PPC in the Park 09

[Kate Miller]

Saturday May 23 2009 Mallory Park
Practical Performance Car magazine

PPC in the Park is Europe’s most exciting new event for car enthusiasts. No other show combines non-stop live action on the track, some of the most amazing cars ever built on display in the paddock, and the chance to see PPC’s very own 27-litre V12 Rover and turbocharged Rolls Royce track-day car in action.

You can become part of the action by booking track time for you and your car at just £12.50 per session (booked in advance). You can also watch the PPC £999 Challenge contestants battling it out to become the 2009 champion in the fastest car you can build for less than £1000.

Slightly more expensive is the Dodge Dakota jet-powered truck which will be firing up its monster engine with afterburner. Then there’s PPC feature cars, the PPC team and their cars (including editor Will Holman’s 5-litre V8 Capri). And PPC’s technical guru, Dave Walker, will be holding a live Walker’s Workshop demonstration.

To top it all we’ll be having a few shandys in the evening with a marquee and bar from the Ace Cafe - so bring your tent because camping’s completely free. PPC in the Park is 2009’s must-attend event.

Just googled this for location, http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en ... iwloc=addr

Sounds like a laugh tbh...

[Mitus]

Me and a couple of mates should be going, meant to post it up here actually. Got to see that SD1 in the flesh!

[stefaclese]

Think I might have to go to this, falls nicely immediately after all my exams

[ttrw2]

I've booked 3 track sessions plus plan to stay for the evening.

I've met the guys that run the mag (plus read the mag fairly regularly) and have to say it'll probably be a good laugh based on their usual trackdays/events.

They seem to be advertising on every forum on under the sun, though, adding the possiblity of the chav element being present.

[Din]

Im going to have a nice tent by then too think im gonna go

[MarkCoupe]

Sounds like a laugh, so count me in. Car's hardly a minter though so hide me at the back somewhere

I'm going with a big group of mates all with different track cars - if anyone wants a track sess then let me know as we have loads between us and there's no way we'll use them all. Think we only paid £12.50 per sess for all of ours so we'll pass on for the same.

[Cableguy]

[Beaker]

I will be on the Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club stand. Weather looks to be good. Heading down tomorrow night for camping.

Some pics from the event - no apologies given for being Rover biased!

If anyone wants pics of anything specific there then ask as I had almost 2Gb of photos from the event!

[Cableguy]

Bah, no pics of my car

[ttrw2]

No pics of any cars on the stand really...

Dan you have a smart looking camera - did you get any pics?

Have to say, it's the first time I've been up close to a cabriolet and although I think they look (just IMO!) Nick's was super quick round the track and looked very composed on the high speed corners. Karl looked like he was having fun too.

[E_T_V]

Sorry I didn't take many pics of the cars whilst they were on the stand. I got a little bit of video though somewhere I think when I download it. I guess I got distracted by the cars on the track!
