So if you do attend this event I guess it is best to turn up with a VAG group vehicle?

you can turn up in any vehicle you like and park in the normal non Audi area, but if its not an Audi you wont be allowed on the main AITP SHOW Parking area..

there is plenty of room for everyone its a massive field

I went a couple of years ago (pre-lockdown). Quite a good event and well organised, with loads and loads of Audis.

Personally, though, I prefer a bit more variety (other than the ‘8 meets) and my favourite series of shows are these: https://classicshows.org/pages/events

I doubt I'll be going but I am just 37 miles from the venue, near the M1 J18 if anyone wants a pre-meet mini meet and a splash of water
