This Weekend: Race of Remembrance 2026
From 6–8 November, Anglesey Circuit will host Race of Remembrance, Mission Motorsport's flagship annual event.
At its heart is the Remembrance Service, bringing together serving personnel, veterans, families, motorsport teams and supporters to remember those who have served and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Alongside the service, the weekend will feature a packed programme of motorsport, including the Biathlon of Foolishness, Supercar Saturday, the ClubSport Trophy race and, of course, the main 12-hour endurance race.
It's a weekend that brings together competition, camaraderie and remembrance, providing an opportunity to remember, reflect and celebrate the community that brings us together.

Race of Remembrance 2026 – Official Launch at Thruxton
On 2 October, we proudly launched Race of Remembrance 2026 at Thruxton Circuit, bringing together our beneficiaries, race teams, sponsors, supporters, volunteers, press and invited guests ahead of this year's sold-out event.
It was a brilliant day of activity, with passenger rides around the circuit, the skid pan, dual-control driving and our split-control 'Lightning McQueen' MX-5 giving attendees the chance to get behind the wheel and experience something different.
Most importantly, it was an opportunity to bring our community together, catch up with familiar faces, welcome new ones and build excitement ahead of a very special weekend at Anglesey.
A huge thank you to our launch sponsors Sesanti and Race of Remembrance partners Wera Tools, Davanti Tyres, Gama Aviation, Edgar Brothers and BRSCC, whose support helped make the day possible. Thank you also to the volunteers, our event partners and everyone who gave their time to make it such a success.

An Evening with Mike Wilds – Bicester Motion
A big thank you to Mike Wilds for joining us at the Hagerty Clubhouse at Bicester Motion for a special evening of motorsport stories and conversation.
With a career spanning more than 50 years, Mike shared fascinating stories from his time in Formula 1, the challenges of Le Mans and plenty of experiences from a lifetime in motorsport.
It was a great opportunity to bring our community together, hear from someone with such an incredible career and enjoy an evening away from the track.
Thank you to Mike, Hagerty and everyone who came along and supported the evening.
