CarFest South - August 25-26

[sorepaws]

I have been contacted by the organisers to see if we are interested in having 7 cars at the Event being held at Laverstoke Farm Hampshire - Only 7 cars ! the catch is that they would ask us for £400 total for 14 weekend tickets (that is £29 per person! - normal tickets were £75) to cover their organisation.

I am interested in going to this event but are there 6 others out there who will join me ? Might mean camping as well over night as they want the cars left in situ.

Why 7 cars ? well this is a Chris Evans thing "The Magnificent Seven"

PLEASE let me know as soon as possible if this is of interest I will try and get everything sorted by the End of this week - If you go to the event website and try and register a club or individual - you can't it is now closed so we havea real opportunity.

PS to everyone else, this event is on at Jody Sheckters organic farm, and sold out in about 2 hours....



Put me down as first reserve!!!!

[NSXGB]

Stick me down, I'm pretty sure I can make it.

Has camping been allocated for us as the site indicates that it has sold out.

[WhyOne?]

Anyone know who's NSX is running up the hill?

Should be able to make this if we can get 7 of us, looks a good weekend.

I'd initial guess was either the Fenns are out to raise profile or it will the HUK Imola .... but maybe it could be Phil in the NA2 - R?

I'll let you know as I'm there on the Sunday ...

[sorepaws]

The time has come to draw a line under this event opportunity - as I can't get 7 cars to the event and I am not willing to commit £400 of my own money just in case.

Should we put this on the calender for 2013 ? Both North and South ?

Regards

Mike

Hi Sorepaws, I did not respond to your thread before as I was on holiday in South of France over this weekend and was unable to make it.....until I realised we came back on the 8th instead of the 9th as I thought. Back home on Staurday at 3.00pm and on e-bay for tickets. managed to find 2 spare tickets and great ...was able to get there. Great day , nice weather, well laid out, and highly recommended . Chris Evans was out and about the event most of the day and nearly ran me over in his golf buggy. Would attend next year . With regard to leaving cars on stands . I am sure you would be able to leave after 6.00 pm Saturday and go back early on Sunday if you did not want to camp. I spoke to a couple of car stands and they had done exactly that.

gearbox is in, put me down as a yes!

[sorepaws]

Kingsley - any pictures so we can stir the desire for next year ?

[kingsley]

Hi Sorepaws,

The ones I took do not really show the extent of the event ....just supercars on the track or on stands. I will speak to friend Roy tomorrow and check if he has any. Regarding next year ( Lets hope its on ) I am sure I can get 3 or 4 cars. Just need to find the dates out . Cholmondeley Pagant of Power is excellent as well . Same venue.

just to clear things a little....it's the same venue for 'carfest north' (sept 8th/9th) , not the Laverstock farm venue used for 'carfest south' (aug 25/26) ......

[kingsley]

Yes...Carfest North was on 8th and 9th September at Cholmondeley Castle.......Cheshire. The Pagant of Power is also at Cholmondeley .
