PPC in the Park 2013 Update

ppc_in_the_park__sponsor_2013We've had some good news at PPC this week as we've agreed to work closely with the 750MC this summer. It's a match made in heaven (well Corby actually) because we like grass roots motor sport and the 750MC do it rather well. To kick things off the 750MC are coming along to PPC in the Park on May 18 at Mallory to show us just what a diverse range of cars compete in their series. And PPC Feature Editor James Winstanley is going to build a BMW E36 Compact 3-Series race car in a day and then enter it into their Marangoni/Gaz Shocks Compact Cup Championship. There's much more planned for later in the season and we'll keep you updated here.

PPC in the Park 2013 track time has now SOLD OUT (2nd May). Any queries regarding track time please contact Kate 07933 704270 / This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . This year’s show is going to be the biggest year yet, we have many more club associations and attractions for you to see on the day. If you missed out on track time then you have the opportunity for passenger rides with Mission Motorsport, Dan Welch the BTCC driver and Locost owners club. Pop along to the PPC stand on the day to book a slot. In the meantime get your entry ticket booked for a £5 discount and a free t-shirt.

Come and say hello at Autosport

It's crept up on us but it's Autosport time again and we'll be there with a keg of beer for PPC subscribers. All you've got to do is come along to the stand wearing a PPC T-shirt and you'll receive a free pint. Now that's what I call a cheap pint.

We're on our usual plot (stand 6865) so if you want to talk about cars, life or just need your swearing brushing up do pop over. PPC's Mark Hammersley's amazing take on the Nissan Delta car (okay it began life as a Reliant Robin) will be on the stand along with the white bewinged Escort cover car from the Dec 2012 issue.

We'll have some great subscription offers including tools, T-shirts and hoodies with our new design and a decent selection of back issues. See you there.
