JAE13 dates confirmed - 12th -15th September 2013

Post by chris »

An official statement from the organisers of JAE:
japanese auto extravaganza wrote:2013 has already proved to be an interesting year for events..........if only for dates! The F1 Grand Prix is on at a different time and even Goodwood Festival of Speed has changed its dates.

For the first time JAE has found itself on the same weekend as Trax. Trax having to move because of MotoGP taking their original date. Recognising that both are very different kinds of events but that JAE and Trax attract a good number of Japanese cars and car clubs we did not want to force people to make a choice and, with Trax being one day and JAE all weekend it would not be fair to run them at the same time. So, and after much discussion, it has been agreed to move JAE.

JAE 2013 will now start on Thursday 12th September and will finish on Sunday 15th September. The venue will remain the ever fantastic Wicksteed Park and all the usual fun and games, tunnel run, show n shine, football and fireworks will still be there. In fact we’ve even added some new events but more about that next time!

Gates open at 6pm on Thursday 12th September and are open 24 hours a day until we close.

See you all on 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th September!
...so there we have it, JAE will be a week later than expected this year due to the events as described above. Gates open to the public on the Thursday evening at 6pm of the 12th September, and will then remain open 24hrs a day for the duration until the Sunday evening of the 15th September.

The reps meet is due to take place at the beginning of April where we will try and aim to secure a better spot than last year.

Thanks for the heads up Chris :th:

Try and focus on getting us a spot nearer the events if you can! I walked miles last year supporting the teams! Going to book holiday tomorrow :D

Let's make it bigger and better than ever, and if there is dragon boat racing, I'm your man :)

Indeed Andy!

This next point I cannot stress highly enough....

YES it is a car show
YES there are some extremely shiny cars there
NO your MR2 does not have to be pristine or minty fresh to be on the stand
YES it is one huuuuuuge social event
NO you will not be excluded from anything just because it's your first year.

In our MR2OC book - it truly is the more the merrier :th:
