Following the success of the Brooklands Double Twelve Motorsport Festival in 2011, which saw almost 5,000 people attend over the two day event, the Double Twelve will return in 2012 on the 16th - 17th June.  Once again expected to be the biggest motoring competition held at Brooklands since 1939, it is being organised in association with the Vintage Sports-Car Club.

The Double Twelve Driving Concours will involve 144 classic and vintage cars taking part in driving tests and a Concours d’Elegance over the two days, and up to 100 pre-war cars will take part in the Double Twelve Speed Trials, a sprint on the adjoining Mercedes-Benz World circuit on the Saturday. On Sunday, The Test Hill Challenge will take place in the early afternoon - expect everything from Sinclair C5s, bicycles and motorcycles to giant pre-war racing cars to tackle the steep Test Hill, with running races up the 352ft (107m) concrete slope for children. Some vehicles may even head down the Hill in a test of their brakes. With family entertainment as well, this is a weekend for everyone!

Details of classes for the Double Twelve Driving Concours and the Double Twelve Speed Trials have been released and entries are open. This year there are special classes in the Driving Concours celebrating 50 glorious years of the MGB and 80 years of the Coupe des Dames - a class confined to lady drivers using sports and rally cars.  Further interest will come from a class pitting evergreen VW Beetles against Citroen 2CVs.  The established historic Brooklands classes will this year commemorate the 105th anniversary of the opening of the Brooklands race track on 17th June 1907 and we hope that these classes will feature Austin Sevens, a marque which itself celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2012.
