Cholmondeley Pageant of Power gets a revamp

The Cholmondeley Pageant of Power is getting a revamp with a new name and a host of new features.

Now called Cholmondeley Power and Speed, this year's event, which takes place on 10-12 June, will celebrate supercars past, present and future.

From static displays to on-track action, visitors will be able to get up close and personal with some of the most powerful supercars in the world.

New for this year is Motorshow Live. Taking place on the Friday, this gives car manufacturers the chance to show off their latest models on track, while enabling guests to test drive them in a unique racing environment.

This  42-litre Packard Bentley entertained visitors to the 2013 event.

James Hall, event director said, ‘Over the past eight years, we have worked to keep our annual motorsport event at Cholmondeley Castle as entertaining, family-friendly and fresh as possible, resulting in record visitor numbers last year.

‘With a racetrack that rewards power and speed, we felt it was time for these key factors to be better represented in the event name and after much thought, Cholmondeley Power and Speed was born.

‘We teamed the new name with a revised format, which allows us to offer manufacturers a hands-on experience for their guests, seeing first-hand what makes our track special in some truly great cars. We are sure that this, combined with the on and off-track action, air displays and water activity for which Cholmondeley has become famous, will make 2016 the best and most exciting event yet.’
