Japfest, Silverstone 2018

[Erni902]

Right guys, I know we haven't even gotten through Christmas yet but the majority of the dates of next years events have now been confirmed and announced. This year we had a few people attend a few events but we would really like a few more attendees. To that end lets give CVR4 a decent turnout in 2018! You have no excuse not to get these dates booked off with work or the missus, my job is not well known for its flexibility but even I have managed to book off the dates for this event!!

The event in question is none other than Japfest taking place at Silverstone circuit for the 3rd year running.

This event will take place on 6th May 2018 and there are many reasons to attend:

Do you need a part for your Japanese car (Whether it be a VR-4 or not)? Chances are you will find it within the Japfest Retail Village!

After a record-breaking show in 2016 and 2017 with more stalls and products than ever before the Japfest Retail Village returns for 2018. Sandwiched between the track action and 1000’s of club cars, the Retail Village is packed with everything and anything you could need for your car, from throttle bodies to wheels and camshafts to coil overs and everything in between!

In the Retail Village you'll also find some of the leading names from the automotive industry showcasing their latest products and offering advice on your project, as well as exclusive discounts that are simply too good to miss!

After another record-breaking year in 2017 with more club car displays than ever before, expect to see another jam-packed display at the 2018 Japfest!

Japanese machinery from across the globe will amass in the club display areas and the show will be packed full with the finest Japanese cars, from pristine classics, modified monster show cars, track cars and rare marques. Make sure you save plenty of time to wander round the massive and diverse range of cars on display including R35 GTR’s, 370Z’s, Evo’s and Civic Type R’s to name just a few!

The Show & Shine competition brings together the best examples of the UK Japanese scene. Whether it’s an impeccably-detailed rebuild, a quarter-mile demon, a highly-tuned track weapon or a pristine restoration you’re guaranteed to be impressed.

The track timetable is full of public and club track sessions for visitors to take part in throughout the day.

This is your chance to take to the famous asphalt of Silverstone National Circuit, the home of British Motorsport and take your own car out on track in their 'Jap Only' sessions. We have sessions to suit all abilities, so anyone can get out on the tarmac.

See the below official Japfest 2017 video for a visualisation on the above:



I shall be attending this event possibly for the weekend and camping over. Hopefully I will be bringing both the 350Z and the VR4. So who else is interested? Would be good to see a decent turnout from CVR4 as in recent years the numbers have been very small. People have no idea what our cars are and what they are capable of so lets give everyone something to talk about!!

Tickets are not yet available but I expect they will be very soon after Christmas, so get that leave/holiday booked and make an appearance, if there are enough of us that register interest early on then we can justify a club area and this will give the VR-4's the exposure that they deserve, there are some stunning motors on this forum so don't keep them to yourselves!
