Big Bang VW festival in conjunction with Volksworld Camper and Bus magazine is the first and friendliest VW festival on the calendar. Despite high-octane racing and two music arenas, the festival remains as laid-back and family friendly as ever. All Vee Dubs are welcome!

Three days of VW fun in the sun with great racing, music and entertainment at the home of European Drag Racing! All Beetles and buses, campers and Caddies, Golfs and Ghias are welcome at the show to enjoy the Run What Ya Brung (RWYB), show & shine, Drag Racing, or simply filling the camp sites with VWs and chilling out.

VW ONLY Run What Ya Brung
Take your own VW down the strip on Saturday! Learn the basics of Drag Racing, beat your mates and test your car in a safe and legal environment. All drivers must bring a valid driving licence to sign on.

Drag Racing
Things get serious on the dragstrip on Sunday with championship drag racing from the VWDRC classes of VW Pro and VW Sportsman plus the hot rods of Super Modified, and Outlaw Anglia, along with 8.50 Bike, 9.50 Bike, Sportsman ET, Junior Dragster and Junior Drag Bike.

Show & Shine Competition (Sunday)
Got an awesome custom car, rare original or restored stunner? Whatever species of VW it is, if it looks cool, get it into the Show and Shine on Sunday. It’s free to enter and you’ll be sure to have a crowd. (VWs only – NO VAG – sorry!)

Over the years, from the very first GTI Festival events in the late 1980s, the shows have attracted hordes of Volkswagen enthusiasts to several different venues around the UK. The GTI Festival and ‘Inters’ were for a decade or more, just about the only specialist watercooled VW events of the year. Now, we have a busy show calendar.

The GTI Spring Festival is now established as the real ‘season opener’, and THE one day show for all enthusiasts of all VAG marques, SEAT, Skoda, Audi and of course Volkswagen. And now the Volkswagen Group includes Lamborghini, Bentley and Bugatti too! The GTI Spring Festival, is a show where all VAG vehicles are welcome with open arms. All clubs are invited to display during the day, and after a very well received revamp of the show layout, the clubs area is now able to accommodate in excess of the 40 clubs who regularly attend the event. If you want your club to be part of the show, you need to act fast. The earliest club bookings get pride of place, and we expect to see a huge number of clubs and registers represented, so please get in early! To book club displays please call 01279 725252 or email: [email protected]

RARE PROTOTYPES ON DISPLAY
I am very pleased to announce two of the most important cars in the history of Volkswagen and Porsche will be on display. The cars in question are the two oldest VWs in private ownership. The VW 38 prototype is one of the very first VW Beetles built, and dates from 1938, while the KdF-Wagen Type 60 K10 Rekordwagen is a sports car based on the VW38 and the car that first started the transition from Volkswagen to Porsche. This is the first and probably only time they will be displayed in the UK together so make sure you don’t miss out.
