Would have been there but for the small matter of the last games in the Rugby Premiership and taking my daughter and her fiancé to their local game. Looks like a good selection of cars at a great venue.

Just three weeks after Sportscars in the Park at Newby Hall there is Italian Cars and Motorcycles at the same venue. This one is smaller, being only Italians, and usually without the queues that SCITP draws. It seems odd that there would be two events in the same month, but it's what we get up...

She's 19? Where did the time go? I'm feeling even older now!

The parking plan is out. It looks as though they've split the Ferrari and Maserati out from the main Italian grouping, don't want them stuck away in a corner. I'm in A4 - 1, which looks to be a good spot. Where are you all?

All of the tickets are sold now. We should get a parking plan before the weekend. I'll be there with the FOCers, it would be good if they've put the Italian marques together. I'm coming from the north so will probably meet you there. I'm aiming for around 10 am.

Same for me. If it’s not raining we’ll head over. Where will we be meeting to convoy in?

Thinking about it. It's an early start but the company and racing are fun. That's unless they park me off with the red trousers again.

I ran both my Ghibli (50k miles in 3 years) and Levante as daily cars. The tyre and fuel bills did bite a little but it made every journey a pleasure and put a smile on my face. There was nothing better than finishing in the office and knowing that I had an hour of Maserati fun on the way home...

I'm thinking of doing this if the weather improves at all. I've never been to Burghley House so it does seem like a good excuse for a visit.

On balance I'm leaning towards Sports Cars In The Park.

Likewise. Not sure which yet which is why I thought I'd post here. SCITP is closer, but I've not been to Carlton Towers.

Auto Italia have a new event at Carlton Towers on the 24th September. Ticket details are here. Not sure about this one myself, it's the same day as the Autumn SCITP at Newby Hall, costs more, and from the terms and conditions you can't take any food/drink on site. It's different venue so might...

You'd be hard pressed to get one without lots of carbon specced on it. As was discussed in an earlier thread, right or wrong, this is the way that Ferrari operate their order book. I'd love an 812 as well, a real weapon of a car, but I'm so far away from being able to buy one, never mind run...
