Jersey International Motoring Festival returns after two years

Hundreds of islanders are expected to attend the Jersey International Motoring Festival over the bank holiday weekend.

The event is taking place from 2 to 5 June, returning after a two-year break caused by coronavirus restrictions in the island.

The first spectators arrived on Thursday (2 June) with classic cars on display in People's Park and along Victoria Avenue in St Helier.

Organiser Robert Surcouf said: "Well we've got an exciting time this evening (3 June) with the sprint on Victoria Avenue. Everyone likes the moonlight sprint, we've got to hope the weather is kind for us.

"It's wonderful, you've got the sun setting, you've got cars and motorbikes trying to get down the quarter-mile as fast as possible, a real variety and with lots of areas for people to enjoy."
