Roll-Up, Roll-Up For The Amazing Moving Motor Show

PH will be at Goodwood for all four days of the Festival of Speed - you can be too

---

Tickets have gone on sale for the inaugural Festival of Speed 'Moving Motorshow'.

The cost of entry to the new manufacturer event on Thursday 1st July (immediately preceding the Festival 'proper') will be £20, which doesn't look bad value considering the raft of manufacturers who have pledged to show-up and show-off their latest metal.

Manufacturers will headline on Thurs...

We'll post the full list of attendees as soon as it has been officially sanctioned, but take it from us (courtesy of info we've had from the organisers) that it's pretty comprehensive and includes many of the performance brands that should get the PH seal of approval. Confirmed manufacturers so far include Porsche, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Abarth, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce, Morgan and BMW, and we'll have news on more (and the specific models they'll be bringing) soon. We're also promised a couple of big surprises to be announced in the next couple of weeks.

"On Thursday 1 July 2010 new cars buyers will be able to enjoy an exclusive motor show preview day, where they will not only be able to see the very latest new car models on display, but in many cases also climb aboard and experience the vehicles first-hand at each manufacturer's invitation," says the official blurb. "The cars will undertake hundreds of runs on a special evaluation route that includes the world famous Goodwood hillclimb, following in the wheel tracks of many celebrated racing drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Sir Stirling Moss."

Test drive tickets will be allocated by manufacturers it seems, so you'll need to put on your best 'I want to buy your car' face and get down to your local dealer, but we reckon that the day will have plenty of good stuff to see and do to justify the entry price, even if you don't manage to bag a ride.

Fri/Sat/Sun will be pretty much...

...business as usual

One of the more obvious highlights (ahem!) of this year's FoS will be the opportunity to meet members of the PH team (on all four show days) as we'll have our own stand at the event for the first time ever. If you don't want to talk to us don't worry, we can hardly blame you - but don't miss the opportunity to browse all the latest PH merchandise. Remember, your mates will never know you went unless you've got the T-shirt to prove it...

Looks very good value to me

There are some great cars that we're not able to go public on just yet, but that we're really quite about.

Plus, the chance to see Garlick in the flesh, and all for £20. A veritable bargain...

[Hippycake]

Am bit confused cause will the rest of the FOS be in position on the Thursday, I mean am I going to see the Cartier Lux area like with 40% of the cars there or will there be full access to all the other regular Festival of Speed areas with the vendor areas shutdown and loads of the cars missing as they wont arrive till Friday? Sort of have a vision in my head of a 3/4 built festival of speed while the moving motor show element is underway.

Plus not sure if I like the idea of sorta seeing the the FOS stuff a day in advance, I dunno am prob thinking bout it too much and I have full confidence Lord March will have the whole thing planned out 110% so I guess I,ll just have to wait and see.

Any words on tickets for Thursday yet? Who from etc, I heard bout em being from one of the sponsors?

The rest of the FOS will be in position; supercar paddock, race car paddocks, static displays on the cricket pitch, Dunhill etc etc. All vendors and manufacturer stands will be open, and it will be in every respect like a normal FOS day. The only difference will be that the cars (with the exception of the supercar paddock) won't be on the hill, and these will be replaced by test drives by visitors.

As the story says above, you can buy tickets using the links. Manufacturer test drives are being given out by manufacturers through their dealer networks but there are a very, very small number of these available. General entry tickets are being sold, and not given away.

I will be going to FOS again this year as it was a blast last year, I'd like to go to the motorshow day too.. but i'm not sure I can justify another 20quid for it.

[A Scotsman]

If Labour win the election the commissariat will probably ban it.

[Gunton]

I will coming down on Sunday with my brother it's the first time for us two.

Can't wait to see my brother wet himself with joy when he sees the BDA escort rally car going round the rally course.


And we will have to come see you guys on the PH stand. Can't wait roll on 4th July!!!!

[murphster]

I have never been, but think I will this year - what is your opinion the best day to go?
