🚨British Pedal Car Grand Prix 2026 Postponed, Set to Return in 2027 🚨

It’s with great sadness that Ringwood & District Round Table has to announce that the 2026 British Pedal Car Grand Prix will not take place, following an unavoidable change to the event’s traditional date.

The much-loved community event, typically held on the second Sunday in July, was this year asked to move to an alternative earlier date to accommodate another local event. While every effort was made to adapt, the revised schedule significantly impacted team availability.

As a result, and due to a lack of entries for the new date, organisers have taken the difficult decision to postpone the 2026 event until next summer.

Craig Adams, Chairman of the Event Team, said:
“This hasn’t been an easy decision. The Pedal Car Grand Prix is a highlight of the year for so many people in our community, but the change of date meant that many of our regular teams were unable to take part. Without the strong turnout the event deserves, we felt it was best to pause for this year.”

Despite the disappointment, Ringwood & District Round Table is already looking ahead with enthusiasm.

Plans are underway to ensure the British Pedal Car Grand Prix returns in 2027 — bigger, better, and stronger than ever — continuing its proud tradition of bringing together teams, families, and spectators for a day of fun, competition, and community spirit.

Craig added:
“We’re incredibly proud of what this event represents, and we can’t wait to bring it back in 2027. If you’ve ever thought about entering a team, sponsoring, or getting involved behind the scenes, now is the perfect time to reach out and be part of something special.”

We’re excited to announce that the 2026 British Pedal Car Grand Prix will take place on the late May Bank Holiday weekend – Sunday 24th May 2026! 🎉

As we keep saying, the British Pedal Car Grand Prix quite simply wouldn’t exist without our amazing sponsors. We don’t receive funding from the local Councils and while our intrepid race teams do pay to enter the event, without local businesses such as these heroes helping us, our team of volunteers wouldn’t be able to bring you an afternoon of thrilling racing.

We are so lucky to have wonderful businesses step forward and support us - We bring you our amazing Core Sponsors!

As the dust settles on yesterdays British Pedal Car Grand Prix, and the organising team gradually regain our faculties after a 14 hour day out in the blistering sun, we thought that you’d all like to know quite how amazingly all of our race teams did!

Not only did they battle their way through 2 hours of 30 degree heat, but they also clocked up some amazing lap totals! A massive well done to each & every team, whether they came first or last!

Congratulations first off to the Inferno Team, made up of Fire Cadets led by members of Ringwood Fire Station as our Top Junior Team, clocking up an impressive 51 laps (that’s the best part of 50km covered!). There was a massive battle for the top 3 spots overall, with Doughty Racing coming in third overall with a fantastic 61 laps! Our runners up this year pushed the eventual winners all the way to the checkered flag - Peletony Racing are our runners up for this year clocking up 63 laps with an overall time of 1.59.51! Pipping them to top spot were only our second ever Duo to win the crown - The Polton Boys from Royce UK Ltd also finished on 63 laps but did it slightly quicker with an overall time of 1.58.36! That averages out at them completing a lap in just 1 minute 52 seconds!
