Run What Ya Brung (BMWs only)

Get your car out on the famous ¼ mile! Full performance print out for each run, and competition with trophies for fastest 4, 6 & 8 cylinder cars. £20 for UNLIMITED runs on the track!

To enter the RWYB, simply enter on the day. You will need to bring your normal road driving licence to enter. Drivers of soft-top vehicles and those doing 110mph+ at the finish line will need a crash helmet. More details on the RWYB page.

If you have never taken your car on the track before then not to worry as there will be two sessions of RWYB School explaining exactly what to do and what not to.

If you want maximum track time then come for the weekend as there is a RWYB on Saturday 20th September with free camping for weekend ticket holders.

Show & Shine Competition (BMWs Only)

Got a sweet BMW show car? Whether it's a concours classic, or a modern modified monster, you are welcome to park up in the Show Car Paddock. There’s no need to pre-enter, and anyone with a BMW can enter on the day for FREE. We’ve got trophies for the BEST OF SHOW, BEST CUSTOM and BEST ORIGINAL so don’t leave it in the carpark where nobody can see it, get it round to the show & shine area, located behind the grandstand and you might be going home with a trophy.

1. Don’t forget to register your entry when you arrive in the show & shine area, registration is FREE.
2. Don’t forget to attend the presentations to find out if you have won.

Judging criteria: This isn’t a concours show, so we won’t be knocking off points for non-original brake pads, but the judges will be choosing the cars they like best purely on the look and overall condition. The best original will go to older cars in exceptional condition. The best custom is for cars that are heavily modified, and best of show is the car that everyone wants to take home!

BMW Drift Shows!

Whether you are a hardened drift fan or new to the sideways, smoky world of drifting, you'll love the drift track, featuring some of the UK's best BMW-driving drifters plus special guests! 2008 will see a bigger drift area then last year with more BMWs. Passenger rides will be available for £5.

What do drifters look for in a drift car? Big horsepower, rear wheel drive, and sure handling… that's why BMWs are making inroads in the drift scene. If you want to see what drifting is all about, make sure you catch one of the scheduled shows. In between the shows, there is bound to be some action from practice runs too, so take a seat and soak it up.

The vast majority of drift cars are of Japanese origin, so look out for some Jap car vs BMW drift battles during the shows.
