And a few more that we've not had time to update. Vauxhall Motors are entering a factory backed team with one of their current BTCC drivers providing the driving skills, Caterham have partnered with last years winner, Track and Race Car in one of their new CSV's, and almost all of last years competitors have upped the game and are entering this year.

The unique aspect of the event is how the competitors are able to give passenger rides to potential customer to show what the cars can do out on circuit - a great sales tool and great fun for the customers at the same time. Milltek Sport as title sponsors will again be out in force showing off their range of sports exhausts for the whole tuning industry and giving passenger rides in their Audi RS4 and other vehicles.

Last years event went right down to the final lap with the Westfield fighting it out with the Elises for top honours so we're expecting a similar fight this year. The new class structure based on vehicle type does mean that every class is going to be close run competition so all day we expect close run racing.

The trade village has taken a different turn this year with a more technical nature developing, we have trade stands from KW Suspension, Perfect Bore pistons and engine internals along with sponsorship from at least two of the UK's largest ECU specialists.

The move of the event to Snetterton means the dedicated car club parking is now central to the action right in the middle of the circuit on flat level ground so all the car clubs can park up together but still see all the action. Most of the UK's largest car clubs seem to be represented with a lot of them making a week end of it.
We're still getting entries every day with a lot of competitors leaving the car choice they enter to the last minute so expect more updates in the coming days. This years event is looking to beat even last years for fun!
