IMO it was poor.
Although some track time would have improved it for me...

I saw a lot of chavved up machinery on the M1 as I was travelling home on Sunday, didn't look like I missed too much.

A few nice stylish cars there, A few max power but Very well engineered cars there and loads of high street cars.
I like Clio Williams and Pug 205 GTIs but I really don't see the attraction of 40 Clio Williams in a row (35 look the same and 5 have a few mainly minor alterations). The same with the 205s but 90 of them.
And there were a few real turkeys there.....

I'm glad I didn't waste my time, for us it's our annual 205GTIdrivers national meet and the attendees also said the show was poor.

I went with cliosport.net

was a great show even though my mates 205 decided to give up on track

got a few laps in the yozzasport demo clio which was superb!

Lots of walking though which wasnt too good as everything was so spread out!
But in all was a great day out

I found the show itself was poor, but i'm not really into the show side of things anyway, I only went for the track time. The track time was ok, although the layout/surface was crap! I doubt very much i'll go next year.

I thought it was OK. Hadn't been before so didn't have any expectations but it was alot better than any other car related shows I've been to. Admittedly there were some shockers there, and there was also quite a few dodgy cars. I don't quite get the whole modifying thing but I'd sooner someone put all their time and effort into their car rather than being little shites. One downer was the third degree burns to my scalp though.

Or maybe your more easily pleased....

Your correct the people do make a difference, but the venue is very badly laid out for the 'show' part (I was going to type 'poor' but thinking about it, the lay-out is the problem).
I remember going to knebworth classic car show years ago and seeing row upon row of triumph stags. They're quite a nice car but once you've seen 5 of them, you've seen them all...
I'm afraid the same is true for some of the cars at FCS.
If they make the front of each 'plot' 5 cars wide and 50 cars deep then I wouldn't have got soooo bored walking past most of them but could have seen loads of the make/models that interests me most.

Yeah, Beggers can't be choosers!!!!!

It was my first time there, but it was rather good having it on the runway instead of a field!

Next one, EuroFest at Castle Combe, A proper track!
