I went a few years ago on the Sunday, very very busy. There's obviously alot of cars on display your probably never see any where else. I think there was a small rally stage when I went and mainly lots of promotional displays from all the manufacturers. Can't really remember what else was there. It took all day to see it a though. whats the difference between Saturday and Sunday?
Definitely worth going I would say

Thanks for that mate I got the tickets, it just lists a few different things going on. Sunday just mentions hillclimb final which will be good anyway

I would like to go but I get the impression that it's full of snobs.

Cracking day out, loads to see, not much difference between the two days tbh, but you might get the hill climb competitors trying just that little bit harder as it's the final. Rally stage is worth a visit, long hike up the hill but worth it if you like rally cars

You'll have a good day, Chris Evans had his own display when I went. Ferraris etc all parked randomly not even fenced off all covered in finger prints where people been looking at them all day, he didn't give a shit 😂
Take note of where you park, we didn't and spent 1 hour walking round fields trying to find the car at the end of the day.

I went on the Sunday last year, it’s an amazing show, mega huge too, I still didn’t see everything in one day, some quality stuff there, from what I’m told it’s as busy on sat as it is Sunday....
well worth going for any petrolhead

Cheers Paul

I'd consider that as free additional entertainment, listening to the hoorays waffling on.

I don’t think it is full of snobs at all, pretty much all walks of life there just sharing a love of cars.
