We look ahead to what you can expect at the inaugural Classic Japfest 2024 event following our biggest ever Japfest Silverstone show.
While Japfest Silverstone 2024 is over, the show must go on! New for 2024, we’re launching Classic Japfest, a car show dedicated to what is arguably the golden era of Japanese cars. And what better place to launch a new event than at the famous Goodwood Motor Circuit? A new venue for Fast Car Entertainment. The show takes place on October 6th and is part of a double-header for FCE as we host the German Car Festival on October 5th at Goodwood.
So what can you expect from the Classic Japfest 2024 show? Read on to find out.
What’s on at Classic Japfest 2024?
eBay Garage at Classic Japfest
Building on the huge success of Japfest Silverstone earlier in the year, Classic Japfest is excited to announce the return of eBay as Headline Partner for the latest event in the Japfest series.
Once again, eBay will bring the eBay Garage, this time to the iconic Goodwood Motor Circuit, where it will be offering a range of exciting activations. Attendees can look forward to interactive games with chances to win exclusive eBay merchandise, along with the opportunity to explore the great features and products eBay has to offer.
Don’t miss out on the action – Head over to the eBay Garage and immerse yourself in the world of vehicle parts and accessories.
Car Club Displays & Awards
Much like Japfest Silverstone, car clubs will form the main feature of the event. Members of car clubs can display their vehicle as part of a club stand for show goers to ogle over, with club tickets available to purchase on the Classic Japfest website. Awards will be up for grabs for our clubs, and these include Best Car Club, Best Regional Car Club, Best One Make Car Club and Club Hero. Display cars must be 20 years or older (2004>).
If you aren’t part of a car club but still want to display your vehicle at the show, then you can still purchase a ticket and be part of our special display.
Retail Village
Aside from the car clubs, a bustling retail village will satisfy your need for new products, car parts, apparel and other merchandise. This is a great opportunity to speak directly to the people at the brands you know and love. You’ll have the opportunity to ask for help or advice on modifications or how to use a product and you may even pick yourself up a bargain!
Tillet Simulator Experience
We’re proud to announce our partnership with Tillet Racing Seats as the team behind the world class racing seats are taking over the Simulator Suite at Goodwood. The suite features four cutting-edge Exsim VR5 Motion Simulators, alloying you to feel every turn, acceleration and braking zone as if you were on track.
Show goers will have the opportunity to take part in 20 minute sessions, taking on the Goodwood circuit. You can book your session via the Classic Japfest event page. Advanced bookings cost £20 per 20-minute session.
Classic Japfest Icons
If you’ve got something unique, you can apply to take centre stage at Classic Japfest 2024 as part of the Icons Display. This is a hand-picked competition where applicants can apply to become part of the display. At the event, our judges will pick a top three, with the winner taking home the trophy and title.

Fast Car Display
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Fast Car Entertainment show without our own display now would it? We’ll be organising a display of past and future feature cars to showcase the best of classic Japanese car culture. Perhaps there may even be a Gran Turismo-type theme…
