Brooklands Museum Japanese Day, Sunday 7th Sept, 2025

Post by willberry70 »

This is a NEW event for Brookands Museum in 2025
Brooklands.jpg
Brooklands Museum is situated in Weybridge in Surrey, with easy access from the M25, junctions 10 or 11.

Enjoy a day devoted to vehicles from Japan, with a host of entertainment and food.

Expect a feast of chrome and colour with a vast number of gleaming vehicles and much more. Visitors with Japanese vehicles may enter via Campbell Gate on Brooklands Road.

Enjoy a vast display of Honda, Subaru, Mazda, Kawasaki, Nissan, Datsun, Toyota, Lexus and Suzuki!

Admission includes access to Brooklands Museum for the day. Discover supersonic flight with Concorde and get up close to the aircraft designed, built and flown at Brooklands. Explore the historic site brought to life through interactive collections of motor vehicles, aircraft and real-life experiences. Hear the stories of the pioneering men and women that shaped the world of motoring and aviation. Re-live the thrills and glamour of speed and flight, from over 100 years of great British history at Brooklands Museum.

If you have never been to this museum before, then I can highly recommend it. There is plenty to see as this site is rich in history for both cars and aircraft.

This interactive map shows you what you can see at this site:

I've just checked the Brooklands website and this event is, indeed, on the 7 Sept, but it's a Sunday ;)

I have amended the topic title accordingly :thumleft:

Darn, this clashes with Go Japan at Brands Hatch :(

Coincidentally I spoke to the organiser whilst at the NEC Classic Motor Show. Really nice guy who was keen to have us there - he also suggested potential runs on their course as well ;)

Im local so will definitely be up for this.

For those who haven’t been to Brooklands, it is a great relic with some amazing aircraft and historic cars. So just use this opportunity to go there and visit the banking, great for children too.

Went there this year for the first time with friends, really interesting and full of nostalgia. Nice backdrop for a display of RX8s.

I'll take registrations for a club stand based on iterest on this thread. I've not seen any more details though (you might check the link again) but certainly there's bound to be loads of cool cars there :)

Hi. Did you manage to book the stand? I've just looked at the Brooklands website and they've now got a link for clubs to register. It looks like once we've registered we get some kind of code and the admission price is reduced to £20pp. Did you make any progress with this?

Driving into London to Brooklands it's occurred to me that my 2004 RX8 is ULEZ compliant. Wondering if that will deter some drivers of classic Japanese cars coming to the event? The RX8 is fortunate that it squeezes under the 2006 criteria. Hopefully all this will change when London rid themselves of the little cretin Kahn! =D>

ULEZ tends to trap TDCIs, you know, those cars that the government of the day was trying to get us all to buy!

Brooklands isn't in the ULEZ zone having checked the TFL website. Good as I would quite like to go in the RX-7.

Whether Brooklands itself is in the ULEZ zone or not, you will still have to travel through restricted areas to get to Brooklands! As I said, at an additional £12.50 os added to costs of attending.
