Oulton Park’s full 2026 calendar has been confirmed, featuring visits from the UK’s premier two and four-wheel championships, themed festivals, club meetings and the circuit’s signature Gold Cup. There will be new events too, with competitive fixtures most weekends between April and early November.
BRITISH RACING STARS
The British Superbike Championship, the nation’s leading motorcycle competition, will make two visits to the Cheshire venue in 2026 for a pair of triple-header events. This includes the traditional season opener on Early May Bank Holiday weekend (2-4 May), while the second visit moves to a height of summer date on 31 July – 2 August.
The pinnacle of domestic car racing returns to the Island circuit when the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship visits on 6/7 June. This popular fixture always draws a huge crowd, with top-class drivers delivering door-to-door thrills.
Additionally, the prestigious British GT Championship (22,23 & 25 May) will deliver a Spring Bank Holiday of supercar action, with a superb grid of GT3 and GT4 racers taking part in two one-hour ‘sprint’ races. The GB4 Championship partnered by the BRDC will feature on the bill too, as stars of the future begin their journey towards Formula 1.
OULTON PARK’S SIGNATURE GOLD CUP
The North West’s premier historic motorsport event switches back to its traditional place on August Bank Holiday weekend this year. The Oulton Park Gold Cup on 29-31 August will feature on-track action from the Historic Sports Car Club, complemented by extensive car displays, themed entertainment, special demonstrations and a major car auction.
HIGH-SPEED FAMILY FUN
Themed festivals will once again form a significant part of this year’s line-up of events, featuring on and off-track attractions for all ages. These kick off with Family Fun Day on Easter Monday (6 April).
The new-for-2026 Touring Car Rewind: North on 16 May brings a flat out celebration of tin tops, featuring on-track action from the Classic Touring Car Racing Club (CTCRC) alongside a nostalgic off-circuit show. Supercar Pageant (20 June) returns for a summer celebration of exotic style, while Tunerfest North on 4 July will be a busy festival of modified car culture.
Other returning highlights include Autos De France (11 July), BMW Live (25 July) and US AutoShow (22 August), which features a day of American-themed track action, demos and displays.
This year will also mark the debut of the all-new Jaguars at Oulton - Cheshire Cats (8 August), celebrating the iconic models from one of Britain’s best-known manufacturers.
Finally, the Salford Van Hire Neil Howard Memorial Stage Rally and Fireworks (7 November) will end the year with a ‘big bang’ as daytime rally competition is followed by a show-stopping fireworks display.
