Generations Track Day 2026
Our Sixth and Biggest Generations Track Day ever.
Pre-Event Dinner
Last week we hosted our 2026 Generations Event which was our largest and most successful to date.
On Wednesday, we kicked off the excitement with our relaxed and social pre-track day welcome dinner at The Works, allowing our guests an opportunity to engage with like-minded people ahead of track day. Surrounded by restoration projects, inhouse manufactured parts and an impressive line up of W.Os in the showroom, the dinner was the perfect start to our sixth Generations Track Day.
Morning Session
On Thursday, our Next Generation Track Day officially began with a warm welcome at Goodwood, setting the stage for an exciting and memorable experience. Our guests were first introduced to a comprehensive theory lesson from our founder, William Medcalf, whose life-long passion engaged an impressive 85 guests. With over two decades of racing and rallying, including victories across 18 countries, William’s knowledge captivated our young drivers. As the leading specialists in vintage Bentleys, we’re proud to not only celebrate the heritage, but also empower the next generation of drivers.
The morning session took the new drivers straight onto the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit where they were taught by our qualified seasoned instructors.
The concept behind the day is both to inspire and engage the next generation into vintage Bentleys. Our carefully curated tuition program teaches a certified level of driving enabling them to get behind the wheel of a vintage Bentley in a safe an enjoyable manner. This allows the family car to be passed onto the next generation and provides young people the opportunity to drive something of significant British heritage.
Hospitality
At the end of the morning session, our impressive lineup of W.O. Bentleys paraded the track, showcasing their beauty and exceptional engineering. 30 original W.Os parading the track in the glorious sunshine was certainly quite a moment. This was followed by a well-deserved break for lunch, where our guests relaxed and enjoyed hospitality while reflecting on the excitement of the morning.
Afternoon Session
This year, our afternoon session was a dedicated track afternoon, where full track day rules apply. Providing both owners and qualified young drivers the opportunity to accelerate on track, implementing their skills and pushing their vintage Bentley's performance on the historic circuit.
With 30 original W.O. Bentleys, more than 40 young drivers and 85 guests in total, the day was a great success, filled with learning, camaraderie, passion and thrilling motorsport action.
