The Royal Automobile Club today announces it will host its summer Concours at the Woodcote Park clubhouse on Wednesday, 8 July 2026, following the success of this year’s debut.
The inaugural event established a permanent place in the ‘Summer Motor Week’ schedule for Club members, their guests, international collectors and car lovers. Falling in the middle of the week between the British Grand Prix and the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Concours will be at the centre of an outstanding celebration of motoring in the UK.
The unique Woodcote Park estate made a superb backdrop for the first Concours, which featured some 200 jewels of automotive excellence across three centuries on the fabulous greens and fairways. 2026 will bring all-new concours categories and special displays to celebrate design, sport, key anniversaries and icons.
The Club is delighted to announce that the Concours will host the RM Sotheby’s Summer Sale, which will boast a wide selection of exceptional cars. RM Sotheby’s is the leading auction house for fine collectors’ cars and is, of course, a key partner of the Royal Automobile Club and the title sponsor of the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, hosting its annual London Sale during the Club’s Motoring Week.
Club Chairman Duncan Wiltshire said: “After being many years in planning, our first Concours exceeded all expectations, and was widely acclaimed for its glamorous informality. Plus, of course, some truly sensational cars.
“We are committed to making our 2026 Concours even better, with the help of our members and some of the world’s finest car collectors, and we are delighted to be partnering with RM Sotheby’s to help them conduct what promises to be an exceptional auction during the Concours.”
Rob Myers, Chief Executive Officer at RM Sotheby’s, added: “The Royal Automobile Club Concours was a great success, with a scale and atmosphere quite different to anything else. Our partnership with the Club is of huge importance to us within the UK market, and I am personally delighted that we will be partnering to deliver an exceptional summer auction to complement the London Sale.”
