Hi all,

First time going to the Festival of Speed and going on a Friday, have read all the tips on here which is very useful.
I have seen the entry list and there are many cars I want to see but I prefer taking them in parked and only a few I care about going up the hill.

Is it as simple as going to the paddock the cars are listed at (many are grouped which should help) and I will find? Or am I being too naive.
Appreciate I won't be able to see everything but wanted to maximise seeing cars whilst still being a fun day.

Thanks

All of the cars will be on static display, they then move them to the hill before their timing slots.

You just need to work out where the cars are on display.

And too early or too late in the day some cars may have covers on. They’re not supposed to during open hours but it happens.

Pretty straightforward once you are there and see how it is all laid out. Paddocks are typically themed and all pretty close to each other, stay to the left of the hill/track looking up and you'll see nearly everything. The right side used to be full of impressive manufacturer stands but that's largely died off, Kwik Fit appear to have a prime spot there now! The First Glance paddock has moved over there though, if you're interested in new road cars.

It is easier to miss the supercars now they've moved away from the main paddock, they are right down near the start line and basically seperate from everything else.

The Cathedral Paddock typically contains the pre-war and early stuff, the F1 paddock is self explanatory and just above that you'll usually find basically everything else.

Oh, and don't forget having a walk around the Performance car park. Very often loads of nice (and different which is the stuff i like looking at) stuff in there. Just above the F1/ race cars paddock.

Not been for a few years (finally going again this year) but the concours green is always worth allocating some time too. If you stroll around the paddock most of the day you should see everything due to go up the hill.
