The line-up is expected to include a number of iconic Mercs, Astons and Ferraris. There will be plenty of F1 cars on display from Lotus, Benetton and McLaren. Rally fans will also be able to get a closer look at Colin McRae’s Subaru Impreza.“CarFest is now entering its fourth season and every year the track show just gets better and better,” explained Bas Bungish, event director at Brand Events.He added: “Thanks to the huge generosity of some famous car collectors and the enthusiasm of car loving public, we continue to bring together a truly wonderful collection of eye-catching machines ranging from the bizarrely whacky to priceless icons. The glorious gathering never ceases to amaze.”As well as the cars, there is also plenty of live music from artists such as the Boomtown Rats, Texas and Paloma Faith across the two shows.The only downside is that many of the full weekend tickets have already sold out, but if the weather remains glorious it is certainly worth picking up one of the day tickets."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/\/cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Glorious Sunshine = Car Show Time","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/cars\/glorious-sunshine-car-show-time\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
