Ten of the Best - 27th July

One huge advantage of having family living right next door to an old airfield is being able to sneak on to see events for free! Today we managed to dodge the £20 gate fee to have a look round the Ten of The Best show. Some of the cars there were pretty awesome!


Ten of the Best is a performance road car event, aimed at finding the best all round car in Europe. Handling, top speed, and the 1/4 mile drag strip are used to determine the results. Check out http://www.totb.co.uk/home/ for more information about it and to take a look at the results and the galleries.

Rick does some work for one of the exhibitors at the show, RE Motorsport. The RE Motorsport stand was designed by Rick and the car stickers were created by Rick too. One of RE Motorsports customers, Simon Walker, has the Lotus Exige in the picture and he took part in the event. It turns out that Simon is actually a tenant at the place where I work. Small world!

There were some amazing cars competing, on show, and in and around the car park. What with the glorious sunshine too it was a fantastic event with lots of noise, burnout smells and fast action.
