The World’s Biggest Events

The events worth building a year around

Reference pages for 8 of the world’s biggest events in Formula 1, fashion, art and yachting. Each one names the real organiser, sources every figure, answers the questions the organiser will not, and says when it was last checked. Grand Circle runs none of these.

Entries are ordered by date, and those whose organisers have not yet announced a next edition sit at the end rather than being dropped, because knowing an event has no published date is itself useful. Dates and prices are set by the organisers and change without notice, so each entry carries the date it was last checked. Last updated 2026-09-10. If something here is wrong, tell us.
