No more Supercar weekend / Dad's day out
Discussion
I've been attending this since around 2014 - apart from one year when my 360 engine had self destructed. It was one of the highlights of the year for me.
Sad to receive an email yesterday saying that - due to rising energy costs etc. - they have revised which fundraising events they run, and the supercar weekend no longer makes the cut. I don't know the numbers, but I suspect it became less profitable after moving away from Dunsfold.
It's a real shame - it was for an excellent cause, and was a really fun event. In my "should I / shouldn't I" buy another Supercar this year, events like this were a big plus in my deliberations.
RIP

Always look forward to this event, best day of the year.
I wonder if everyone was to pay for their own lunch and donated 100 pounds to the childrens trust to drive this would help bring back this event?
I must admit, I thought similar. You'd think there would be ways to make it a bit more profitable.I wonder if everyone was to pay for their own lunch and donated 100 pounds to the childrens trust to drive this would help bring back this event?
But perhaps they're very far away from it making sense for them, and that would just be a small drop.

I can't find anything called "Dad'd Day Out" in recent years. Is this in reference to "The Supercar Event" that has taken place in Goodwood in July the last few years?
Yes (I think it was called Dads Day Out a long time ago, although I may be confusing that with something else)yellowtr said:

Any idea how far out we are from making the event happen again? It really was brilliant to fund such a good cause in such a way having done it for many years.
We don’t need the coffees and lunches and discounted petrol. If we all chipped in some reasonable amount on top would that help?
Watch this space. Myself, Mal, Rich and Mark are meeting up in the next few weeks....We don’t need the coffees and lunches and discounted petrol. If we all chipped in some reasonable amount on top would that help?
Maybe buying my car last weekend wasn't such a bad idea
Mind you. I'm wondering where this 'discounted' petrol was!
