Just wondering what peoples opinions are on the french car show. I myself found the show really good with good track action, plenty to do and the weather was awesome, rtoc stand wasn't great but i enjoyed the company of friend's and having a chat with the other r5 owners. It was a shame for the dusty area with regards to some of the concourse spec cars getting covered in dust. Was good to see the R5 spares breaker with his parts for sale. The whole hype towards the 205/405 t16 which was pushed towards the 205 gti drivers boards was a bit of a let down with only one t16 in attendance, but it was still good to see the one.
For people interested in how the situation of mine and dikkies fcs tickets not showing up went.. well.. Upon arriving at the show we parked in public parking and went to the tickets office with receipts of our ticket orders and proof of identity. We were told we needed to speak to the guys in the information office to sort out this , however the information office was based within the grounds and therefore we would need to pay again to enter the grounds and then take up the situation with the guys in the ticket office to get a refund. After asking to be escorted into the grounds to sort out the situation and refused we reluctantly paid again for the tickets we had already ordered and went to the information office. We found mark (fcs organiser) who once told the situation told us he would not refund the ticket cost and that he would instead chase royal mail first claim the cash off them , and send us a cheque in the post. After around another 10/15 mins of arguing due to the fact we were both out of pocket now by £30 (also bearing in mind everything had to be paid in cash as there was not bank card facilities) he eventually gave us both a cash refund for the tickets we purchased at the gate. all in all we got the cash back which was the main thing, however it really should not be so difficult and in future i would advise everyone to simply pay on the gate and avoid all the agro we had to go through..
So will i go again.. yes
Only ill simply pay on the gate, if it means public parking or not.
