    You'll need to fit a cow catcher to the front to get through all the numbnuts out on track if last year was anything to go by

    There are a few slots for clubs but most of the time is allocated 20 min sessions .RTOC did not attend officially last year .I booked a block of 6 sessions split over the day and it was pot luck who was out there with you .
    Some had obviously never been on track before and others were to bloody ignorant to care less if you wanted past ......
    It also got very congested with all the roller skates three/four abreast towards the end of the day

    Yes, and it must be a serious contender for the biggest FAIL in the history of the RTOC!

    Last years " Show " was more just a car park full of various tribes ..... There was very little there that I would call a show .
    It took me about 5 mins to see all there was to see unless I wanted to look at the club stands ,and after you've seen one 07 plate clio you've seen them all .
    There were a few traders and a couple of feature stands but that was it .

    Yea, he mentioned where he was, I said I knew Mark had his manifold done by him and that he'd done a few downpipes for the club

    His missus gave me a flyer and walked off around the floor...I went to see if they had a stand at the show so I could chat to him in person about what I plan to have done...so I stalked his wife and got her to phone him

    Looking forward to him working his magic

    i found the fcs was ok over the years but has gratually gone down hill over the last few years, as many of you say it has turned out as a car park full of clubs with the same old traders with little or nothing to sell, track time was poor and a scrabble to get places

    I prefered it when it was at Brunters, just seemed a whole lot better than now.

    I'll still be going though, just for the drinking session and antics the night before in the hotel

    Hey Mark, do you remember the aids song from last year?

    French Car Show 13th June - A Month to go !

    Only a month until the UK’s largest gathering of Renault, Peugeot and Citroen Cars.
    Rockingham, Northants, NN17 5AF

    There are about ten cars booked in stated RTOC in club field on the shop. Quite a few taking track time.

    Tickets

    £12.95 each with £2.50 P&P for your entire order (free self cling FCS 10 graphic)
    £19.99 track access (down to £16.50 when booking 6) www.frenchcarshow.co.uk/shop

    Live Arena (main and arena two)

    This year we have the worlds No.1 stunt driver Terry Grant who is renowned for an awesome show. And when he isn’t performing you will find UKFMX in arena 2. The rest of the day the main arena pays host to the UK’s top tuners in our market showing their creations and products. All hosted by TV’s Danielle Christie.

    Trade Area

    This year loads of top names have booked up and are crammed into the trade area that wraps around the main arena which is all sandwiched between the clubs. We have 40+ top names booked in so look out for the list being published soon.

    Club Arena

    If you are in a club and select your club from the pick list on the ticket page at www.frenchcarshow.co.uk/shop you will be get a club parking pass so your car is on display. Everyone is welcome and you don’t need a show car. It’s more of a social gathering.

    Meguiars Top 25

    This year we have three categories’ from standard, track to modified so EVERYONE can enter as all types are featured. It’s not all about big budgets and fibre glass!

    Adrian Flux Lounge

    Everyone is welcome into the awesome Flux indoor lounge for FREE, its crammed full of freebies and games with cash prizes on offer. You can grab an insurance quote when in there but no pressure.

    Magazine Stand

    Performance French Cars Magazine will have a stand with some previous feature cars. PFC Magazine Sub special can be ordered online at www.performancefrenchcars.co.uk for £9.99.

    all camping is happening at Billing Aquadrome and people are booking direct.

    You will be able to get a stand pass from the ticket kiosk for people who have come last minute.

    We have over 10 RTOC cars booked in.
