Japfest 2 - 26th June - Rockingham

Post by Scott Barton »

Club stand will be arranged if enough interest. Possible collaboration with OC/TwoBrutal.

Facebook event created here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1534133573558836/

Japfest 2 is back at Rockingham on Sunday, June 26, 2106 for a whole day of performance Japanese action. Experience non-stop high speed track action including tyre-shredding drifting displays, a huge retail village and thousands of UK’s best Japanese cars on display.
As always, drifting will be at the heart of the show with spectacular displays and demos, drift passenger rides, and a massive drift paddock off the circuit. Japfest 2 will also see a Pro Round from The Maxxis British Drift Championship. With only the Super Pro drivers competing you can expect to see the very best of the country’s talent with the drivers pulling out all the stops to impress the judges to secure a win.
If the drift action isn’t enough to satisfy your appetite, there will be a full timetable of live entertainment taking place off the track including stunt shows and a huge display of club cars representing the UK’s major Japanese scene. Not forgetting all the usual features you would expect to see including public track time, show and shine, trade stands and much more. Japfest 2 is a true celebration of performance Japanese motors!

Can't see anything over on the OC about it. I'd like to go. Can't really commit to organising though as I'll be away on the Le Mans trip in the run up to it.

Chris has started a thread over on the OC to generate interest. Need confirmed numbers for this as we only have 9 more days to secure a club stand.
I can't go myself as I am travelling previous day but happy to secure and arrange on behalf of everyone.
Confirmed names below please! 👍🏻

Its not looking realistic we have enough cars from all the clubs or interest to arrange a stand.

Wasnt bad last year, thought we had about 20 cars or so? You in public parking because your MR2 is off the road? I still have a spare ticket if you want it as I definitely won`t make it. Car is up at SBits just dropped it off for a shed load of work.
