23rd Historic Leyburn Sprints

The Historic Leyburn Sprints will once again return to the streets of Leyburn for the 23rd running! Watch around 200 cars will race around the idyllic country town of Leyburn, vying for trophies over 20 classes, as well as outright placings. Get amongst the drivers and their cars, ranging from the 1920's through to modern classics.

Food and drinks are available during the event, this includes food prepared by local community organisations and counter meals are available from the Leyburn Hotel. A fully licensed bar is also located in the event area near the track for easy viewing of the race and 2 coffee vendors are located on site as are a few other comercial vendors with specialty products.
