Beaulieu Supercar Showdown - Monday 26th August

[Andyo]

Hi All

Just a quick message to see if any Atom owners might fancy a trip to Beaulieu on Monday 26th August to participate in our annual Supercar Event. I know some may be involved with Car Fest South on the two days before our event but why not make it three in a row.

I can offer two free tickets per car, entry to museum, Bond exhibition, Top Gear cars (all of the attractions basically). I also put on light refreshments throughout the day for you (teas, coffees etc). We also run a small demonstration straight to show the visitors how these cars can accelerate. We will have around 150 Supercars on display so its a very chilled out day and hopefully enjoyable for all.

The guys from Ariel normally come along but with a busy weekend in store they are unable to make this year, so if any members fancy a day out at Beaulieu or want further info please do let me know on here or my email is andy.ollerenshaw@beaulieu.co.uk

The more the merrier

Cheers Guys

Andy

I can vouch for this as being a cracking event - shame Ariel can't attend in person this year but it would be a good excuse for an Atom Club molecule.....

I've offered my services for the day on behalf of the club etc etc

That's also the day after Brands Hatch - Grand Prix Atom Cup weekend .. and a Bank Holiday

[FlyingTrotter]

Personal view but I would venture that its a bloody sight more fun driving Brand GP than watching some other chaps driving it - anyone else at Brands GP next thurs

We also run a small demonstration straight to show the visitors how these cars can accelerate.
How many times do we have to do that in a day and is it 1/4 of a mile

[Andyo]

The straight is around a total of 500meters. We are obviously not Goodwood or Laverstoke Park, we don't a hillclimb so we are making the most out of what we do have. A lot of events we hold at Beaulieu are Static displays and this one is the only one we allow speed and movement on - around 60/70mph (give or take). We do it twice a day, once at 12.00 and once at 15.00

[Sam]

I'd be up for this event in principle.

[Andyo]

Sam - feel free to drop me an email on the above address and will happily pass over some further info to you.

.... this one is the only one we allow speed and movement on - around 60/70mph ..

What about the remaining 400 metres? 

[Andyo]

Its 2 x about 250 meters. Plenty of space/distance to give it some beans. Its there to demonstrate acceleration and braking at speed. I fully appreciate the Atom is a cut above the rest when it comes to this.

Video from last year - we only did 250 meters last year (one length) but doubling this year, V8 Atom at 9min 2 sec
