The Donington Classic Festival hosts the third round of the 2018 FIM Europe Vintage Road Race Championships. There are five Vintage classes for <1973 solo machines and two Forgotten Era classes for <1982 machines that will run concurrently with the CRMC races.
The Post Classic Championship brings together an eclectic mix of bikes ranging from the 350cc TZ Yamaha to the 1260cc P&M Kawasakis and XR69 Suzukis. The winner of the ACU Post Classic race will receive the prestigious Wheatcroft Trophy, a name that will always be associated with Donington Park.
Apart from the ACU events, all races will count towards the 2018 CRMC Championships. In many of the classes it is close at the top of the leader board, but with ten rounds to go there is still all to play for.
