Hi,

Usual gathering of sports and interesting cars at Newby Hall on the 8th May.
We have nearly 300 cars with just over a week to go (last year 300 registered in the last week!).

We have 563 at Newby in 2015, including a large pistonheads group.

Full details at www.sportscarsinthepark.co.uk make sure you select pistonheads from the club list smile

Thanks for the reminder. I've not been to this before, what would you say are the highlights for attending?

Who else is attending from the region?

It's a great day and Chris has it absolutely sorted, I think that others, like Malton, could learn from him.

Sadly, we've got friends over next weekend so I can't attend.

I'm going. Been to quite a few citp, great venue for a picnic if the weather is good, nice gardens to look around for the other half, and interesting tyres to kick for me.
A good day out all in all.

One of those 3 people is myself in my Z4 Coupe. I have been the last 2 years and there is always a good turn out. Hopefully get chance to have a chat to some fellow PH members and enjoy a bit of sunshine.

600 + superb cars
warm weather
some good friends
ice cream van
what could be better

Shame they'd closed the A1 and we had to come through Northallerton which meant a 35min journey took 2 hours as we were late getting there and had to queue with the paying customers to get in.

They really need to sort out the entry thing with people paying cash and searching for change etc.

Came back via Ripon, Masham, Leyburn & Richmond, scenic but busy
oh and wish motorcyclists would realise that when leaning right over with their wheels on the centreline of the road, on a right hand bend, their heads are just about in line with my windscreen.

We haven't been for 3 years but what a great turnout.

500 very mixed motors, beautiful gardens, plant sale, good food in the railway restaurant, blazing sun.

Even Mrs K loved it.

Obviously grown in popularity, we queued for 45 mins to get in but worth it & they kept the queue moving very well.

As good as always and more McClarens than babyandco.

Arrived at 10.15 and queued from the main gates. To parking up took 25 minutes!

Very nice day out, more so than last Septembers - seemed to be much more variety and with the blazing sun it was perfect!
Such a good morning/early afternoon out.

Just doing my day job so pics are uploaded to the server but yet to be added to the gallery.....

Newby are bumping our event to full site now, so we get our own entrance. The public will have to park outside the fence giving us a lot more room. Looking at ways of speeding up entry so engines dont get too hot.

Glad everyone enjoyed it.
