The guest list represents a landmark line-up for motoring enthusiasts. The following names are confirmed to appear live on the Legends Stage:

- Tiff Needell: Renowned racing driver and iconic television broadcaster.Nick Mason: Pink Floyd drummer, world-famous car collector, and five-time Le Mans competitor.
- Ross Brawn OBE & Frank Stephenson: The visionary minds behind dominant Formula 1 championships and iconic modern supercars.
From live panel talks and narrated displays to a massive Sunday Supercar drive-in featuring 100 high-performance vehicles, the event promises an unforgettable weekend.
Key highlights of the event include:
- Sir Jackie Stewart’s Race Against Dementia Charity Helmet: This piece of motorsport history represents the three-time F1 World Champion’s tireless fight to fund breakthrough dementia research.
- The Literary Stage: Hosting a dedicated feature talk titled Stirling Moss: My Racing Life. This will sit alongside a reunion of classic Ferraris driven by British icons Moss, Mike Hawthorn, and John Surtees.
