The Pre-’90s Car Park has had an update, and is now home to any prefix plate. The change coincides with a quarter of a century since the rules changed in 2001, when the modern format was adopted. It also ensures even more modern classics are accounted for, and means the likes of the Honda NSX, Lamborghini Diablo and Rover 400 of 1990 can now be waved into the forward classic parking. When you arrive, if there's capacity, you may be directed to our forward parking for classic cars. A display in itself, make sure you take a look!
This space is reserved for those who have taken the brave pill and reached for the keys to their supercar or performance that morning. Arrive in yours and you could get waved into to the Paddock.

Bicester Motion, Buckingham Rd, Bicester, Oxfordshire, OX27 8AL.

Gates 3 and 8. As you near Bicester Motion, follow the ‘P’ symbol on the yellow event signage to the gates on Buckingham Road and Skimmingdish Lane. Please do not follow your satellite navigation system.

Please respect our neighbours!
We're lucky to have a prime position on the northern edge of Bicester, but this also means we're not the only ones on the roads. Please drive carefully, calmly and quietly; we ask you not to use the roads around us as a makeshift racing track.
