More than 5,000 people made the annual trip to the place where British motorsport and aviation began, bringing 1,240 classic vehicles with them.
The attendance at this year's New Year's Day classic vehicle gathering beat records for the second year running.
Museum director Allan Winn said: "January 1 is the one day of the year when anything goes at Brooklands, well, as much as we can fit in anyway.
"We were delighted to see so many classic vehicles and their owners coming out and putting down their markers for another year of motoring, and so many members of the public coming to enjoy this massive turn-out of motoring history in all its forms."
The range of vehicles at the event went from a Vespa scooter to a giant Scammell wrecker, from pre-war racers to 80s rally cars.
Morris Minors, Ford Anglias, VW Beetles and Rolls Royces all mingled together by the museum shop.
At lunchtime a delegation of Eight Squadron from RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire performed a ceremony to mark the centenary of their formation as part of the Royal Flying Corps at Brooklands on January 1, 1915.
