Abarths at Brands Hatch Festival Italia: 14th August 2022

[Colin]

Festival Italia at Brands Hatch is one of the most popular events in our calendar, and deservedly so, too. The 2022 edition takes place on Sunday 14th August. As in previous years, a major feature of the event will be the Car Club displays, with hundreds of Italian cars from every marque expected to provide a stunning attraction in the infield. I have registered Abarth Owners Club, and our initial allocation is 50 places (the maximum we can have for now!). Be aware that Abarth South East have also made a successful application, and also have 50 cars. Hopefully we will be able to park in one large area for all Abarths again, but in case we can't, do consider which Club you want to book with.

As well as the Car Club Displays, there will be a full program of activities on the track, with Alfa Romeo and Ferrari championship races already confirmed. There is likely to be the opportunity to take to the track yourself at the end of the day in the popular track parade.

The Car Club package means that you get one half-price entrance ticket for the driver and car, and you can also purchase one further half-price ticket for a passenger (additional passengers will be at full price). To claim one of the AOC places, you need to book through the MSV website. If you do not already have an MSV account, you will need to create one, and log in. The link you need is this: https://shop.msv.com/DisplayCar/Register/BH-22-Italia      Make sure that you select the option of displaying with a Club, and from the drop down, select Abarth Owners Club. The process is that you apply for a place, and then MSV will review it. Once they have approved it (and they will email you to tell you so), you need to go back into your MSV account and complete the purchase of your ticket. It is important that you do this, as this step is what actually generates your ticket.

Note that this event is always very popular and in previous years, our ticket allocation has been claimed within a few days, so do not delay in booking your ticket. If you are too late, then you can still attend as an individual, and it is always possible that we will be able to secure more tickets nearer the event so don't be deterred if you miss out on the initial allocation..
