A groundbreaking partnership between Masters of Motoring and Fantastic Roads will bring an exclusive driving experience to automotive enthusiasts in June 2025. This collaboration emerged from personal experience and shared vision, as Masters of Motoring organisers witnessed firsthand the exceptional quality of Fantastic Roads tours.
A New Dimension to Automotive Excellence
The partnership introduces a carefully curated driving experience through Britain’s most scenic routes, culminating in the prestigious Masters of Motoring weekend. Participants will journey through the picturesque Bath and Wiltshire countryside before arriving at Castle Combe Circuit, where they’ll enjoy exclusive parade laps as part of Masters of Motoring Live event on Saturday 7th June before heading back on the tour for the afternoon.
The experience extends beyond the open road, featuring a luxury stay at the distinguished Homewood Hotel near Bath. Guests can choose between a refined cream tea or traditional afternoon tea, followed by an optional evening gathering with selected guests and partners, creating an atmosphere of automotive camaraderie.
Exclusive Access and VIP Treatment
The tour’s highlight includes special access to Castle Combe Circuit, where participants can experience the thrill of parade laps during the Masters of Motoring Live event. This unique opportunity combines the pleasure of scenic driving with the excitement of track experience, all while maintaining the event’s prestigious character.
Following the circuit experience and overnight stay at the beautiful Homewood Hotel near Bath, guests will enjoy VIP treatment at the Masters of Motoring Concours at Bowood House on Sunday 8th June. This exclusive access includes entry to both the house and its magnificent gardens alongside the show and concours itself which will be on the front lawns of Lord Lansdown’s home, offering a perfect blend of automotive excellence and British heritage.

Breaking Traditional Boundaries
Unlike conventional automotive tours, this experience welcomes all motoring enthusiasts regardless of vehicle category. The focus remains on creating memorable experiences rather than limiting participation to specific car types but is limited in number. This inclusive approach reflects the event’s commitment to celebrating all aspects of motoring heritage, present, and future.
The routes, crafted by Fantastic Roads founder Alan Lewis, draw from extensive global tour planning expertise. This knowledge, combined with the natural beauty of the Bath and Wiltshire region, creates an unparalleled driving experience that perfectly complements the Masters of Motoring weekend.
Future Vision
Looking beyond 2025, organisers are developing plans to expand the Masters of Motoring experiences. While details remain under wrapping for now, the focus continues to be on creating exceptional, memorable experiences for a select group of enthusiasts who share a passion for automotive excellence.
This partnership marks just the beginning of an exciting new chapter in British motoring experiences, promising to deliver unforgettable moments for those fortunate enough to participate in this exclusive adventure.
