Thumbs down Santa Pod events question....

Hi

I'm planning on going to Santa Pod from Malta to see an event. Problem is its a long way from Malta so i would like to go for something realy worth it.

Any suggestions for an event worth traviling all the way? And an event which is least likely to rain and event getting canceled.... that would totaly suck

Thanks in advance

It's always a washout at Easter, but you've missed that.
What type of Cars do you want to see?

Any event that's not a Bank holiday here is usually O.K. as it almost always rains on Bank Holidays.
I used to go the the Euro finals for many years and don't remember much rain.
It's in September though.

Again...depends what type of cars you want to see...

Having been to Malta once myself...I wouldnt get my hopes up of being impressed too much at Santa Pod.

The standard of cars in Malta is excellent...in both preparation, and performance !!!!

Santa Pod does see some nice cars too at the more normal events....but lots of crap too.

I don't know what you mean by "chavvier" (sorry i'm not british) but i assume it mean cool or something like that

The problem is that my dad will be coming and i don't see him champing since he is in his 50s
