Have we got any more details on the event yet?

are we supposed to be submitting a cost of build to anyone or anything or is it being done on the day this time?

Where is the handling course taking place this year? every show at santa pod this year i have been to has seen the handling course on the monster truck area and its tiny and useless

What time does the event start? whats the layout?????

its only 2 weeks away now and i need to start planning strategy :lol:

Isn't there some stuff about it on the main page?

Didn't you have to submit a whole load of stuff when you booked your place?

Due to staff shufflings, things are a bit behind. Expect things to get moving soon!

If we're camping on tarmac, I'll take the hammer drill. Don't want the tent to post a quicker time down the strip.

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
