What's it like?

I've never been to one and am thinking of going and taking my 12 year old bro-in-law.

Suitable or mad and hectic?

Pat...

Its a great show, the Live Action Arena event is excellent..

I've been 3 times, and it started to feel the same each year, with not much changing interms of content.

Well worth the first visit

beware of young ladies wearing tight latex flogging free stuff at trade stands.. sheild the young ones eyes...

Last year, greg took some video, doesn't show much,

get some of the idea..

About 5 or 6 years ago it was a great show, now its turned a bit too 'max power' for my liking.

Tuning does not consist of alloys and stereos, but due to the shows popularity thats the type of thing thats taken over.

But saying that, yes the ladies in lycra are worth the visit

Me and a mate went last year and going again this year! (says it all really)

Great day out you wont regret it!

Worth every penny just to look at the young lady's the cars are just an added bonus

Dave...........

I was at it the last two years and was very impressed.
Can't make it this year due to a cricket tour to Barbados (life is rough!).
We were there on the press/industry days and it was great - live arena very good - and it really did take two days to get around the thing. Also some decent deals on offer (I got a full MSA stickered helmet for £50!).
Enjoy yourself

agree entirely with the comments above, and agree its still worth going as it is the only show that really covers everything in motorsport.

Try and get to the oval action arena if you can, see the big grassers display rather than the smaller ones at the other shows..

Is the parking horendous?

Or is the train a better idea?

Pat...

Go on the trade day if you can wangle it, more serious stuff on display that isn't there for the public days.

Well worth a visit.There are 12 of us going this year for the fifth time. We don't have a problem with parking but we always arrive first thing for it opening. If you have a problem seeing the cars for girls just ask them to move The Santa Pod girls are our favourites

If anyone's going on the Thursday trade day, come and say hi to Jon at Racelogic

If you come on Friday its a 'trade' day .Check the autosportshow web site and you may get a discount ticket, I'll be on the 750 club locost site

I'm going on the friday, I've been going since it was "the racing car show". The last time I went on a "public" day it was heaving.

You get the engineering (F1 etc) on the trade days and the Pistonheads show on the friday too.

Cheers

Chris

Yep we are going Friday too!
