VW Action is the longest running VW Show in the world, and has in one form or another been the true 'Jewel in the Crown' of UK VW events, from its early days at Stoneleigh, the NAS Stoneleigh shows, the period of its residency at Peterborough, at Herts County Showground, and now at Santa Pod. The last few years at 'The Pod' have produced quite exceptional shows - VW Action can be a weekend camped

amongst like-minded enthusiasts, sitting, chilling, and meeting new friends, or a fully involved, participative fun fest!

DIZZY RASCALS DRIVING COURSE AT GTI SPRING FESTIVAL
Sunday 12th APRIL 2026
Santa Pod Raceway • NN29 7XA
https://santapod.co.uk/gti-spring-fest.php

And they said drag racers don't do bends. Free to take part, is the totally insane ‘Dizzy Rascals’ course. A course which is a combination of roundabouts, straights and chicanes, and which has been such a runaway success. All a bit bonkers, a bit ‘anarchic’, but lots of fun for contestants and spectators alike.

The course is very suited to short wheelbase front wheel drive cars, but we see everything from Lupos to Transporters having a go at driving the day’s fastest lap. A constant line of participants, the squeal of tyres, and a crowded spectator area. One car on the track at a time, against the clock, with a trophy for the quickest on the day. A combination of sprint and autotest, it’s free, and you just have to give it a go!
