Anyone going? Might have a wander over for a look. Did it run last year and if so general opinion?

I was at the one at Oulton Park earlier in the year.

If you're looking at buying a car I expect its a great event, being able to compare lots of cars on the same circuit on the same day would be pretty handy (even if its only from the passenger seat). Its also a good chance to chat to the companies producing the cars and owners too.

Unlike the other shows, it doesn't really have many parts or tools stands etc, the focus is purely on the kit manufacturers and their cars on track.

The events are excellent, the first one was deemed a bit of a letdown by some people purely as there were not many "punters" there. This was just due to limited advertising and it being the first one. But for the people that did go, it could not have been better, no queues for some of the cars. I was driving on behalf of GTM and sometimes there were no people to take round! The more popular it gets, better for the manufacturers but more people queuing for rides. Get in while its quiet! Last time most cars were free to ride in once you had your £10 wristband, but expect to pay around £10 per ride in the future. Most cars are customer cars with their owners driving and you money usually goes to the drivers towards petrol and tyres, not profit.

I'm driving one of two Toniq-Rs on track at Snetterton, and am really looking forward to it. It's our local circuit, we've done a lot of testing there and the Tuner GP is the day before so we're going to make a weekend of it... the last TOTALKITLIVEs have looked brilliant.

That'll do for me. I'll have a look-see and take the video camera. Best if I leave the cheque book at home just yet..

I've been to the 2 previous Totalkitcarlive shows and they have both been very good.
Looks like Sky TV are going to be doing some filming at the event as well !
I will be driving my GTM Spyder on track and hope to see plenty of action during the day.

See you there
