Carfest
Oh joy! Decent venue, close to home, plenty of room as well
If is is half as good as it was last year, we are in for a treat! Fab cars, food & music. What more does a marshal want? Oh yes, a dry weekend! |

How are they getting around the 18:30 curfew? According to Mr Evans the concerts will be going on until 23:00 each night.

Maybe the question to ask is does this event use up one of Oulton Park's permitted weekends for racing? Bad idea if it does....

That's a shame, IIRC that weekend is the Classic Touring Car meeting at Mallory which I always enjoy. Tricky decision time

I enjoyed it, too, and will probably do it again if invited, but I just wondered how the residents will agree to loud bands until 23:00 when they complain about a single engine after 18:00 or a Typhoon flying over for a couple of minutes (mind you, it was beautifully ear shattering!). I'm sure it will all be sorted to everyone's satisfaction in due course.

Proof nothing is set in stone. Taken from the latest headline at Oulton Park's website:

"Tickets are expected to sell quickly" @ £60, wow, charity or not, that is ahell of a lot of money.Evans must have been talking to Lord March

Something's going wrong when you can quickly sell tickets @ £60 for something that isn't a race, and similar for Goodwood which isn't really a hillclimb, but crowds of a few dozen turn up for the average proper meeting.
Can't think of much I'd less like to attend than Carfest, personally, not even for free. |

I spectated at Carfest South last year and was my first festival experience, we'd already decided that we wouldn't do a weekend again (camping was cramped, with not enough toilets and showers and to be honest even though we're marshals the kill didn't really grab us and it didn't take all that long to see everything. The bands were ok) but that we might go for a day. However I have to be at Brands on the saturday (the day we'd want to go for Jools Holland) so its off the agenda for this year.
The thing is £60 does seem quite a lot but its a 13 hour event, which is "hillclimb", car display, concert and food/craft fair rolled in to one event, so worth it really. And a weekend ticket is much better value that a one day one if you want to see all of the bands. |

£35+ for 90 minutes "entertainment" at a football match; £75 for a Bon Jovi concert. £60 really isn/t that expensive for a full day and evening.

I was at South last year, and got weekend tickets for North this year
£110 may seem like a lot of money but compared to an F1 weekend very cheap, and certainly more entertainment going on at Carfest! |

Wait till the Oulton Park / Anglesey volunteering form gets issued. More should be revealed then.

The question mark is over the organising club. If you want to marshal the event then volunteer as normal. If the event organiser changes then this shouldnt really affect you.

Or in the alternative head over to Anglesey for a full weekend of racing instead of Carfest.
Seems to be quite a few less meetings at Anglesey this year - just in the main BARC / BRSCC with only an additional day with CSCC which may be a bit disappointing considering all the improvements going on over there. That's the first 10 days on the marshalling calender sorted. |

I'll try Anglesey some other time and I'm glad to see most meetings are 2 day. Now I have to decide if it's worth dragging all the way over there for just one day of CSCC. Decisions, decisions !Steve |
