The drivers of the cars paid to exhibit, that's the bit that went to charity, all the gate money from the increased visitor numbers still went to the castle... What many have a gripe with is they binned off the Supercar seige posse and then put on exactly the same show, using the reputation built by the seige!

The same happened with a hotrod car show at beaulieu, a local car club took all the risks to establish a show there over several years, only to be told they weren't welcome back.... Then, surprise, surprise, beaulieu put on their own hotrod drive in, same weekend, of the year, just a touch more expensive for slightly less benefits....

I also find it ironic that when we attended we weren't allowed to start up/rev engines for fear of spoiling the tranquility of the venue, and now they have the Terry grant stunt show and jet ski stunt show on the lake!!!

Anyhoo, if you wish to go you still have time to enter, it is a lovely venue.....
