Beaulieu Supercar Showdown 25th August
Discussion
PASSES ARIVED TODAY! including confirmation that I'm doing a demo run.
This was one of the best events I went to last year and by far the best organised. To say we were made welcome as exhibited car owners is an understatement. These days far too many shows try to charge you to bring your car when you're the reason the paying public are comming! At Beaulieu you don't just get in free, they rope your car off to keep pushchairs and handbags away and there's a drivers' marquee to chill out in with tea, coffee, cold drinks and even CAKE! If you fancy it I spoke to Andy yesterday and he still has space available for "in theme" cars, just drop him a line and he'll send you passes. He said it was OK to post his email addy on here: andy.ollerenshaw@beaulieu.co.uk
Anyhoo: Who else is going? Any convoys planned?

yep im there with a couple of cars and I must say its very nice to feel wanted at a show instead of having to beg especially as I come from the westcountry and the cost of fuel in these cars to get to the show is quite high so its great that Andy and his team make such an effort see you there guys.
cheers simon

I'll be there again this year for the arena and passes for the 'Demo Run'. The big difference this year is that after some 'Interesting Enhancements' by Bamford Rose my DB9 has gone from 450bhp to 520bhp...and a lot louder...
Passed me on power to weight! 520bhp @1700kg(?) vs mine @ 230bhp @ 800kg rjo64 said:
Disappointed as not invited back again this year. Maybe Noble's not so super any more. Hope the weather holds for the guys going.
Probably an oversight. Andy did say he had spaces and there's no doubt Nobles are Supercars. Drop him a line if you fancy going. I think I booked less than a wweekaway last year Had an Email from Andy think I must have been lost in the post. Working now anyway. Looks like Noble is being represented. Hope every one that goes has a great event Beaulieu is a great place.

I must congratulate Maff for bringing the Speciale AND the LaFerrari in such awful weather. LaFerrari the car of the day for so many there (including me) followed by the blue Aventador & white Huracan.
Me & my two mates all got saturated but we were really enjoying ourselves immensely! Thank god also that they did a demonstration run in the end as it would have been even more disappointing seeing as there was loads & loads of equally brave people there too!
One thing i do fear after being there was that i might have killed one or both of my cameras...
But! The pics came out fine & i'm going to see how much of the video footage i took was any good.
