i went last year , and it was pretty boring to be honest, no atmosphere or buzz. Not much to see in the way 'interesting cars'. Expensive entrance fee for what you get. Just my opinion! - before i get flamed lol

I've heard that Rally Day is the one to go to. I went to Japfest with my brother last year and he was gobsmacked by the lack of atmosphere compared to RallyDay

I don't think you can compare Rallyday against many of the shows it is a completely different animal, one on it's own really. Partly because of the topic and partly due to what seems to appear out of normal peoples garages tucked away in the darkness. The other show with similar content is in Chatsworth House on 5-6th June and that's another cracker

i will be there, helping out these guys with thier trade stand:

Automotive inspired Clothing, Apparel & Stickers - Car Culture

Although the atmosphere there isnt as good as some shows, i think with the all day track action, there is always something to watch.

Just sit back and lose a few hours watching people be heroes on track!

might as well call it chavfest i went last year for the first time and it was a bit dull. Rallyday is by far the better event, its a real good mix of road examples and classic/current works rally cars and rally stars. Not much in the form of proper motorsport cars or good drivers at japfest; Just like having a massive track day in my opinion and for some reason it cost more than rally day!? each to their own i guess!
