Next weekend this is on.

I'm on the list for the Sunday Service at ASton Martin too but unlikely to get into the 350 so I'm probably going

on Saturday.

Enjoy this show but I last attended in 2008.

I'm taking my Dad on the Saturday. Haven't been for a couple of years, but really enjoyed it last time and the line up for the Rally stage looks great.

Looking forward to it.

For those who haven't been before and want to get an idea of what is at Race Retro, here are a few pictures I took at the 2012 show: https://www.flickr.com/photos/peter8171/sets/72157...

Saturday. First visit travelling up from S.West. Any previous traffic problems or roads to avoid?

Roads around aren't too bad. Motorway and dual carriageway most of the way, then a short bit of single carriageway at the end. Seemed to flow pretty well last time I went.

Getting into the show ground was a joke!
Satnav got me (as in past years) to the main entrance
but that is now only for £10 VIP parking.
They then send you miles around the perimeter of the estate
and funnel everybody in via a rear entrance from one direction which was caused a massive jam
on the Bxxxx.
If you have paid the extra £10 for VIP parking, you don't have a delay getting in
but you only get to park about 200 yards closer to the exhibition hall than the 'public'.

Was at the show today. Really enjoyed it, bumped into a few people I knew and the cars were generally being driven exuberantly.

Took a few pics (OK, a lot!) and here is a link to them. Hope you enjoy them!

Cheers. May have got slightly carried away, but having the cars being driven that way encourages taking the shots!

When the Firenza was running, it was difficult to concentrate due to the incredible noise it made. Big V8 and short, straight through exhaust is a big winner!

Great day yesterday. Parking a joke as usual, was collecting tickets from the front desk but you couldn't get in to park without a ticket. lol

Can't complain too much as tickets were courtesy of Ian at BGMSport, rallying was worth braving the cold for. Firenza was just crazy as said above, when he stopped and managed to engulf the car in flames certinally got the marshals attention
