Whilst
the Festival of Motoring has previously been held over one day at Coventry’s
War Memorial Park, the move to a two-day event at Stoneleigh means that the
2012 Festival is shaping up to be the biggest and best yet.
What’s On
There
will be lots going on across both days of the Festival, and because you will be
away from the park enjoying the Historic Vehicle run for much of Sunday, we
have designed the Saturday activities with you, the enthusiast in mind. Full timetables will be here nearer the time, and you will be sent details of how to enter
participant-only activities including the Concours and WheelSkills competitions,
when we have processed your entry form.
If you are taking part in the run on Sunday we are also very keen for you to bring your vehicle to display at Stoneleigh during the day on Saturday.
The Saturday Evening Dinner
Round off a
fabulous day of motoring in style, by joining us at Stoneleigh for a delicious three course dinner
with guest speaker Ian Callum. During
his time as Design Director at Jaguar Cars, Ian has led on design for the XK,
XF and the stunning C-X75 concept and production vehicles.He came to Jaguar via Ford and TWR, where he
designed the Aston Martin DB7 and Vanquish models – and we are delighted that
he has agreed to give a fascinating talk at this very special event.
Tickets for the Dinner are £30 per
person and are limited, therefore they must be booked in advance.
The Historic Vehicle Run
The flagship
Historic Vehicle Run remains the integral element of the Coventry Festival of
Motoring, but we have listened to your feedback and this year participants will
enjoy an all-new route through the
stunning South Warwickshire countryside, starting and finishing at the
picturesque Stoneleigh Park. Entry into the Run costs £20 per car or £10
per motorbike – see below for how to book.
Weekend Packages
With
plenty to get involved in throughout both days of the festival, you can make a
weekend of it by taking advantage of a range of on-site accommodation options
at Stoneleigh – this way you can enjoy a leisurely breakfast before setting off
on the Historic Vehicle Run on Sunday morning.
