Race for
Remembrance 2026

Against the stunning backdrop of the Snowdonia mountain range, Anglesey Circuit (Trac Môn) hosted this year’s Race for Remembrance, a unique motorsport event that combines endurance racing with an opportunity to honour those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

Ross, CEO of the Central Fund, and Emma, Head of Commercial, attended the event, joining competitors, teams and supporters from across the Armed Forces community.

The unique 12-hour endurance race, which paused for a special pit lane service of remembrance on Sunday 8 November, attracted more than 50 teams and 150 drivers.

During this poignant moment of reflection, the roar of the engines fell silent as participants and spectators paused to pay tribute to the fallen.

Ross and Emma joined the service, taking time to honour those who gave their lives in service and recognise the sacrifices made by serving personnel, veterans and their families.

Perhaps the significance of the occasion was best expressed by motoring journalist Andrew Frankel, whose words capture the true spirit of the event – a reminder that, while competition on the track may provide the spectacle, it is ultimately the purpose behind it that matters most.

“As I was sliding around, getting in everyone’s way, it occurred to me that, although I’ve been racing for a quarter of a century, the Race of Remembrance is the only actually important race I have ever done or will ever do.”

— Andrew Frankel, Motoring Journalist

A particular highlight of the weekend was the participation of RAF Motorsports, who took to the circuit in an MX-5. Demonstrating the strength and camaraderie of the RAF Motorsports Association, personnel travelled from across the country to support the team, helping prepare the vehicle and get it race-ready for the 12-hour endurance challenge.

Their collective efforts were rewarded with an impressive second-place finish in class, a fantastic achievement and a testament not only to the drivers’ skill, but also to the dedication of everyone who contributed their time and support behind the scenes to make the race possible.
