BHP Performance Show 2013 - Lydden Hill
 

Very belated on this one, but there has been loads on the last month and not enough time to sort through photos!

Last month was the BHP Performance Show at Lydden Hill. Never been before, but decided to give it a go based on a recommendation from bandit. Glad I did as it was a really good day out with a hugely eclectic mix of cars both on and off track.

Here are a few of my faves from the day…

All tastes catered for in the track sessions…

…even the two wheelers got a track session as well:

Happened to spot an RS200 in the paddock, thought it would be rude not to take a picture (or two)…

There truly was something there for everyone. Definitely an event marked onto my list for a repeat visit in the future!

Fantastic pics mate. nice variety of cars there.

That monster RS200 looks awesome! Bet it shifts. Cracking photo's mate may have to mark in on my calendar for next year also.

Excellent photos as ever sir, It looks like a brilliant day out.

Cheers! Yeah, was all sorts out on track and parked up, so plenty to look at.

Sadly it wasn't running on the day as it massively exceeds the track noise limits. Its just been rebuilt (again), has got a new sequential transmission and will be heading for Pikes Peak soon...

Would definately recommend it, wasn't that expensive to get in either: even better! :D

Great photos m8 as normal

Quality pictures as always :10:

Do like the white arched MK1 Escort :doubleup:

:10: :doubleup:

Wanted to go to this but my car wasnt ready..

Really good pictures fella looked a great day.

Great pics looks like a top show ill be up.for this next year!!can some one next year put in events section would be great!!

Cheers guys!

That Escort looked mint when we were nosing round it in the paddock, really looked the part out on track as well.

Well you've got a whole year to get it ready for the next one! :lol: Was a really good day out (and helped by the fact the sun was out all day)

I don't actually know if its got a date next year yet! Its always around the start of May though.

Awesome pics Steve. Well done mate.

Great photos indeed!!

It truly was a fantastic day.

I organised a stand for the Subaru's and the grey MNR in the pics (It's my wife in the passenger seat :mrgreen: ).
I thought we would struggle to get 10 - 15 cars but we ended up with around 30 - 35 including 2 trans ams, the MNR and my lads Audi TTS.

I took 5 of my own to make the numbers up (I thought) How wrong was I :mrgreen:

If someone organises it next year I guarantee you will have a great day with a lot (albeit late) of support from owners.

Hopefully there are some more pics of the stand etc floating around out there.

Great pics, looks an awesome day. Would have gone had I not been working.

Cheers guys! :)

That was your wife? Graham and myself were laughing as the MNR went round as the passenger didn't seem to be moving at all: was your wife frozen with fear?! :lol:

Was that your stand at the top of the hill (on the paddock side?)


Unlucky, was definately worth the trip: try again next year! ;)

I think you should have a change of career.

Quality pics....:10:

Cheers mate, don't think I'm quite there yet! :lol:
