Former Top Gear presenter and motoring journalist, Chris Harris, has been announced as the guest speaker for the Supercar Sunday event at Grantley Hall on Sunday 6th July 2025. This follows the news of The Hoosiers as the headline act for this year’s prestigious automobile event.
The exhilarating event, held in partnership with the UK’s premier supercar community, Supercar Driver, promises a high-energy day filled with thrilling motoring and motorsport excitement.
Chris co-hosted Top Gear from 2016 to 2022 alongside Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness. Chris is the go-to for brutally honest, no-holds-barred automotive journalism and he has extensive experience (and talent) in endurance racing, a career which began with winning his first race in a Formula Palmer Audi in 2000 and competing in endurance races such as 24 Hours Nürburgring in 2010 and 2015.
In 2023, Chris released his much-anticipated book Variable Valve Timings and it was announced in 2024 that Chris and Paddy McGuinness will front a brand-new three-part road trip series that sees the duo head to Europe, to look at how our European neighbours grow old gracefully and make their years ahead their best yet which is coming soon to BBC.
Headlining the musical line-up, Indie-Pop icons The Hoosiers will be performing an outdoor set at the luxury five-star hotel in North Yorkshire. The band achieved rapid success hitting No.1 in the UK album charts and generating countless singles including the Top 5 hits “Worried About Ray” and “Goodbye Mr A”. Since then, they have embarked on multiple sold-out tours, as well as gracing stages at the likes of Glastonbury, Isle of Wight Festival and BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend.
Supercar Driver’s Supercar Sunday, held annually at Grantley Hall since 2022, is set to be an unmissable day out for car enthusiasts and collectors, complemented by an exclusive live cinema screening of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix action from Silverstone, an engaging discussion with guest speaker Chris Harris as he shares insights into his thrilling career and all things automotive, a barbecue lunch, and a programme of entertainment with The Hoosiers as the pinnacle.
Adam Thorby, Founder of Supercar Driver “Supercar Sunday is a stand-out event in the Supercar calendar, evolving from a simple yet elegant gathering into an extraordinary garden party that’s a firm favourite with our members. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Grantley Hall once again this year to showcase an incredible collection of supercars and hypercars, curated for true enthusiasts to enjoy with the very best entertainment and hospitality”.
A limited number of VIP tickets also include exclusive access to a VIP area, Champagne reception and sit-down three-course lunch.
Paul Boulton, Lifestyle Manager at Grantley Hall, said: “Last year’s event saw more than 1,000 guests descend on the lawns of Grantley Hall for the supercar spectacle, to enjoy a showcase of the finest Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys and more.
“While that’s hard to beat, this year is set to be the best yet and will be complemented perfectly with entertainment from The Hoosiers, who have maintained their appeal across generations with some classic hits that will be sure to have the crowds singing along.”
