Now I saw this event advertised by Mulgari Automotive, who were sponsors
of the event. The other thing that caught my eye about this event was
the charity, The Royal Navy and Royal Marines
Children's Fund - I come from a military family so any way in which we
can donate to any supportive charity, I'm game.
I arrived incredibly early BUT it was so worth it to see a LaFerrari in my rear view mirror as I entered the gates of Leeds Castle (which isn't in Leeds... It's in Kent) I lead a convoy of a LaFerrari & a 458, with Ross one of the organisers in front of me.

As we passed through the windy tree covered entrance
road we approached a massive Royal Navy helicopter along side a Pagani
Zonda F and a Koenigsegg Agera N.
It was such a beautiful setting and although I was
there incredibly early, I was quite glad I was. I had these incredible
cars essentially all to myself for pics! No people walking past! No
battles for angles with other photographers! It was lovely... albeit
cold.
The minute the gates open to all the cars, all hell broke loose!! We had American hot rods, supercar classics, supercars, modified car clubs, japanese cars by the dozen... it was amazing!

The mayhem didn't stop with just the cars coming in to
set up! People heard just how good the event was once the gates opened
and flocked to the castle... and caused major traffic all down the
motorway!
The Sporting Bears were there doing passenger rides for donations and they SOLD OUT! Owners took out their pride and joys in the blazing sun putting smiles on peoples faces over a 10 mile track.
Anyway it was an incredibly hot day with a great atmosphere, fantastic cars and beautiful scenery. The event raised over £30,000 if I'm not mistaken, which is just amazing!!
Here's a few more pics and if you want to view all of the, - here's the link - https://www.flickr.com/photos/jkingman/sets/72157653085373876
