so what is better. ford fair or fitp or any other uk event im unaware of?




As Adam said, FITP is much more of a social event, whereas at Ford Fair it's a lot bigger with more trade stands, and also other stuff going on like the 0-60 runs and also cars going round the track for most of the day. Trax which we're also going to in September, is very similar to Ford Fair only it's for car clubs of all makes.

I'm not sure that any of the shows are necessarily "better" than others, rather they're all different.

I'll provisionally say yes, but probably won't know until close to the deadline due to shift pattern.

As Chris has said, they are all different.

But, My favourite has to be Ford Fair.... Just the driving in through the gates of Silverstone in a slow convoy to our stand, while all of the public are walking with their days supply of pop and crisps and looking at us in admiration is fantastic.

And then, there is the 0-60 sprint on a part of the Silverstone track..... being watched by hundreds of people! ...........Just don't stall it.

So, I promise, it's an action packed day for all, you'll love it.

....... C'MOOOON! GET YOUR NAMES DOWN!

+1 Also the driving past other road users on the way, especially at roundabouts when someone is waiting to get out and all they see is an endless stream of Fiesta 's

We meet up outside the track and convoy in... it's follow the leader for this and usually it's one of the site staff that take the lead if people aren't confident with heading to the stand location.

The difference between the shows:

Fiesta In The Park - This is the first show of the season and after the X-mas cold period it's a really nice feeling getting to see everyone again and enjoy the day. I personally think FITP is my favourite, for these very reasons.

Ford Fair - This show is pretty much the whole inside of silverstone track covered in Ford Clubs. It's brilliant to see all the different cars on show and see cars racing around the track aswell as doing 0-60 runs.

Trax - This show is for all varietys of cars and also holds the popular mag girls wearing next to nothing. Not my personal favourite as I think it's all a bit Max Flower - but it's really nice to end the show season off and pack our cars away for the winter once again.

Back onto topic...

I won't be there but i'm sure that I can phone through to make sure the organisation is set up all good
