2011 – 2013
In its earliest forms, the event was all about 'a celebration of motoring' and the simple desire to start the supercar season in style and create hype for the year ahead with a 'Secret Meet'. Our ambition was to raise the bar each year, bringing owners together and encouraging them to use and share their special cars. The event has evolved from humble beginnings, but right from the very first event, the following was there and the level of cars that joined us set the standard right through to the present day. Our first event in 2011 started at Donington Park as a meeting place and we waited patiently till 2019 to make our return!
2014 – 2018
Our ambitions, as well as the following had grown significantly for the Secret Meet so we required a bigger venue. We moved to Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground where we would carry out exceptional gatherings, parades and group photoshoots on the runway whilst raising money for Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice. These gatherings became world renowned with images from the events being shared across social media platforms from Australia to the Middle East!
2019 – 2022
In 2019 we went full circle back to Donington Park where we had aspirations from the start to host a big event. We'd been wrestling against our ambitions to take this event to the next level whilst balancing against being patient and letting it grow organically, year on year. From the first track event in 2019 we knew we'd found our niche, with a unique mix of rare, exotic and iconic road cars and loud and legendary race cars all together in a private intimate setting and the freedom to make our dreams reality!
2023 and beyond
We have big ambitions and a '5 year plan' to expand the SCD Secret Meet across select circuits in Europe and further afield! But for 2023, the event forms a key part of the first UK car week and is spread across two days with new features including the first track shootout!
