Motorsport Spectacular Comes to Whitby

Sunday, 25 September 2022 09:00

Whitby will see an influx of Supercars next Saturday

Supercar enthusiasts will get to see some of the most impressive collections of supercars in one place as they roll into the Langborne Road area of Whitby for the town’s inaugural Supercar Saturday event.

People will be able to get up close and personal with a range of prestige, classic, retro, sports and supercars in a static vehicle display or more than 100 cars, spread across the Co-op supermarket, railway station and Endeavour Wharf car parks.

There will also be a supercar parade, in association with SC:UK (Sports & Supercar Owners Club) of more than 45 vehicles from the likes of McLaren, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Porsche. One of the headlining cars will be the rare Corvette C8.

The parade, between 12pm and 1pm, will complete several laps of Langborne Road next to the harbour and spectators will see and hear the supercars in action. Dream passenger rides will also be on offer during this time.

The event will help to raise funds for special needs charity, JPC Community Farm. The farm is a centre of excellence for adults with special and complex needs.

JPC Specialist Motorsports is owned by the charity and all profits generated from its events and other activities are donated to the charity to support its work for those with special and complex needs, including learning, physical and sensory disabilities.

Earlier this week the company marked the countdown to Supercar Saturday with a tree planting ceremony in Whitby to help offset some of the carbon footprint of its operations. A six year old oak tree it donated was planted behind the Green Lane Centre by Mayor of Whitby, Councillor Linda Wild, and dedicated to the team of volunteers at Whitby RNLI.

JPC Specialist Motorsports say they would like to thank all the organisations that have supported them with the tree planting and organisation of Supercar Saturday, including RNLI, Whitby Naturalists Society, Scarborough Borough Council, Whitby Town Council, Co-op supermarket and Northern Rail.

People visiting Whitby for the event on 1 October are encouraged to use public transport, the park and ride service or car parks away from the Langborne Road area.
