Bocconnoc Motorsport Festival

[Andy44Boz]

Hello peeps,

On July 28th South Hams motor club are holding their second Motorsport Festival at Boconnoc Estate near Liskeard, Cornwall. After last years 'pilot' event, this year should be bigger and better, with a more comprehensive static show, as well as the stage rally event, and better access to the venue.

I've been asked to muster a few cars for the display, hopefully enough to fly the OSF banner if anyone else is free. Exhibitors get free entry, only passengers have to pay.

I've also pointed out the entry issue from last year, and if we can be there before the stages go live, we can use the main entrance to get in, or even camp the night before!!

I'd like to go but there's no way I'm taking my van down that 3/4 mile single track gravel trap they expected cars to use in both directions last year. The pits in it grounded me several times and I met things going the other way (with no passing places) several times.

I did state that to them last time, so we can use the main gate up to when the stages go live sunday morning. Spectator logistics was a problem allround last year  , so I think they will address it for this year.  Another option is to get there sat night??

I will announce times when I find out myself.

Oh bugger! Just seems to be so many events in July these days, Powderham clashes with the Wadebridge wheels show!

one of the worst shows of the year, i live in paignton and don't go

bocconnoc day was spot on, but that dirt track wants sorting

I've found another Westcountry Motorsport type event that might be worth a look, £5 per car (with two people) for both days

I've been told we can get in the main gate right up to when the stages go live on Sunday morning, or there's the option of camping on the sat eve, last year the sponsors put on a cracking hog roast the night before!

I told the organisers of the problems we in particular had, and I think many of the spectators said the same, so the organisers were trying to address this issue.
