Was going but, it seems the organisers don't have any display area for Ferraris and no Hospitality areas.

I wouldn't trust that too much. Last year they were promising 1000 cars, all of the dealerships, special supercar spots and tonnes more, but there were probably about 150-200 cars that turned up (admittedly, a lot of Astons!), hardly any of the dealerships (Mercedes were there, and Bentley, Aston and Ferrari brought down a couple of cars each) and there wasn't that much else. Was a big disappointment after all of the hype. I think it was their first year so they probably weren't certain on what to expect.

There were 19 dealerships displaying over 40 of the latest models including Mercedes, Ferrari, Maserati, Bentley, BMW, Aston Martin Jaguar, Porsche, Ford, Volvo, Subaru, Renault,Isuzu & Toniq plus motorcycles and auto-related products. Over 600 classics were booked and displayed over the weekend and attractions included the Abarth stunt plane on both days and helicopter pleasure flights. The track motorsport competition ran throughout both days and included cars ranging from the Metro 6R4 to to a 1929 Alvis.

I think I must have gone on a dodgy day before?! Didn't see the 6R4 or anything like that really! Might be worth going then this year on a better day?

Pleased to say they now have a Super Car Display area.
Should be a fantastic weekend looking at what is now being arranged.

Is this for exhibitors or for visitors?
