French Car Show 2013

[Thrust-Rated]

I liked CSS for the social side of it, and it was certainly FAR better laid out and more smoothly run etc (although to be fair to FCS thats easier when you have far more spaces than cars like at CSS) but it didnt compete for me with getting out on track at donnington at FCS, such an epic track and far more exciting than a museum, even though I did enjoy both.

I agree on that side of things chip 100%
With the track time.
Imagine CSS with track time too? That would be great I think.

Yes it would be fantastic, I'd like to see CSS at Mallory TBH

 

[Cup_Phil]

I love mallory for small shows - PPC in the Park is awesome there

Rtoc have held there national day there a few times. Such a great venue not to be not to small, ideal for a club like CS I reckon

 

[Adam G]

I'd love it at Mallory - 10 minutes from home lol

 

[not normal dan]

It ain't much further from me, yet Donnington was still closer

 

[Tony Hunter]

Lol at some of the comments. Phone up and find out how much somewhere like Donington,Silverstone, Rockingham cost to hire.

Mallory would be do able, as it's in the lower end of that bracket. But still expensive.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Agreed, even for the likes of mallory to work you would need to get good take up on track time, you wouldnt pay for it with a fiver a head on the gate for just a few hundred CS'ers.
Silvestone you need about 30K people at 20 quid a head and still sell out the track time as well, its a PROPER expensive place to hire.

 

[Tony Hunter]

So I guess I'm right with the location and date then.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Still not seen it announced anywhere yet mate.

 

[Sam]

Castle Combe.

Facebook says a maximum of 20 cars on track per session and apparently this is one of the only tracks that allow that allow that.

Plus it has loads of open space like Luke said.

[Tim.]

And when & where is CSS '13??? Luke, it's surely time for an (official) announcement?

 

[MartinR]

P*ssy

Unless i go in the dci and track it

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Just cruise there. Or camp. Make a weekend out of it. Will be good

 

[Adam G]

It's not that far and Chippenham's quite a nice town to stay. Probably only about 1 1/2 hrs if you go early.

 

[sbridgey]

Our new venue is really cool I think. Absolutely massive as well! Hopefully will get the chance post up the details on this evening or Saturday.

I really hope its where i think it is.

 

[Don]

I really hope its where i think it is.

Si...even us Area Reps know nothing about when or where far.

I know but I pm'd Tom a location idea last year, and he said he was already considering it, i will say no more.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Tell us si. What you got to lose

I think wherever CSS will be. It'll be good. I liked it last year, but I like change. I don't mind travelling anywhere either.

 

[-Danman-]

3 hour drive, think I'll give it a miss seeing as I work till 10pm Friday and start at 10am Sunday.

Would've been awesome to camp though.

 

[sbridgey]

Would rather not, chances are its not there but they do host loads of car shows so its quite possible.

 

[P17 TOO]

218 miles away for me then so that's a bit s**t!

[Chip-mk1]
