PLAYERS 11.0

 

If you’re into modified cars, you’ve more than likely heard of Players. It’s one of the most well-known car shows in the UK, taking place every September at North Weald Airfield in Essex, where the venue is overridden by hundreds of show cars from all over the country, and even Europe. It’s a rather unique location, given the fact that the show takes place alongside a live airfield, also making use of two gigantic hangars… One displaying an Air Lift Performance showcase, and the other holding ‘VIP’ show cars, hand-picked by the event organisers Jay McToldridge and Carl Taylor. Aside from the chosen cars, the rest of the show remains open to ANY modified vehicle, so if you turn up on time, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be in the show – unlike their sister event, Players Classic, which is entirely pre-approved. Unsurprisingly, this leaves us with a highly varied showground packed with all sorts of cars, and all tastes. Although, that’s not a bad thing. It’s a great way to bring the community together, regardless. Check out our highlights from Players’ eleventh show below…

It would seem that Players are sticking to a recipe that has worked for them for eleven years now. Their North Weald show provides the ideal opportunity for anyone with a modified car to get involved and show their pride and joy to the rest of the community, with no worries of pre-approval – which is happening more and more with car shows these days. Players is one of the few shows left that anyone can take part in, so if you want to experience UK car culture in full, it’s the place to be. Oh, and don’t miss Players Classic at Goodwood Motor Circuit on the 23rd and 24th of June 2018 for their next installment, you’re in for a treat.
