Mission Motorsport - Forces Families Day in Darlington, Tue 20 Aug

 

EVENT: Forces Families Day
DATE: 20th August 2024
LOCATION: Croft Circuit, Dalton on Tees, Darlington, DL2 2PL

Mission Motorsport, The Forces' Motorsport Charity, is thrilled to be heading back to Croft Circuit, the home of motorsport in the north, for the annual Forces Family Day. In true Mission Motorsport style, you can enjoy thrilling, heart-racing passenger rides* around 2.1 miles of amazing track in a variety of cars ranging from Fiat Pandas to McLarens and everything in between!

For the younger petrol heads in your family, we'll be bringing Lightening McQueen, the split control and even a dual-control MX-5 meaning those as young as 10 years old can get behind the wheel.

*For those aged 18 and above

For younger family members and those who'd prefer not to go out on track, we've got that covered too! The popular and ever-growing "families village" will be back and we're thrilled to be joined by other charitable organisations, local reserve units, local veteran-owned businesses, static car displays and other stall holders. There'll be plenty of fun to be had with a range of activities suitable for all ages.
