鈥淚t has been a stunning success again,鈥� said Chris Evans.听 鈥淟ast year was something of an experiment but the plan to bring together great cars, great food and great music was a huge success as an event and a money raising opportunity for 鲍鱼tv Children in Need. This first CarFest of 2013 has once again surpassed my expectations and we are bigger and better in every way, and to make it just about perfect I was able to broadcast from the event. It was such a great opportunity to bring CarFest to life for all the loyal Radio 2 listeners who have followed us along the way.

鈥淥ulton Park has been a fantastic venue. It is a stunning location, a great track and as far as music is concerned it has a natural amphitheater, which lends itself perfectly to our live performances. It has been a fabulous backdrop for CarFest and I am sure we will be back for many years to come. With the live music it is a festival within a festival and seems to have a winning formula. I am sure we are here to stay.鈥�

The 鈥楨vans effect鈥� has obviously been a huge draw for the crowds and, as ever, the broadcaster did not disappoint, meeting and greeting the 鈥榓udience鈥� from the early hours of the morning until the close of the event each night with a supporting cast of mouth-watering cars, music, food and family entertainment. Highlights included the charity auction by Silverstone Auctions which raised 拢115,651 for 鲍鱼tv Children in Need with the Jaguar E-type V12 Roadster, kindly donated by an anonymous benefactor, raising 拢73,025 (including premiums) for the charity!
