StreetCar Festival Anglesey: Sun, smiles and grassroots motorsport on a Sunday
Over 3000 attendees joined Motorsport UK’s StreetCar Festival this past Sunday at Anglesey AutoFest, at the famed Trac Môn circuit.
With seven car clubs (Harlech and District Motor Club, Caernarvonshire and Anglesey Motor Club, North Wales Car Club, North Wales Land Rover Club, Rhyl and District Motor Club, Bala and District Motor Club and Liverpool Motor Club) present for the festival, with a Gymkhana, Tyro and Touring Assembly amongst some of the events on offer.
The Gymkhana saw drivers require skill and agility to take on a series of different challenges – with the smallest distance recorded between two points the defining challenge – with 34cm taking the top spot!
A total of nine teams took on the Touring Assembly, leaving from the picturesque National Trust property Plas Newydd, with one driver even commenting he had “driven on roads he never even knew existed”.
Over 200 Passenger Rides were enjoyed and with the StreetCar Treasure Hunt, the event was a roaring success… there’s still two dates in the diary to explore grassroots motorsport at a venue near you!
Keep an eye out on our StreetCar Festival page, as team travel north of the border to Knockhill Race Circuit on the 27 September to support a Time Attack event.
Claire Kirkpatrick, Director, Volunteer and Club Development comments, “Our inaugural StreetCar Festival Wales was a celebration of our StreetCar programme and the opportunities that it provides to try out grassroots motorsport firsthand. If you missed out, there are still opportunities to join us at Silverstone and in Knockhill, Scotland, to find out how to get involved and give it a go for yourself.”
