Piazza Italia in Horsham over the Easter weekend

[knight]

Anyone going to be taking their cars to this? Will hopefully be nice weather and a good turnout

[iandc]

I missed it last year. What day(s) is it on over Easter? Is any Italian car welcome or do they have, for example, Ferrari Day etc. Will try to go this year. What are the arrangements?

Many thanks. Lets hope the weather holds. Looks like a great event. Do you need to pre-book or just turn up at the rendevous?

[knight]

If you want to participate I think you need to prebook, probably through an owners club at a guess.

[paul71a]

Its a pre-book event, via FOC.

And unfortunately its fully booked, but with a waiting list I think?

Anyhow, we'll be there... hoping for no rain this year!

I'm going to be in Horsham over the weekend I think anyway, but if I wanted to see supercars, does anybody know which is actually the best day for it?

Have you read post 3 ?

Yes and I don't know whether I want to see Ferraris on Friday or Supercars on Monday, and having never been before I don't know which is better.

Perhaps you could help by answering?

I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure

Go both days !

Sorry to be a pain but is it just the Ferrari only day which is bookable via FOC. Seems a little illogical that FOC "own" booking for the non-Ferrari day!! Is there any other way to attend with a non Ferrari supercar on the Monday?

Certainly an option!

I've only been on the non-ferrari days:

[paul71a]

Th FOC (sussex area) organise the Friday only.

Not sure who looks after the Monday run.

Fantastic, the Monday it is then.

Thanks

Good Friday - fully booked but may still be allowed in if you own an exeptional ferrari like an enzo for instance.
Monday - believe there are still places; contact is Phil Stebbings of the De Tomaso Owners Club.

No it is full (and there is already an Enzo booked in).
