RE: Wilton House Classic and Supercars 2013

[rgw2012]

Yup, really looking forward to this years event. Couldn't believe the lucky break we had with the weather last year considering the weather on the journey down was atrocious!!

Tickets purchased and have arrived, including a West Lawn parking pass (thought I'd give it a go, had a bit of an issue with the parking last year but now understand the challenges that were faced from Team Will's post earlier)

Whole family is looking forward to it

[K17LER]

I'll be back again this year.

This was my little video from 2010; including some of the early morning fun before arrival at Wilton.

Got a couple of Premium tickets and a West Lawn Enclosure pass yesterday.

Blimey, over 400 of the 500 spaces are gone already - amazing stuff. Please be sure to buy your tickets in good time, they're very fairly priced and selling well, and don't forget to enter the PH competition in the article - YOU could be joining 175+ supercars for a morning's activities, and then be guests of Lord Pembroke at lunch.

Thats why it's in my opinion the best car show by a mile. Better even then the Festival Of Speed!

Hmm, okay?
Cracking show for what it is but not really in the same league as FOS in my opinion, what is essentially a static show with bit of revving can't really compete with the FOS hillclimb.
Still a dedent day out though.

[f430hunter]

depends if your one of the lucky drivers in the procession,i can honestly say this is one of the best organised events I have ever attended,and at least the organisers don't treat you like your just another attendant.

[red_duke]

Do we know how exotic a car has to be in order to make the 170+ parade?
Presumably if you make this list you still need to buy a premium ticket?

[Jaykaybi]

The supercars in the parade/display are invited by me from my own personal contact network.

Ah, fair enough.

I've bought a couple of premium tickets with lawn parking anyway but unless the F430 has suddenly acquired 'hyper car' status I guess that's it for me.

Can't wait!

I'm thinking about attending this event, but it's approx. a 3 hour drive there & back for me!

Is it worth it?
Are there good photo opportunities?

[Jaykaybi]

Adresses from our ticket sales include Scotland, Wales, France and the Netherlands. People have come from Switzerland before. And, many of the supercars on show will also be making a 3 hour (or longer) round trip to attend. Obviously I'm biased, but I believe it's well worth it.

I would say there are some great photo opportunities. As well as all the Supercars, there are all the other dispays and cars and add to that the backdrop of a stately home, it makes for some cracking photos.

Plus last year they had a helicopter doing back flips which was pretty tense!

Thanks for the replies guys, really helpful!

I was wondering what people's thoughts are on the VIP tickets compared to the standard tickets?

If you mean the Premium tickets..... http://www.wiltonclassicandsupercars.co.uk/tickets... explains it pretty well.

Access to the state rooms in the house and access to the garden enclosure where food and drink could be purchased.
Building does look amazing.

Also, don't forget to have a look around the Pistonheads car park for some little gems in their own right.

Damn it, didn't see this until today. There had better be five dropouts between now and August

No doubt there will be, but if you or anyone reading this does end up on the eventual reserve list I hope you'll still come along regardless. Nevertheless, we're looking at our site plans to see if we can boost the PH area capacity. Watch this space.
