Bellissimo! Brands Hatch will once again pay tribute to the great automotive nation of Italy at the latest edition of Festival Italia! For one day only, the ever-popular event will transform the historic circuit into the Temple of Speed!

The best of Italy will descend on Kent with Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Fiats, Alfa Romeos, Lancias and more present to celebrate Italian automotive passion.

On-circuit entertainment will include Ferrari and Alfa Romeo headline races, with contests for classic and contemporary Italian cars. There will also be special track demonstrations from historic Italian race cars, plus much more.

Off-track activities include hundreds of Italian cars and bikes on display, with lots for the whole family to enjoy including Italian cuisine, trade stands, live music and more.

This looks like a lot of fun, would anyone be interested if we sorted out a club stand?

Actually, to get the ball rolling I've applied for some spaces - I'll update this if we get accepted

hi
have doe it everyyear since 2018 and each year it gets worse. had the car on display for 3 years and its now days full off lots of modern 500s etc and boy racers.

for classics you end up hiding away or on lose stones casuing the cars to get stone chips and dusty.

Sorted your ticket yet?

Yep, looking forward to it but Piccolo Rosso’s gearbox is playing up, especially 5th. But 1-4 will get me there

Ok a month to go, so now we start pushing this.

Just a reminder - this isn't like a usual car show - you can't wait until the last minute and just show up. We only have (strict) limited spaces and a car needs to be approved to be on the stand. So if you want to come, you need to get booked ASAP!

(Ticket deadline is July 30th)

I'll get in contact with them again to ask. There's a few forum registration instructions too that I didn't post either.

Updated first post.

7:30 ~ 9:30 through the main entrance (I don't think there even is another one) and the onsite staff will direct you to the stand area

 

[Project40cars]

Fab! I just got the car back from Auto Alfa in Basildon it now has a shiny new cam belt, water pump & cam variator. Now I just need to get it cleaned (and the air con charged) for it to be ready for the big day
