Apex Festival May 10th to 11th 2014. Prices, details…Lets get booking!!! (Last date for Online Advance Tickets May 2nd)

Introduction

The Apex festival organisers are proud to present a family friendly festival, with a motorsport, classic and retro car twist!
Club GTI has been invited to attend and participate in running a show and go event.

The event is located at the Lydden Hill Race Circuit in Dover, where you can see all of the action from pretty much anywhere – a unique selling point for this venue.
As the event is just 10 mins from the Dover International Tunnel and Ferry Ports, it attracts many Clubs and Enthusiasts from mainland Europe, who have cruised over to come and join in the fun of the UK Festival Scene.
The Apex festival tend to be a host, to a large Aircooled and Watercooled VW scene but this has rapidly spread to a broad range of Retro and Race machinery of all different marques and styles – but with one common thread – the desire to have fun out on the track and join in with likeminded people. The atmosphere in the show grounds and camping areas are laid back, with people and families relaxing with their friends, new and old, whilst being entertained by the on track antics which are in stark contrast to the laid back surroundings.

Show ‘n Shine and Show n’ Go Details:
Any ClubGTi Member or invited guest can join in the main Apex Festival Show n Shine competition – it’s FREE to enter and you just have to make your way to the main show grounds at 08:30 on Saturday or Sunday.

However we also have limited spaces to enter our ClubGTi hosted Show n Go Challenge.. this will be a fun feature comprising of a display of the Show n’ Go entrants in the heart of the paddock, and a includes a sprint style track session which comprise of a warm up lap, flying lap and outlap to the exit. (Officially this is not a timed event so list of the top 10 will be sent via email as per Curby.) The ‘Show’ side of the challenge will be judged by a public vote! – you can’t get a more independent view point than that! and the ‘Go’ side will be a reflection of how you/your car performed on the flying lap part of the challenge.

Please get in touch ASAP if you would like to participate as we have capacity of 12-15 entrant cars on each day. (To help us plan, could you let us know which days you would be able to potentially enter, and which day you would prefer)
Entry for the Show n’ Go competition is £15 per entrant on each day.

Here’s a little teaser video about the Club GTi Show n Go:

Other useful info:
• Trackday Sign-on will commence at 9am on both Saturday and Sunday
• The nearest petrol station is approx 10mins away – so might be best to bring a 20ltr Jerry Can
• There are no Cash Machine facilities on site (Although Apex did mention that you could use your credit card / debit card on their stand to obtain some Cash – if you cover the card transaction fees)
• There is a limited supply of Helmets available to borrow for FREE (A £50 deposit will be required and refunded on the return of the borrowed helmet)
• You can have passengers in your car – they will need to ‘Sign on’ and receive a wristband to ride shotgun with you.
• You can offer your passenger seat to a member of the public that wants a passenger ride, you will collect a taxi-ride pass from the passenger and you’ll get £5 back from the organisers for each one you hand in! (Passenger rides have to be a minimum of 3 laps – so you could pull back in and do a quick swap for a second passenger if they are available!)

Here is a list of those who plan to attend.
