy and 120 Coupe Cup. The Sprint Trophy uses 1.6-litre E87 BMWs, while the Coupe Cup is based around the first-generation 190bhp BMW 120i Coupe.

Single-seater racing will come from the Disklok F1000 Championship, with drivers competing in Jedi machines twice on Saturday and again on Sunday.

The Radical Club Challenge will hold two races on Saturday, while the Nankang Tyre Locost Championship will feature once on Saturday and twice the following day.

Also competing during the weekend will be the Swift Sport Challenge, which is open to drivers aged 16 and over, and the 5Club MX5 Cup, featuring 1.6-litre Mazda MX-5s.

The Formula Vee Championship will add another two races to the programme.

One of Sunday’s highlights will be the Gaz Shocks 116 Trophy, which will stage a 90-minute endurance race.

The budget one-make championship uses first-generation BMW 1 Series cars, with teams of one, two or three drivers required to make a compulsory pit stop during the race.

On-track action begins at 9.30am on Saturday, with the first race scheduled for 12.15pm. Sunday’s racing gets underway at noon.

Advance adult admission costs £18 per person for each day, rising to £20 on the gate. Children aged 15 and under can attend free when accompanied by an adult, while car parking is also free.

Croft’s Hangar 50 Café and other catering outlets around the circuit will be open during the weekend.

The meeting will bring the curtain down on Croft’s 2026 racing calendar.
