I for one have not heard of it Steve.
Where is it & what is it?
A lot of our cars don't come out until the salt is well and truly gone!

As far as i'm aware this is the first request for an LCR presence, so i'm quite happy to look at for 2017.
You would have to bear in mind that few of us would want to drive long distances during the winter months.
ps
From a very quick look on their website it would appear all stand space is chargeable and a 3 car stand would cost us in excess of a £1,000. There are no shows we attend where we pay for space, it's down to organisers to recover their costs from the visiting public. I've spent several months (and I've not given up yet) trying to get Goodwood to understand the concept of giving the LCR some free space.

I have been going to Race Retro for years ( but not with the cortina).
I agree that its an excellent show especially if you appreciate the rally cars.
Its not expensive ( buy your ticket in advance to save the wait at the gate).
I would be happy to take my car next year.
Shame the old Town and County show has gone from the same site it was always a big LCR turnout on August Bank Holiday
