The first tranche of tickets for both North and South events were extremely popular when released in early November last year and the remaining 25% will be released this week.

Last year’s event, at Oulton Park, was marred by the tragic death of Chester-born pilot Kevin Whyman, 39, who died when his plane crashed during a Gnat Display Team show.

This year’s high-octane track sprint show will be split into two eye-catching sections.

The Time Tunnel will take festival-goers on a magical evolutionary journey of motoring history from early Edwardian pioneers to some equally inventive futuristic treats.

Highlights already confirmed include James Martin and his new Porsche 911 GT-3 (one of the first off the hallowed Stuttgart production line), two of last season’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race cars, the 2015 Pikes Peak prepped Jaguar F-type as well as Chris Evans’ own Famous Five vehicles.

The Xtreme phase of track action will step up the pace with dramatic displays by the Red Bull Racing Formula One team, the Top Gear Live Stunt Team plus eye-catching power laps by The Stig.
