Japfest - Donington 2019

Is anyone attending the Donington show this year?

Yep loads of us! There’s an MX5 takeover event and if my memory serves me right they were looking for up to 120 on the stand.

Had no idea there was a takeover event on this year. I’ve seen the one for Silverstone and Donington 2018 on the forums but nothing about this one.

Is everyone convoying or just turning up on their own?

I had the misfortune to be caught up in the queue to get into Japfest while reporting on a CSCC race meeting at Silverstone .

 

Ye gods and little fishes , what a bunch of knuckle dragging idiots. Unless anybody thinks , at 7am on a Sunday morning , that it is just fine to wind up the banging tunes to 11 , then hold the throttle open to revlimiter level in your badass Skyline, just so you can share the bangs and pops  the bloody thing made . In the middle of a village, in  stationary traffic  …

 

Do they pay you to get in ? I’d need a lot - and a disguise

After that glowing report on the event, I’m sold.

ill pay you a tenner to attend Mr Aston?

obviously i would want you to drive 

Make it 50 , but I will have to adopt a disguise , as well as putting some incomprehensible Japanese script on my front wings .
