Charities and Supercar fans were satisfied alike this weekend when over 200 Supercars gathered for a glorious event at Wilton House…
For the second year running Lord Pembroke opened the gates and grounds of Wilton House near Salisbury, UK this weekend for Supercar Saturday. And not even the typical British summer of dull grey skies and rain could dampen the enthusiasm of all who attended.
For the lucky few the day started a little earlier where all the cars met at Thruxton racing circuit for a few laps. Few people get to see these kind of cars in the metal, but to see them tearing around a race circuit is another level altogether. Name another venue where you would see a McLaren F1 GTR being pursued at high speed by a 600bhp Nissan R35 GTR, both drivers grinning like fools… Let’s just say the light rain certainly helped liven the track action up a little too.
Once the fun was over all the cars travelled in convoy to Wilton House, with none other than your intrepid writer at the front in a Lamborghini LP560/4. The crowds lined the entrance to the grounds as the cars entered one by one revving their engines, including Lord Pembroke in his Bugatti Veyron.
Once parked up, we could all revel in the sight of these cars all together in the same place. A Bugatti Veyron, two Ferrari 458′s, a Ferrari Enzo, a McLaren F1 GTR, two Pagani Zondas, two Porsche Carrera GTs, a Ferrari F40, a Mercedes SLS AMG, a Koenigsegg CCX and a Lamborghini LP570/4 Superleggera were just some of the highlights:
There were over 7000 visitors who paid £10 to see the supercars, which raised a huge amount of money for the Stars Appeal and the Wilton House trust. Had the sun come out attendance would have undoubtedly been even higher. Organiser Jay Broom has already committed to the 2011 event, and it is guaranteed to be even bigger and better.
What do you think of all those Supercars? Will you be going next year? Leave a comment below and let us know!






















Absolutely brilliant day. Myself and my family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. All those incredible cars – and in such a beautiful setting. We found the Courtyard parade particularly exciting with the cars revving and us wondering which car would be the next through? And later, the Rev Off – superb.
I look forward to seeing more details and putting in an appearance myself to see what on offer at the show?
