Not enough to do for adults without children, very expensive for what was available; fairground rides, an event arena for stunt bikes, and a chance to ride a monster truck - which you could watch instead of queuing for hours for a 20 mins ride. It certainly didn't seem like a reason for a full day out, only a couple of hours especially for the price and what you got.

I honestly expected to arrive at an arena filled with  stunt bikes and monster trucks doing daring stunts.

Review of MotorFest - Newmarket Racecourse

only one monster truck doing a 10 minute slot every couple of hours. fairground rides not much better

We were disappointed with this event. There was only one monster truck doing stunts and it kept breaking down during the show. There were two monster trucks offering rides at £10 per person with 10 people packed into the back of the truck. Ground was gritty and dusty so lots of grit went in our eyes.

This was a complete sham. What was supposed to be a fun family day out was awful. Absolutely nothing happening for HOURS in-between. One food and one drink vendor with huge lines. Pay and pay again for everything else you want to do entertain everyone since nine of the "shows" were happening. Could have been really fun and instead we left feeling ripped off and saw one parked monster truck with a miserable looking driver and parked bikes with absolutely no riders in sight for 2 hours. What a scam!

Majoratively mediocre and amateurish performances.

The shows were too short.

The queues were too long. When there were queues (Mostly for the booze and monster truck rides).

Very little to do between shows. Apart from the fairground rides that were mostly overpriced.

The only alcohol trailer was ridiculously priced. £6 for a 330ml can of lager is insane.

It was just another money sucking event pretending to be entertainment.

Save your money and go to somewhere like Great Yarmouth dog track for their stunt shows. They are much better all round.

For this event to be considered entertainment they should have more local displays by kids groups, sport and fitness groups etc etc. Some stands selling locally made items and produce wouldn't go amiss either. And a stage for local bands and musicians to play on would help. Much better than the cacophony of clashing tracks from the various fairground rides.

As for the location. It was a full sized racecourse. But the event was held in the carpark. And car parking was on the fields. It would he been much better to hold the shows in the centre field of the racetrack, so that people could use the stands and actually see what was happening.

I realise the people put a lot of work and effort into this event. But it needs some reconsideration for it to live up to the impression given by the posters. Let alone the better options out there.

The weather was nice for the event though.

This was such a let down! We were so excited to see the monster trucks! And to ride on one too! But the "show" was a meagre 10 minutes - half of which was someone talking! The monster truck bounced over a line of cars 3 times and that was that! We paid nearly £60 for the privilege to see it!
As for the rest of what was on offer - it's just a fair ground! And a low standard one at that. Each ride was priced at £5 minimum  and the queues were long. 
The monster truck ride was short and a whopping £10 per person! We queued for almost an hour, other people had to wait nearly 2! 
It was poorly managed! 
There were 2 food stands selling what looked to be cheap fried food at mad prices. 
Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!

Not enough food and drink vans, didn't know when events were starting. Very small area but monster truck ride was fab

Phoenix Nights does a motorshow with only 1 Monster Truck that broke down

An overpriced event with 1 monster truck and nothing else to see. Iâve regretted buying my tickets and I donât recommend it.
