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 water cooled VW events of the year. Now, we have a busy 'calendar'. The 2011 GTI Festival is moving its date to the end of that busy calendar, to establish a 'Final Fling' season finale, before the time comes to put cars away for the close season, or pull them apart for mods or winter rebuilds.
The GTI Festival - 'Season Finale' is for enthusiasts of all VAG marques, SEAT, Skoda, Audi and of course Volkswagen. Now the Volkswagen Group includes Lamborghini, Bentley and Bugatti too, but the closest we will probably come to seeing any of those will be Bentley rims shoehorned under late Golf arches!
The GTI 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 in 2010, the clubs area is now easily able to accommodate 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 get in early! To book club displays call 01279 725252 or email: [email protected].
SHOW & SHINE
The GTI Festival Show & Shine has a massive number of awards including Best Audi, Best Skoda, Best SEAT, and Best VW, Best Engineering, Best Paint, Best Engine, Best Van and many more. There are also 'top twenty' trophies open to all marques. Full details are available via the GTI Festival website 'Show & Shine' link.
THE SANTA POD QUARTER MILE DRAGSTRIP
Only VAG vehicles are permitted on the hallowed Santa Pod quarter-mile at the GTI Festival, and as pioneered by NAS Events, your signing on fee is for the entire day, not just one or two runs. Awards on the track include quickest VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda, as well as a number of awards based on engine sizes. At Santa Pod, you are driving on a superb purpose built surface, and using world record standard calibrated timing. The Santa Pod marshalls and safety teams are the most practiced and efficient staff in Europe. Basically, you are getting the absolute best available when you sprint at the GTI Festival or GTI Spring Festival.
TRADERS & AUTOJUMBLE
Along with SPRINGfest, the GTI Festival is planned to be the very best one day show of its kind, and every effort is made to bring you a good selection of appropriate traders. We are also encouraging traders to attend by offering trade plot prices which are lower than any other show. Any companies using promotion staff/models are especially welcome, and we can arrange for multi show winning cars to visit your stand for public 'photoshoots'. Again, please call 01279 725252 or email: [email protected]. The GTI Festival Autojumble is - unlike many shows - absolutely free to show visitors wishing to sell their (private, not trade) VAG bits. All you need do is locate the huge autojumble area, and set out your wares. Spaces are on a first come, first served basis, until the entire area is full. And as it is now becoming difficult to locate certain parts for older watercooled models, it's well worth visiting to browse or buy, even if you are not planning to be selling at the show. Traders should book a trade plot.
DIZZY RASCALS
Racing with a difference... and it's free!
And they said drag racers don't do bends. Introduced in 2010, and free to take part, is the totally insane 'Dizzy Rascals' course. A course which is a combination of 'double roundabouts, straights and chicanes, and which was such a runaway success last July. It was all a bit bonkers, a bit 'anarchic', but lots of fun for contestants and spectators alike. The course is very suited to short wheelbase front wheel cars, but 2010 saw everything from Lupos to Transporters having a go at driving the day's fastest lap, for which a trophy was awarded. There was a constant line of participants, the squeal of tyres, and the crowded spectator area. One car on the track at a time, against the clock, with awards for the fastest boyz and girlz! It's a completely untried combination of sprint and autotest, it's free, and you just have to give it a go!
GIRLZ N DUBZ
Girlz N Dubz features the coolest cars and the hottest owners! Girlz N Dubs kicked off at the 'VAGfest' GTi Festival in July 2010, and was an immediate success. It's worth noting straight away that all cars entered into the Girlz N Dubz competition are automatically included in the main Show & Shine, and will be judged alongside the regular Show & Shine, in addition to being considered for the many Girlz N Dubz trophies. We expect the Girlz N Dubz display to grow and grow, and after a good start last year, we are confident that the competition will be strong and the number of contestants will grow each year. If you are interested in entering, simply talk to a marshall and enter on the day. Entry is free, and open to all female owners of VAG cars.
GTI FESTIVAL - THE ONE DAY FESTIVAL FOR ALL VAG CARS!
* RWYB/SPRINTS extra signing on fee (£25 for full day/unlimited runs) and driving licence required.
