The Supercar Event - In Aid of The Children's Trust Charity

I attended this event last year and it was brilliant. Cars & sunshine. Perfect.

BUT... With a wider variety of cars to watch on track, the sound of the sirens from the Surrey Police & Fire Service display stands, to the stunning display of Lamborghini's from Lamborghini Club UK, and the echo of Sporting Bears blasting around the outskirts of the track & nearby roads... This year, The Supercar Event had upped their game!

It was split over a 2 day weekend but I must say, Sunday was brilliant. The number of cars was incredible along with the superb weather (unlike Saturday with it's wash out!)

Joe Macari provided their LaFerrari for the start of the day on Saturday, working through plenty of petrol but providing plenty of smiles.

The variety of Lamborghini's that appeared on the LCUK stand over the 2 days was brilliant. From a Banana Yellow Diablo SV all the way through to the latest Lambo, the Huracan. They displayed some real beauties!

I unfortunately got no images of the Sporting Bears cars (apart from a beautiful Orange Performante) as those guys just don't stop!!! They were just producing ride after ride for people. Incredible guys!

There was plenty of stalls for people to enjoy too, but I think everyone was focused on the cars!

Here's a few images and a link to the full album -

Supercar Siege 2015

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!!
