We are delighted to confirm the speculation that it is Complete Kit Car magazine organising the new Donington Kit Car Show which will take place next year. We have many innovations planned. Our aim is to provide plenty going on to keep the whole family entertained for a full day. This is intended to attract new visitors to kit car shows as well as engaging those die-hards who are show regulars. Obviously it's too early at this stage to be specific, but we'll be making announcements over the coming months.

We have been in the planning stages of this show for months, during which time we've obviously been watching the various forum threads about shows. We obviously have to balance the cost of putting on a show at a prestigious venue like Donington with making it attractive to visitors, but in our opinion this is a risk worth taking with the support of the existing kit car enthusaists. At this early stage, we are open to your ideas which can be sent to us via the link on our website.

One important aspect of the show is that the 750 Motor Club will be holding a race meeting on the two days. The clubs and owners' cars will be parked on the circuit's infield, giving all visitors and excellent vantage point to see the action. This fixture is confirmed by both the 750MC and Donington Park, but may be subject to change if Donington's license for the number of 'noisy' dates is changed by the local authorities.

We're really thrilled to have the opportunity to run a kit car show at such a brilliant venue. Donington Park is at the heart of British motorsport and is the perfect place to stage a dynamic, exciting event. We hope that we are given the opportunity, support and enthusiasm of the whole kit car scene and encourage you to 'think different' with regard to shows to attract more people to our industry.
