Lydden Hill – the Home of Rallycross – will host a new event next summer, the Lydden Legend Festival 2024 which will feature on-track action for machinery from the history of rallycross.
Focused entirely around celebrating the glory of period rallycross and rally machinery, the Lydden Legend Festival will follow in the footsteps of the hugely-successful Loheac Legend Festival held earlier this year in France, that was run in collaboration with the Rallycross Legends Show, headed up by concept creator Philippe Tollemer along with Loheac’s Patrick Germain and his team.
The discipline of rallycross having been created at the Kent circuit in February 1967. A diverse range of classes will be headlined by Group B and 4WD monsters, with star names and international cars already planned to make an appearance, and machinery and drivers from the Retro Rallycross Championship set to be in action
Along with a range of rallycross ‘demonstration races,’ cars from across the history of rallying will also be in action, attacking both the Lydden rallycross circuit and the tarmac layout at intervals, while off track, a fully-accessible paddock will allow fans to get up close and personal with some incredible cars, with other exotic machinery, and car clubs providing displays.
The event will be opened on Friday with a Welcome Gala, while the celebrations of this amazing discipline will continue throughout the weekend.
