Do you have to be a member of this club to attend or can you just turn up. What sort of cars attend. Would a 11 year old boy racer renault be welcome?

Nothing for sports cars then? Guess I won't be able to show my 981 Boxster S or Z4M this year at any of them. Will still tag along though. Might be able to take the M135i if hot hatch day wins!

Wow, what a dull list, the classic day is the only one that interests me but then I'll be there for three days the following month anyway.

If you have a classic American classic V8 there's three events for them, yet nothing fore sports cars or soft-tops. Very strange.

It's getting worse each year, shame really as they used to have some great themed meets and for most of the months. We are down to 5 now and nothing really interesting.

They've had softop sunday for years. Maybe time to give someone else a chance. I've got two days that fit... and that's without either a V8 or anything 'Murican

To me it lost its appeal a couple of years ago, its now just to busy .

There are so many good small meets these days that are far more interesting & you don't have to deal with so much traffic

Ive also been wary of some of the driving near the circuit by those who cant drive showing off & often that seems the odd supercar more than any other & its only going to lead to a heavier Police presence & rightly so but it ruins the drive home & back, for me it was always an excuse for an early morning blast.

This made You tube & I guess there are others https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I66OdjxAALI

You get knobbers in most walks of life but thankfully they are in the minority.

I don't see this as a common problem or issue but some people just can't help themslves - it wouldn't put me off attending (I'm registered for the supercar event, waiting to see if I'll be allowed in) but if you use it for a blast, completely understandable why you miss it.

They need to keep on banning drivers/the cars and eventually they'll get the message..... I hope

Just checked out some videos - didn't realise how busy they were!

I am at the Hot Hatch one on Sunday in my Clio Trophy. I imagine it won't draw the 'spotters' in the same numbers, but probably increase the amount of knobbers. I was anticipating it to be a handful of true geeks given the time of day it starts!

I’ll be there.

Last time it was hot hatch it was either who had the loudest sound system or who had the best bang map. Quite annoying when trying to talk to people rofl
