It all started as a bit of fun on a disused runway back in the 1990's with a silly idea of holding a rally and a sprint at the same venue over the same weekend and with each year the event seems to get bigger, better and more popular.
The 20th Abingdon Motorsport CAR-nival stages will feature the same fantastic ingredients: 8 stages of up to 11-miles each, representing excellent value for money and making it one of the longest single-venue events on the calendar.
3 YEARS AGO WE INTRODUCED THE ABILITY TO SHARE THE DRIVING WHERE CREWS MAY 'SWAP SEATS' ON ALTERNATE STAGES (SUBJECT TO LICENCE REQUIREMENTS) AND THIS RETURNS AGAIN IN 2016. If you want to know how it works see article 13.4 and please contact the Event Director on +44 7889 799972 / +44 1252 727390.
The Abingdon Motorsport CAR-nival Stages is a qualifying round of a number of prestigious, well-supported Championships and you are reminded that despite there being 100 places, the event is ALWAYS OVERSUBSCRIBED - delayed entry will mean disappointment. We are NOT reserving ANY SPACES for any of the Championship contenders and entries will be dealt with purely on FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS.
However, we recognise the current cash flow issues and so in addition to delaying the processing of debit cards and cheques; we will only keep the charitable contribution if you cancel before 16th May 2016. After the deadline however, we will require an admin fee of ?30 plus the charitable contribution ? You have been warned.
As a part of The Abingdon Motorsport CAR-nival Weekend (which has raised over ?240,000 in 19 years), a large element of the event is based around raising money for good causes and this year in addition to The Friends of Stowford (Charity No 1089136), we will also be raising funds for the direct welfare of those soldiers stationed within Dalton Barracks.
The CAR-nival weekend features Sprinting, Rallying and an AutoSolo as well as Camping, a large Beer Tent, BBQ and Saturday evening cabaret (Comedian). Anyone wishing to stay for the weekend is welcome although you must appreciate that the facilities are 'as a farmer's field'. Camping and caravans are free of charge but must be parked as directed ? Caravans MUST NOT be parked in the main area set-aside for tents. Vehicle Trailers are also prohibited from ALL CAMPING AREAS.
Additionally, camping is not permitted in the Service Area due to local authority conditions of use.
Anyone wishing to stay locally will find adequate accommodation at a number of Travel Lodges and Travel Inns all within easy reach of the venue (early booking is recommended for either The Apple Cart (Premier Inn ? Didcot) or the Holiday Inn Express (Pear Tree Interchange).
We urge you to join us at The Abingdon Motorsport CAR-nival Stages, an event which has become a 'must do' on the motor sporting calendar.
