There will be in the region of 14 million jap cars give or take a couple, with all the car clubs attending ranging from Honda, through Mitsi, Toyota, Nissan etc..... The track will be open to all the clubs with people who have pre-booked track session time being allowed on the track. This is usually around 15 mins on the track with fellow scoobies.
Most or all of the trade stands and car manufacturers will be there so bring your credit card...
All in all if the weather is kind to us it will be a cracking day all round.

Castle combe isnt a bad circuit and if you dont go on the track you can walk the full circuit and sit back relax and watch the world go by SIDEWAYS.....

Surely with 14,000,000 Whooooh but that means only 8,000 other Jap cars, as the rest will be Scoobs

That number maybe less than last year if Peeps don't buy there Tickets from SIDC before Friday 30th as they c;ose sales then

Dave
On the gate price is, IIRC £10 but for that won't get access to the SIDC enclosure and you'll have to park with all the other Door dinging plebs

The good news is

But if you buy the Ticket's from the SIDC shop @ £10 it will included the coveted SIDC enclosure pass at no extra cost

The bad news is

This Friday 30 April sales of the Japfest entrance Tickets and Track sessions closes and then the only way you'll get in the SIDC enclosure will be with an Helicopter LOL

Tony

Ps clean your car there will be Camera's There

Do the tickets get sent out in a batch, once the closing date is passed, as I have not received my tickets yet. I ordered them about two weeks ago.

Thats correct

Once the list is closed tomorrow we will receive them from Japfest and they will all be sent out together. I expect them to be dispatched the week before the event
