PistonHeads CPoP Ticket Giveaway

The 2011 motoring summer season is still in full swing, and you can enjoy it at the Pageant of Power for free with PH

---

This year is shaping up to be a great one for the car enthusiast. Le Mans and Goodwood may have already passed, but we still have the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power (CPoP to its friends) and a host of local events and Sunday Services still to come. So don't plan anything that's not car-related for your weekends just yet. In fact, make sure you keep the weekend of 15th-17th July free, as this is the weekend of Cholmondeley and - thanks to PH - you might just be able to attend for free.

A few weeks ago we gave you a sneak preview of what to expect , but what sets this event apart from the others is the fact that everyone who runs the course at CPoP really wants to set a fast time, and that means a huge amount of action taking place for the spectator.

In addition to a host of classic and racing metal, you'll see road cars like the Atom V8 and Gallardo Performante attempting to beat the current record, set in 2010 by a Gallardo Superleggera, which completed the course in 63.91 seconds.

No slow parades here; you need to be 'on it' from the start to be in with a chance of setting a respectable time. Another highlight is the 1969 Lotus 63 - an experimental F1 car designed by Colin Chapman and Maurice Phillipe. Graham Hill flatly refused to drive the car after just one test drive describing it as a 'death trap'. Not sure who will be driving it at CPoP but we doff our hat to you!

And so to our fabulous money-can't-buy giveaway*. As a loyal PHer, you need a treat from time to time, so we have arranged one for you. Up for grabs we have:

• One main prize of Saturday Paddock tickets and fireworks concert tickets for a family (2 adults, 2 children - or merely 2 adult tickets if you don't have kids!)
• 5 pairs of Saturday or Sunday Paddock tickets
• 10 pairs of Park (no access to the Paddock area) tickets for Saturday or Sunday

To enter, all you need to do is e-mail [e-mail] with 'CPoP' as the subject line and your name and mobile number within the main email. At 12.00 on Friday 8th July we'll pick one winner and 15 runners-up from Riggers's slightly festering 2010 Caterham Academy race helmet. All winners will be notified on the same day.

If you fear that luck may not be on your side, you can still purchase tickets by clicking on this link

Thanks to the team at CPoP for making this happen and we look forward to seeing you at the show.

*The CPoP organisers wish us to point out that this is a lie. Because you can just buy a ticket for the event. Still, sounds good, doesn't it?

Fantasic, did'nt make it to goodwood this year (after last year being my 1st).
Was looking at this yesterday, sounds brilliant! Being in the manchester area this is much nearer, and now the chance of free tickets.
Awesome. Thanks PH

Fun day out, about to give it a go!

[LukeSi]

SO does that mean there will be a PH presence at the show then? If so time to buy some merchandise

Mine got stickered up towards the end of last year and will be the first PH event to really use them in anger

[sinbaddio]

Do PH still have the offer code, just in case I don't win? I've searched the site but can't find the article anymore

I couldn't find anything neither apart from the days startat 8am.
Also asked on another thread but got no reply.
Might be worth emailing if there's a contact section on the official site?

I think I'll email them tomorrow. The reason I want one is that I might struggle to make it before lunch, so want to know what I'll miss.

[Garlick]

I'll try too. We haven't seem anything yet from them.

Cheers for that Garlick!

is there a PH enclosure/car club stand for PH members with interesting cars to park? or are we relegated to the public car parks again this year?

[Garlick]

It's a tough one to judge, as the organisers were happy to give us a space as long as we could promise to fill x amount of spaces with good cars.

Obviously we couldn't do that, as we had no idea how many PHers would attend, and so (I should imagine) the offer of PH parking will have lapsed. We do hope to become more involved with the event in 2012, but for now I think we'll have to ask you to park amongst the great unwashed.

Is there going to be a chance to spend all our money on PH merchandise? The BMW is looking a bit bare .

[Garlick]

Not at this event

Next large event for us (stand wise) will be Wilton House in August.

[LukeSi]

Dam, was looking forward to getting some PH merchandise. Next year hopefully

HAHAHA - just because it may be interesting doesn't mean it's not one of the great unwashed! last time mine got washed was the end of April!

(in needs a ruddy good going over. it looks nice when it's clean and shiny)

[SGBrown]

Never having been before, what is the general public parking area like? Is it hardstanding, or a field (like at Goodwood FoS)?

[snorkel sucker]

12pm has been and gone .... looks like another PH comp with no victory
