Festival Italia comes to Brands Hatch on Sunday 14 August, adding another unique major event to the Kent circuit’s impressive calendar. This all-singing, all-dancing celebration of Italian motoring and culture will be headlined by F1 demos and races for Ferraris, Alfa Romeos, and other classic Italian cars, with a themed off-track show to match, and is brought to you by the same team as the acclaimed American SpeedFest events.

Racing is to be headlined by the Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic series, with plenty of star Italian cars taking to the track for special demonstration runs too. These will range from a 1950s Ferrari Grand Prix car, to Italian F1 machines of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, plus Abarth and Osella sports cars, and significant road machines such as the Ferrari F40 and Lancia Stratos.

Off-track highlights will include vehicle displays starring cars and bikes from many of Italy’s most iconic manufacturers, plus a Piazza in Italia shopping market, whilst there will be official involvement from the Ferrari Owners’ Club and Auto Italia Magazine.

The Ducati Sporting Club UK has been invited to attend and display our member's bikes. If you would like to attend and display your bike, you will be given free entry for yourself and a pillion, saving you a massive £38 on the gate cost for tickets.

We will have a dedicated area for bike parking which will be manned at all times, along with space to store your bike kit.

If you wish to join us, please send me a PM with your details - name and bike - and we'll add you onto the list!

Hi,

Sasha from Festival Italia (Brands Hatch 14th August) is sending me a pass / ticket to show my Ducati 1199s Tricolore.

Is there a club meet up and ride to the event?

Kindest regards
Rob.

All,

Please register your bikes with MSV to ensure that you get a ticket for the event.

The club will have a combined stand with DOCGB Kent and UKMOC to display all our bikes, and we have the clubs inflatable archway and stand, so you shouldn't miss us as you come in to Brands!

We are hoping to have a kit drop for anyone biking in, so you are welcome to leave your helmet and leathers with us to wander around.

There will be a parade lap at 3pm which we will also be part of, if you wish to ride round Brands (stc)!

See you there!

Have I missed something? How do you register to receive your tickets from MSV?

Hi Lloyd

As per www.festivalitalia.com

"If you would like to display your Italian car or bike, please submit your name, mailing address, vehicle model, what category (car or bike), registration number, and what club you are a member of (if any) to festival.italia@msv.com."

Just drop them an email and tell them you're on the Ducati stand and they'll sort you out.

Apologies for the confusion!

Hi there,
I contacted Brands Hatch MSV on Wednesday and yesterday (Friday) asking for late entry.
They said cut off was Monday....
Any suggestions on how to get very last minute complimentary entry?
Thanks Erich

I noticed on the linked site that it says: "Passengers will need a valid ticket, and can be purchased here." Is there some sort of secret handshake we have to know to get a pillion in for free ?

Cheers

So... I mailed the festival.italia address, and got the following reply:
Good morning Simon



The Ducati Sporting Club display area has been sorted by the club themselves so in order to display with them you will need to contact the club directly who would then send your ticket, parking pass and passenger ticket out.



Many thanks

Sasha

What do I do now?

Hi Simon/Antonye,

This contrasts with my response also from Sasha(I received my ticket/pass yesterday)


Good afternoon Lloyd



Thank you for your email and interest in Festival Italia. I can confirm you are registered to display your vehicle at the event.



Your ticket and parking pass will be sent out on Monday so you should receive these early next week. Please note that the ticket covers the rider's entry only so any passengers will need to purchase a general admission ticket.



These can be purchased from www.festivalitalia.com or over the phone on 0843 453 9000.



Many thanks

Sasha


Regards,

Lloyd

....*sigh*

We've not been dealing with Sasha, so he probably assumed that we would be getting tickets (we've not got anything!) rather than what we were asked to do which was to get everyone to register themselves!

I'll speak to our contact today and make sure that anyone who hasn't got tickets will still be able to get in, and will respond shortly.
