Thousands of you will once again be flocking to a field in Leicestershire on Sunday 15 August for the speed event of the year.
On Your Marks is guaranteed to get the adrenalin pumping for all fans of super-fast cars and spectacular flying machines.
An incredible 450 high-performance cars from all over Europe will be on show at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome, along with rally vehicles, motorbike displays and the chance to take a trip in a 4X4 that drives underwater!
Meanwhile in the air, Spitfires, Mustangs and a Russian team of pilots will dazzle with stunts. And for £100 you can take the controls of a real helicopter.
Lutterworth HGV driver and joint organiser John Forde said: “We are fulfilling people’s wishes and dreams – and we’re still the biggest and the best.”
Last year’s event raised over £30,000 for charity and another bumper take this year is expected to boost Wishes 4 Kids and Sparks, the children’s medical research charity on behalf of the Asda Foundation.
England’s 1966 World Cup hero Sir Geoff Hurst MBE will be on hand to sign autographs as President of Sparks.
The Asda Driver of the Year competition will be staged alongside On Your Marks with Scotland looking to make it a hat trick of consecutive wins.
To round off the fun, the annual It’s A Knockout madcap games will feature teams from depots across the country – with Lutterworth ADC looking to retain their crown.
Just to get you in the mood, here’s a reminder of last year’s high-octane fundraising.
