Default Japfest.. How good is it?

Never been before but got tickets for this year! How much is there to do and see? Is it worth a 5 hour round trip? Gonna cost me a small fortune in petrol and i'm gonna miss the united v arsenal game!
So interested in peoples opinions who have been before.....

Thanks.

Its a quality day out mate, loads of quality cars on display to see, top birds, good burger vans PLUS track action and drifting all day long.

Highly recommend it. As long as the weather holds....

I been the last 3 years and really ummed and ahhed about this year as it's nothing special, just wandering around looking at cars with a bit of drifting going on from time to time. Good bargins to be had on occassion though

I am only coming from Cardiff so it's not too far but wouldn't travel for 5 hours for it. Each to their own, I get bored and leave by 3; this year I will probably be gone by 1.30 to behonest.
