Is anyone going next Sunday or has anyone been to previous years event?

Just wondering if it's worth going and if my two boys (9 & 12) will enjoy it or just find it boring with lots of anoraks standing around 924s?

I know there won't be any drifting performances for them to enjoy but is there some exciting things going on to keep them entertained? For reference they have enjoyed the Bicester Scrambles we've been to in the past.

No and no from me, it's too far as a day trip from Sheffield and not enticing enough to turn it into a weekend. Maybe you can go and convince me(her) otherwise for next year!

I got tickets...£5 off each adult ticket for non club members and kids go free. £40 for four of us seems like a bargain for a day out these days!

And the list of cars on show looks fantastic...some of my dream race cars including the 962 rothmans le mans, 963 jota, 3.0 rsr jagermeister etc and loads of great road cars...

Food, some music, driving sims etc. We are looking forward to it....well, me and the kids are (not 100% sure the Mrs is though!)
