The Festival in Dorking had notable guests including Walker's son Robbie, Jack Brabham's son David, and Formula E driver, Sam Bird. There was an estimated parade value of £22 million, with over 100 volunteer marshals attending. There was a vast range of racing history, from the 1936 Delahaye 135S Course to the 1973 Surtees TS14B! The team's iconic livery, dark blue with a white band around the nose was in recognition of Walker's Scottish heritage. Also present were two Ferrari 250SWBs, that were raced by the late Sir Stirling Moss in the "Goodwood Tourist Trophy" in 1960 and 1961. 
Other Walker cars that took part at Dorking were the Team's Mini-van, the 1958 F1 Cooper T45 Climax, and the T43 Climax - the T43 was the first rear-engined, post-war car to win a F1 Championship Grand Prix, in Argentina, 1958. This was their first of 9 F1 Grand Prix wins - 3 of these in Monaco, in 1958, 1960, and 1961. Also seen above is the Ferguson Formula One P99 Climax 4WD which Freddie Rolt drove; his Grandfather, Tony Rolt, drove for the Team from 1949-54. At Brooklands, Richard Parnell drove the F1 Walker-Climax.
