Car Football.


A burst ball.





The car football was bonkers, two teams of drivers, one from the world of motorsport, the other team made up of influencers went head to head. plenty of action, 3 burst balls during the first half of the first game. They had 1 ball left to survive the following 3 days. Team Motorsport were 1 nil up with 3 drivers remaining team influencers lost all bar 1 of their drivers. Somehow Ciro Ciampi managed to bring the score to 1-1 all on his own.
It was also great to catch up with lots of friends during the day and make new ones.
Things you should know if you are going:
If you are not a VIP or disabled, the parking is about a 10 minute walk from the site. There is also a shuttle bus.
The event is huge, with so much going on it's an idea to research what interests you so you don't have to walk around as much. There is an app you can download that helps with this.
There is free Wi-Fi at the event.
If you do go, have a great time and let me know what your highlights were.
