Ferrari National Concourse 4th July

[melvster]

It is not far away now and is described as one of the best must attend events, i dont own a Ferrari myself, for those that do, could you make a list with your name and the car you are taking.

Am i correct in saying the event is at Walton Hall in Warwickshire?

It's a good event. Nice chilled vibe, but be warned it's not the most dynamic of events! Most people bring a picnic and just hang out. Personally, I can't be arsed with all the polishing the inside of the exhaust pipes and lining up screw heads so I go to catch up with people I haven't seen for a while, since this one of the few national events in the FOC calendar.

It is at Walton Hall CV35 9HU

Hi there,

The FOC Annual Concours is a superb event. So much so that I am staying over at Goodwood for the Festival of Speed on Friday and Saturday and then heading back up to Walton Hall for the FOC event on the Sunday.

Heres a few shots from last years event: -

If I've got my car back I might go. Concourse really isn't my thing but I might go to have a look at the cars. Presume it's open to non-FOC members?

Tom, it is but you will have to pay to enter, I think it's £20 per car for non members

It's a good event. I entered the concours a couple of times with my old 308GT4. did it for fun. turned up with a plastic bucket sponge and chamois as my concourse kit! Was amazed how anal some people are about it. to some it is a competition of (and i quote from a very experienced judge)' how clean is my car'. One member told me that whilst he cleaned parts of his car with cotton buds, he "wasn't anal'. Some real enthusiasts who just love the cars and they and their cars make the event interesting.
Will try to come by after goodwood as well
Do they still refuse to allow lambos in the concourse area! lol
