I'm off to Race Retro this weekend with Tygan. I've never been to the show before but have high expectations - the show seems to have really come on in the last couple of years. Can't wait to see the Group B rally cars on display, in particular. Anybody who fancies a coffee and a chat is welcome to make themselves known.

Sorely tempted to get to this as I've not been before but not sure whether time will be on my side this weekend. frown

Just watched the video on their website and it will be worth going just to see the Group B stuff in action!

I went to the first one and was sorely disappointed.
Yes , the cars were nice, but there were no 'show special' prices, and if anything the prices seemed to have been put up!
I went with cash in my wallet ready to buy a full set of racing clobber (helmet, suit , gloves, boots underwear), but the prices on the day seemed very dear, and this was confirmed when i got back and checked on various websites that the shop price would have been cheaper!

It also seems quite expensive to get in, £30 on the day,£25 in advance (if you include the parking). quite a few people i've spoken to have been put off by the price.

I've been the last 2 years, and I do enjoy it. I must say i'm shocked at the price increase though. I was going to go with the good lady, but £60 for two tickets is too steep. Not sure whether to go now.....
