Title: Brooklands Autumn Motorsport Festival Oct 14th Post by: TonyLanciaBeta on October 04, 2012, 09:04:00 PM Not officially an Italian car event, but AutoItalia are who are organizing the event have set aside a Italian club stand area
should be a great selection of cars :D Details from AutoItalia Magazine: Brooklands Autumn Motorsport Festival – Sunday October 14th A repeat of last year’s successful inaugural event. Competition cars from all ages will be put through their paces on the adjacent Mercedes-Benz World test track. Selected cars will also run up the demanding Brooklands test hill. Visitors can expect to see a wide variety of competition cars including Formula 1, F5000, GTs and Touring cars and Group B rally cars. This is the only venue in the UK where visitors can get really close to the action. Although Italian cars are a feature of this event, there are plenty of other vehicles to see and hear. For example, in 2011 we had the ex-Nelson Piquet F1 Benetton on track accompanied by a Group B Metro 6R4 and the monster, record breaking Napier Railton. Something for everyone. Latest news is that there will be an area set aside for Italian car clubs. This is a great late season opportunity to display your car.
