Post up if you'd be interested in attending this event and I can organise a GTIROC Club Stand




Historic Gold Cup
Oulton Park (International)
Saturday 27 - Monday 29 August 2016

Oulton Park's signature historic event returns on its traditional August Bank Holiday weekend date this year, with an astonishing line-up of racing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Historic Sports Car Club. This year's programme includes everything from '60s Grand Prix cars, to powerful '70s single-seaters, and stunning '90s touring cars.

The Historic Grand Prix Car Association will recreate the era in which the Gold Cup was inaugurated as a non-championship race for F1 cars, with a beautiful gird of classically-modelled machines from manufacturers such as Lotus, Cooper, and Brabham.

The Super Touring Car Trophy will be the other star attraction, recreating the fierce British Touring Car Championship battles of the '90s, with period stars John Cleland and Patrick Watts set to appear. Cars competing will include BMWs, Alfa Romeos, Vauxhalls, Fords, and many more from the BTCC's most exciting era.

Other race highlights will include Historic Touring Cars, with a full grid of Lotus Cortinas and Mini Coopers, and the Derek Bell Trophy for '70s F5000 single-seaters.

Away from the circuit there will be massive classic car displays, action on the rally stage, air and military displays and plenty of nostalgic attractions for all the family.

Gold Cup is probably a good one if people are close enough. - I'd certainly be keen to try to be ready for it.

@Andy, quite tempted with the Gold Cup, I've still not been yet and I enjoyed the Silverstone classic last year.

If people are more interested in attending the Gold Cup at Oulton Park than Silverstone Classic i can offer that as a GTIROC Club Stand

Classic Car Displays

CLASSIC AND VINTAGE CAR DISPLAYS

More than 1,000 vehicles will be displayed at the Oulton Park Gold Cup this August Bank Holiday Sunday and Monday (30-31) when a record 59 car clubs, plus countless unaffiliated enthusiasts, fill the venue.

A rich cross-section of motoring history will be on display, with everything from evocative Italian machines supplied by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club North West, to modern classics such as the Honda S2000 and Mazda MX-5 appearing.

The Gold Cup’s racing line-up includes the Jaguar Heritage Challenge for the first time this year, and the Coventry marque’s non-competitive heritage will be celebrated too by no fewer than four separate car clubs. The Jaguar Enthusiats Club North Wales, Jaguar Enthusiasts Club Cheshire Region, Jaguar Drivers Club, and Jaguar XK Car Club will all be in attendance, bringing with a glamorous selection, ranging from the classically-modelled E-Type to its most modern brute – the F-Type.

Other clubs to look out for include the GT40 Enthusiasts Club, allowing visitors to take a closer look at one of the most iconic sports-racing cars of all time, plus the Morgan Sports Car Club, Jensen Owners Club, and MG Car Club, all of which represent the best of British.

I'd be interested in that Andy, however if more folk wanted to go to Silverstone classics I'd go to that instead, I'd rather a smaller number of bigger groups of cars so we can all talk shit etc

Would people rather to attend:

Silverstone Classic
Gold Cup (Oulton Park)
or Both


Me: Gold Cup as it closer to me, cheaper and a little more intimate rather than a massive show!

I quite liked Silverstone Classic, but if we got a better turn-out for Gold Cup maybe that would be a better choice... plus it's closer to me too, so no hotel/camping costs.

I'm going to kick start this again as I've had some info about the event for this year.

Would people still want to attend this over or including the Silverstone Classic?

I am definitely going to be at this one. I will be camping with the family and the wife will have her car out with the MX5OC.

That's cool! :thumbsup:

Looking at the feedback regards the two events (Silverstone Classic) I think this is going to be the most popular!

I'm still waiting for Oulton Park to update their 2016 Gold Cup details, but once that's done I'll let everyone know and get the info sorted!

---------------------

This is a great value for the weekend and provides 70% of what the Silverstone Classic offers at their event (barring all the marketing and price)

I've send off a request for a club stand, so lets try and organise a decent number of car!

If anyone has any questions, just let me know!
