Pics from Chris Evans Carfest 2012
Thousands of car fans from across the UK gathered at the weekend at Laverstoke Park Farm* in Hampshire for the inaugural Carfest.
The event was organised by Chris Evans with proceeds going to BBC Children in Need.
There was a huge array of both new and classic cars on display, including some of the latest hypercars and famous models from the race track and rally stage. Great organic food and music completed what proved to be a great day out for all the family.

*Laverstoke Park Farm is an organic farm owned and run by Jody Scheckter, the former Formula One world champion.

Had a great weekend at CarFest.
Good cause and superb effort from Chris Evans. like him or loathe him he put 110% into this.
Only problems were the toilets (not enough) and the tents were squashed in on the campsites.
If this is held again next year I would go but they really need to sort the camping and toilets out.
Well done Chris
