The inaugural MATM, being held on Father’s Day - Sunday 16th June - will be a gala of speed, elegance, motoring excellence and performance. This new feast for all the senses at the breath-taking Celtic Manor Resort will see exciting action with a series of competition, road and rally cars tackling the Manor’s twisting and challenging internal road network – including its distinctive landmark bridge over the River Usk – with these magnificent machines being driven to new heights and testing the limits by some leading drivers.
 
Away from the dynamic action of the Celtic Manor track, MATM will also offer visitors the chance to get up close and personal with an extensive displays of static vehicles, plus an extensive array of other attractions and entertainment, including interviews with motor racing and rally personalities, as well as competitions and live music, to create a luxurious and memorable summer garden party atmosphere, surrounded by the beautiful rolling valleys of the Vale of Usk.

Dedicated vehicle displays will include zones to admire jaw-dropping supercars and hypercars, as well as a broad selection of classic cars and car clubs, plus an extensive array of rally cars and circuit competition racers, with demonstration drives available to MATM visitors.
 
A comprehensive range of rally cars will include early-era classics such as Mini Coopers, Ford Escorts and Saab 96s, through to a 1970s Lancia Stratos, Datsun 240Z, Alpine A110 Berlinette and Ford Escort RS1800s, via fearsome 1980s Group B Audi Quattro, Mazda RX-7 and MG Metro 6R4s, and on to exciting modern rally weapons, including Subaru Imprezas, Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X and Ford Fiestas.
 
Various disciplines of tarmac-munching competition cars at MATM will include single-seater racers, plus Formula 1, Touring Cars, Can Am, historic competition cars and mighty Group C endurance racers, including Le Mans legends, the latter to coincide with the fabled race coming to a head during MATM, which will be screened live at the Celtic Manor during the event for spectators to enjoy whilst enjoying an alfresco feast on the tranquil Welsh lawns. 
 
An impressive gathering of supercars and hypercars looks set to include ultimate exotica by Pagani, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maserati, Porsche and others, whilst classic cars will make MATM visitors nostalgic with a rich pallet older Aston Martins, MGs, Fords, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Bentley, Lotus, Triumph and so on.

1973 Porsche 917/30 Sunoco 996
​This historic racing Porsche is on show at the Performance & Tuning Car Show.

Produced specifically for the open-top CanAm championship, only 6 examples of this iconic Porsche racecar were ever built. The championship had almost no engine restrictions, so the 5.4-litre motor in this 1973 917/30 produced a gargantuan 1,100bhp. Unsurprisingly, it dominated the series and took home the top four places.
