Some weekends make history. Others bring it back to life. This weekend might be both. This #MotorsportWeekend, Colin McRae’s Subaru Impreza Group A from the Prodrive Heritage Collection heads to the @RoyalAutomobile's St James’s Motoring Spectacle, appearing alongside cars driven by Richard Burns and newly crowned WRC Champion @ElfynEvans. Our 2004 Honda BAR 006 will also be on display. It comes on the eve of the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, bringing more than a century of motoring history to the capital. Meanwhile in Mexico City, Kimi Antonelli could make some history of his own. Ninth or better would make the 20 year old the youngest @F1 World Champion ever. Also racing this weekend: @GTWorldChAsia in Shanghai and @NASCAR at Martinsville.

Talladega exists because Bill France went looking for space. Construction began across 2,000 acres in Alabama in 1968, with Talladega Superspeedway opening the following year. More than 50 years later, NASCAR still races there. #MotorsportWeekend 📸: Talladega Superspeedway

By the time Circuit of The Americas opened in 2012, the circuit had become just one part of the design. Its 420 hectare masterplan brought the track together with a Grand Plaza, grandstand, observation tower and amphitheatre. This weekend, F1 arrives for the United States Grand Prix. #MotorsportWeekend 📸: The Austin Grand Prix LLC | @MercedesAMGF1

More than four decades separate their openings, each reflecting how expectations of what a racing circuit should be have changed. Three very different eras produced three vert different circuits.

Not every lap at a race weekend is done behind the wheel. 🏃 Ahead of the 6 Hours of Barcelona, some of our @prodrive race team swapped their usual pit lane duties for a 5 km lap of the @Circuitcat_eng, joining members of the @FIAWEC paddock and fans for a charity run supporting the Pau Costa Foundation. The run raised funds for projects helping communities in Catalunya improve wildfire prevention, education and the resilience of landscapes affected by fire. To learn more about the projects, follow @PauCostaF Nice work, team. 👏 📸: Javier Jimenez #WorkshopWednesday #PerformanceUnlimited

Success creates its own problems. Endurance racing is thriving, with teams and drivers increasingly competing across championships. But this weekend, @FIAWEC at Barcelona clashes with the @GTWorldChEu finale at Portimão. Drivers Juncadella and Gounon have prioritised WEC, opening the door for @Max33Verstappen's GTWC Europe debut and putting him on the same GT3 grid as motorcycle legend @ValeYellow46. go.prodrive.com/WatchGT #MotorsportWeekend 📸: SRO & @JakobEbrey

Four drivers are attempting to do both. Mattia Drudi, Tom Fleming, Benji Goethe and Darren Leung will compete at Portimão, then face a race of a different kind to reach Barcelona for Sunday’s WEC round. Organisers SRO moved its three hour Portuguese race from Sunday to Saturday evening to help make it possible. go.prodrive.com/FIAWEC #MotorsportWeekend 📸: Javier Jimenez | @nickdunganphoto

A familiar face has rolled back through the doors of Prodrive. This Subaru Impreza WRC'03, campaigned by Tommi Mäkinen & Kaj Lindström, is in with the Prodrive Legends team for inspection, arriving with period documents and plenty of stories to tell. Every Prodrive-built car has a history that starts in Banbury, before they end up around the world. Yet much of the knowledge, designs and expertise behind them is still here. Twenty-three years on, it's good to see this one back where it all began. #WorkshopWednesday #ProdriveLegends #TommiMakinen #HistoricMotorsport #RallyHeritage #MotorsportHeritage #Preservation

When a P25 comes back through the doors at Banbury, it's a chance to recall the highly personal choices owners made when commissioning their cars. Finished in Pearl White, this example stands apart from the image many people carry of an iconic Impreza. And that was the point. Twenty five cars, twenty five owners, and plenty of individual tastes along the way. #PerformanceUnlimited #P25 #WorkshopWednesday

Congratulations to @ElfynEvans and @scottmartinat on becoming FIA World Rally Champions and only the third British crew to win the title. Having seen up close what it requires, we know just how hard it is to reach the top. Winning a World Rally Championship demands speed, consistency and resilience across the entire season. Congratulations also to @OliverSolberg01 and @EAERallying on a fantastic season too. They pushed the championship battle all the way and came agonisingly close. We have no doubt their day will come. 📸: Prodrive | Red Bull Content Pool #FIA #WRC @OfficialWRC

Happy 40th birthday to the BMW M3. Since its 1986 launch, the M3 has earned its place among motorsport's most successful competition cars, winning on rally stages, race circuits, and hillclimbs worldwide. For Prodrive, the BMW M3 played an important role in our story. We developed and ran M3s in rallying, including the car that delivered our first @OfficialWRC victory, and campaigned the model in the @BTCC . The BMW M3 Group A from our Heritage Collection was proud to be part of @BMW UK's anniversary celebration at today's Bicester Scramble. Did you spot us? 📌 @bicestermotion #wearescramblers #BMWUK #BMWM #MPower #40yearsM3 #PerformanceUnlimited #ProdriveLegends

A championship is rarely won in a single race, stage or stint; most of the season is spent building a position. This weekend is about defending it, protecting it, or attacking it. Rally Italia Sardegna hosts the @OfficialWRC title decider, while the IMSA season ends with Petit Le Mans, where races have a habit of being settled in the final hour. 📸: @TGR_WRC | @IMSA

In Barcelona, GT World Challenge Europe crowns its Sprint Cup champions and the GT3 Revival Series closes its 2026 season. In Beijing, GT World Challenge Asia heads into rounds 9 & 10 with just one race weekend left to follow. Months of work can still come down to a late caution, one final stage, or a last push for position. #MotorsportWeekend 📺 Watch: go.prodrive.com/WatchWRC go.prodrive.com/WatchIMSA go.prodrive.com/WatchGT go.prodrive.com/WatchGT3Revi… 📸: @GTWorldChEu | @GTWorldChAsia | GT3 Revival Series
