Motoring fans will be marking their calendars with some must-see Simply events still to come at Beaulieu this September.
These vibrant rallies offer the chance to admire an impressive line-up of motors, catch up with fellow enthusiasts plus explore the entire Beaulieu attraction.
Petrol-heads have already been able to enjoy a terrific season of Simply events throughout the summer at Beaulieu. A lively Simply VW kicked things off back in May, followed by pristine Porsches and stylish Jaguars in June. Owners of off-road machines were able to get their wheels dirty on Beaulieu’s very own Forest Drive at Simply Land Rover in July before an array of Audis were the star of the show. Then, a jam-packed weekend of Simply events saw Italian and Japanese vehicles on display back-to-back. Finally, in August, another busy weekend was dedicated to Aston Martins followed by Fords, but not before a myriad of Mercedez-Benz lined the grounds.
Coming up this September, and bringing a Gallic flair to the program of events, is Simply French on Sunday 1st September. This event is open to French cars of any make or model, from familiar names such as Peugeot, Citroen or Renault or rarer makes including Facel Vegas, Panhard and Matra. All French car owners are welcome to join this great rally!
Showgoers can then look forward to a beautiful display of ‘Beemers’ on Sunday 22nd September at Simply BMW. This year, an exciting NEW feature, the Simply BMW Sound-off, is set to take place at 2.30pm on the Arena, in which a selection of vehicles will demonstrate the sound of their powerful engines. The participant to evoke the loudest cheer from the crowd will be named the overall winner and will receive a trophy and a prize. Listen out for popular YouTuber Our Tim who will be commentating throughout the day. BMW drivers may even spot their vehicle in the video he produces of the event!
Following closely in its tyre tracks and rounding off a spectacular September of Simply events is Simply British on Sunday 29th September. This rally brings together any vehicle built in Britain or by a British manufacturer, meaning visitors can expect a variety of marvellous motors. Classic Rolls-Royce, Morris Minors and MGBs have been among those to join the remarkable roster of vehicles in previous years, and fit in perfectly against Beaulieu’s idyllic landscape.
