Unfortunately this was the wettest event of the century! Downpours kept most cars off the event area with only a couple of canopies erected earlier in the week still standing. A few brave souls ventured out into the 'British weather' under umbrellas huddling together.

Watching the weather reports prior to the event, it looked like the only rain was going to happen during the early morning lasting until mid-afternoon - exact time of this years' event! Mother Nature couldn't have been planned any better.

Car judging still commenced and the CMGC did take most of the awards.

The British Car Festival is organized by the British Car Union, which is a non-profit founded in 1986. It consists of representatives from 20 different Chicagoland British car clubs whose sole purpose is to coordinate the events critical to making the British Car Festival a success each September.
