The countdown is officially on, the return for another action-packed celebration of motorsport and community spirit. We at Rubis are proud to once again be the title sponsor of one of the largest and most anticipated events in the Channel Islands calendar.
Running from Wednesday 3 June 2026, this year’s festival promises an unforgettable mix of iconic vehicles, thrilling demonstrations, family entertainment and exciting new sustainable initiatives designed to help drive the event towards a greener future.
The festival gets underway in spectacular fashion with a new addition of a vehicle parade through the streets of St Helier. Beginning at approximately 12:30pm, an incredible selection of classic cars, motorcycles, race machines and modern performance vehicles will make their way through town before remaining on display in the Royal Square throughout the afternoon.
From historic motoring legends to cutting-edge supercars, the parade brings the festival atmosphere directly into the heart of the island, giving visitors and locals alike the opportunity to get up close to some truly remarkable vehicles.
The excitement continues the following day as the rolling roadshow and motorsport demonstrations take over Victoria Avenue, setting the tone for an adrenaline-fuelled weekend of competition and entertainment.
Friday evening’s much-anticipated Moonlight Sprint is once again expected to attract huge crowds, with roaring engines, high-speed action and fierce competition lighting up Victoria Avenue after dark. Over the weekend, attention then turns to the legendary Westmount Hillclimb and the Active Arena, where spectators can experience precision driving, dynamic displays and a showcase of exceptional vehicles from across the motoring world.

Beyond the motorsport action, the festival offers something for everyone. Visitors can enjoy vintage and racing car exhibitions, live music, local food vendors, family attractions and interactive displays, making the event a true celebration of automotive culture and island community spirit.
As part of Rubis’ continued commitment to innovation and sustainability, renewable fuels will once again play a major role at this year’s event. Following its successful launch at JIMF 2025, Renewable Petrol will be available throughout the festival via Rubis’ First Tower forecourt, the first publicly accessible renewable petrol installation in the British Isles, and one of the first in the world, delivered through a conventional underground storage tank system and standard forecourt nozzle.
The introduction of Renewable Petrol last year received extremely positive feedback from motorists and competitors alike, demonstrating growing interest in lower-carbon fuel alternatives without compromising vehicle performance or heritage.
In addition, all generators used throughout JIMF 2026 will operate on Renewable Diesel, helping to significantly reduce the event’s environmental impact and support the festival’s ambition of becoming cleaner and greener for the future.
Nick Crolla, Head of Marketing at Rubis Channel Islands, said:
“We are proud to once again be title sponsors of the Jersey International Motoring Festival. It is a fantastic event that brings the community together and its values strongly align with Rubis as a brand.
Working alongside the organisers, we have been able to provide key solutions to help make the event cleaner and greener using renewable fuels. We would like to wish all competitors the very best of luck and hope the public thoroughly enjoy this year’s festival.”
Alex Salmon, Organiser of JIMF 2026, added:
“We are delighted to bring the Jersey International Motoring Festival back for another year and are looking forward to making this year even bigger and better.
We are extremely thankful to Rubis Channel Islands for once again being title sponsor. It has been a very successful partnership, and with their support, we are able to continue making the event greener using renewable diesel generators and renewable petrol for competitors.”
