Castle Combe's Japanese Car Show

website said:
Everyone loves a Japanese Car Show especially one at the West Country's home of motorsport!

Boasting a chilled atmosphere with viewing banks metres from the track, Combe never fails to provide performance car owners and admirers with a place to share their passion both on and off track and have a fantastic day out.
Track sessions, show & shine, etc.

Japfest has moved to Silverstone and takes place on 24th April - http://www.japfest.co.uk/japfesthome
Japday has retained the old Japfest slot in May. From a spectator PoV I much prefer Combe.
Half the fun is watching people on track making a complete Horlicks of Camp/Quarry. smile

I'll be there as usual on our club stand.

Should be just as good as Japfest with backing from Banzai Magazine. See you there.

I am going! Only an hour up the road compared to 3 hours to Silverstone meaning the day costs all of £50 for fuel and food opposed to around £200 for hotel, food and lots of fuel.

I had a cracking day even though I was suffering the hangover from hell.

Amazing weather, the track sessions didn't look too manic, the show areas were stuffed full.

I'm glad it went well and acts a big up yours to the orgamisers who relocated Japfest to Silverstone.

Was really impressed with the day, we arrived just after 8 and had zero queing to get into the circuit (a first) and had a great day out. There were certainly less cars on show but they were all closer which was good. Felt like there were just as many people about as last year!

Track sessions didn't look that full I think the early session had 2 cars running, would have been good for a newbie like myself though....maybe next year!

Managed to take some shots.
