Masters of Motoring announces a groundbreaking collaboration with Bear Industries for its third annual event, commissioning a series of bespoke awards crafted from repurposed turbos. The two-day automotive celebration, scheduled for June 7th & 8th 2025, spans Castle Combe Circuit and Bowood House, featuring an unprecedented display of automotive excellence across twelve distinct categories.
Bear Industries, renowned for transforming automotive components into functional art pieces, will create unique trophy-lamps that celebrate the event’s commitment to automotive heritage. “These awards represent our vision of celebrating automotive excellence beyond traditional boundaries,” states Steve Bishop, founder and director of Masters of Motoring. “Each piece will serve as both a testament to achievement and a functional art piece for winners’ homes or offices.”
The event commences on Saturday, June 7, at Castle Combe Circuit with live track demonstrations featuring an exceptional lineup of vehicles, including the McLaren M6, McLaren M1A, and a historic 1923 Indy Car. VIP guests will enjoy exclusive hospitality from the circuit tower, while spectators can experience hot laps with Henry Howarth in his JCW Mini.
Sunday’s proceedings transition to Bowood House’s elegant grounds, hosting the Concours d’Elegance alongside the Wiltshire Classic & Performance Motor Show. The display encompasses pre-war classics, modern supercars, ex-F1 cars, and contributions from notable participants including We Racing team and Maurice Henry, the 19-year-old Toyota Gazoo Racing driver in British GT.
Award categories span across vintage to modern classifications, including decade-specific recognitions from the 1960s onward, Masters of Speed Paddock, Modified/Custom category, and Special Award classifications. The presentation ceremony will take place Sunday afternoon within Bowood House’s garden party atmosphere.
Bear Industries’ Mark will showcase additional automotive-inspired artwork throughout the event, reinforcing the show’s commitment to celebrating automotive culture through innovative artistic expression. The exhibition includes rare collectors’ cars from Avit Motorsport, Adam Sykes & Co, and Klasiko.
VIP hospitality packages offer distinctive experiences across both venues, featuring tower access at Castle Combe Circuit on Saturday and an exclusive stretch tent arrangement at Bowood House on Sunday, complete with breakfast service and afternoon tea on fine china.
Entries are now open for car clubs, individual collectors, and enthusiasts via mastersofmotoring.com. The event encourages participation from all sectors of the automotive community, emphasizing passion and unique vehicle stories over traditional concours conventions.
