Cholmondeley Pageant of Power 13-15 June

[snapper8v]

This year's CPOP www.cpop.co.uk kicks off on Friday evening with Status Quo and has a mouthwatering array of vehicles, leaning towards Italian thoroughbreds as Italian marques are this year's theme, including a special, pre event within Liverpool the day before. A quote from todays press release:-

"The high-octane action that characterises the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power will kick off a day early this year as the festival celebrates the start of another very important sporting event.
England’s footballers will take on Italy in their first match of the FIFA World Cup during the Pageant weekend and to mark the occasion, the best cars and bikes from this year’s line-up will stage their very own competition at Wirral on Thursday 12th June.

Two star XIs from the best of English and Italian motoring will go head-to-head in a noise-off, showcasing the best of Cholmondeley’s motoring heritage. It’s going to be big, noisy and full of instantly recognisable unique vehicles, all due to be on show at this year’s Cholmondeley Pageant of Power. More details will follow in the coming weeks.

James Hall, event director, said:

“The country will be at fever pitch during the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power weekend as England start their World Cup campaign against Italy on Saturday 14th June. Both countries have top class motoring pedigrees and and our Italian theme at this year’s Pageant lends itself perfectly to showing off the best of noise and speed from both. Liverpool City Region is going to see some serious noise on the 12th June!”

The convoy of cars will then decamp to the nearby Wirral West Float in a showcase event for the general public, as part of the £4.5bn Peel Holdings Wirral Waters regeneration project which will transform the docklands area into an exciting new automotive industry hub.

I'm on the caterham owners stand on sunday

[droopsnoot]

I'm on the Droopsnoot Group stand all weekend. Wasn't sure about Friday as I'm not planning on staying for Status Quo but had to pay anyway, but even with that it's still a bargain weekend. Besides, I'm only about 10 miles away, so rude not to.

[Mr Adds]

I am coming on Saturday from Newcastle, really looking forward to it- weather forecast looks good.. for now anyway.

Might come over Sunday with the kids

Do you need to buy tickets or can you pay when you arrive???

[droopsnoot]

You can buy tickets on the gate.

It's been pretty good today, nice weather but a little quiet, though that's to be expected on the preview day. No timed runs, but some nice stuff on the track nevertheless.

Fab day today - some seriously loud machinery there! And some very beautiful. And the sun too, couldn't ask for more.

Followed a PHer out who was in an E36 BMW with crossed pistons on the rear bumper

Cracking weather, great cars, really well organised. A good day!

Are the “pits” open to all to walk around the cars like in previous years? I’ve got a growing last minute urge to go tomorrow...

[pauloroberto]

Yes. The pits are open. I had to drag my 4 year old son away from them long after the cars had been put to bed. It was a great day. Packed for rain but came back sunburnt!

[thepickle]

Thanks.

I guess you were on your way when I waved you pass, was towing my race car back from Oulton. Love the sound of your Integrale - nice 'bang' as you passed.
