We did the day proud with so many Zeds, almost as many as the GTRS! haha. thank you all for coming along, Mark, Will or I didn't win the show and shine, the white R32 did. I have never seen so many GTRs!!! Doesn't help my desire for one haha *dreaming* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 seems alot of people on facebook not very happy with the event, granted i didnt get chance to have a look about but it was all fun in the outer paddock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apoc124 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 i have to agree to be honest it was a bit lack luster but had a laugh with friends and it was good to meetup with people and see alot of 350s and see some GTRs hopefully it grows and gets better as i think it has potential to be good aslong as they keep it cheap and get some traders interested this early i think alot of people are feeling a bit peeved that they had to pay for entry and there wasnt much to do :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davewilkins Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) My second post on the forum...... Lovely display of cars. I organised the GTROC cars (only 10 of 17 turned up although we has some cars on track). Parked quite close to Amy's mint car We were behind the show and shine. I had a good look around the cars as I am selling my R33 GTR (had three GTRs in 15 years) and there is only one car to replace it with. One off here! Hoping to have the GTR gone in a couple of weeks and a 350z in time for JAE. Don't be too hard on the organisers. I have supported Simon and Zoe since the conception of Nissan Day donington and this was a big jump for them. A tenner is not bad for a day out watching a GT3 car fly around a track. There was quite a good viewing area behind the bouncy castles (where my kids were most of the day) looking out onto Tarzan. Really hope to be posting up some pics on here of a zed that I own soon.

Chris Wiltshire Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Great day, lots of GTR's, organisation could be better but if this is only the second time going then I suppose this will be improved on. Bit disappointed to see that I was the only person left on the stand by 3pm!! How can you expect public to pay to get into an event only to find most of the cars have already left???

Bit disappointed to see that I was the only person left on the stand by 2pm!! How can you expect public to pay to get into an event only to find most of the cars have already left??? Equally, it works the other way too, after 5 hours of very little or no general public there does seem little point in remaining other than to chat to your mates. It worries me that the event was so poorly attended, 800 people by all accounts and I'm not sure if that includes club members or not. It must be tough to get these things right and I hope the organisers can get it right, maybe even relocate it. It wasn't ideal at all. Last year was a completely different and highly enjoyable event, this year's didn't come close.

StevoD Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 also this is the First time this event has been run this way, in other years it has been ran and funded by nissan, this year its all out of Simon and Zoe time and resources. so i think comparing it to the other Nissan Experience event other years is unfair as im sure its easier to get a company come down and do stuff when they see an email from Nissan GB rather than a show which has never happened before.

In someways only myself to blame and if I had researched it properly I might not have attended and I do believe others I spoke to feel the same way. You said earlier it was good fun where you were, I agree it was, probably the best part of the day as far as I'm concerned. It's a shame the organisers have struggled with this and no one wants to see people have financial problems but they must have done their research beforehand, something was not right to have such a small turnout and I hope they can improve it but there is a lot to do as far as I can see. Maybe it was the location maybe it was the way it was advertised, maybe there are too many shows now? Either way I wish them well for the future.

StevoD Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Oh i fully agree the UK has too many shows which are all the same now once you been to 1 or 2 a year you dont need to go to the other 10 unless your trying to collect show and shine trophies, the locations suck imo for car shows as i said, but i do think the advertising was laughable even the event banners etc looked like they were made in a primary school in paint. I really hope they can find another venue and learn from this year Maybe it could be something like 'Suprapod' or this could be next step if they could find a better venue then if it really took off Edited August 16, 2016 by StevoD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 The lesson to learn is, go back to a corporate day out. I know I didn't attend but, 'Sponsored by Lichfield', Nissans only, Rockingham, It's just a bad recipe. Japfest two was held at Rockingham, and that didn't go down well, you've now shrunk the show down by 75% and use a venue that has proven to be unpopular for car shows. Personally as I said, should of just done exactly the same as what they did last year with the same location and focused more on providing a more luxurious area for club stand locations. Just my 2cents from someone who went last year, but not this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
