Its another of Maranellos masterpieces that is likely steal the show, however, as Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason is bringing his glorious Ferrari 250 GTO to the party.Created in 1962 as the ultimate road racer, the wonderful 250 GTO is hailed by most petrolheads to be greatest of all Ferraris. Only 39 were built and today they change hands for more than 20m.In the face of so much glittering Italian exotica, Jaguar Heritage is proudly flying the Union Flag. It is bringing an amazing collection of historic Jaguar racing cars to CarFest North starring the unique XJ13. Built in 1966 as a potential Le Mans contender, the mid-engined XJ13 remains unquestionably one of the most desirable and beautiful racing cars of all time.Theres a notable Jaguar going under the hammer at CarFest North, too. Last year Silverstone Auctions raised more than 90,000 for BBC Children in Need via special charity sales staged at both CarFests. That figure could be topped in 2013 as one generous vendor has donated a very special Jaguar E-type V12 Roadster to the Pride & Joy auction at Oulton Park with all the proceedsestimated at between 40,000 and 60,000going to BBC Children in Need.The French are out in force, too, with a remarkable collection of rarely seen racing and rallying Matras including both Le Mans and Grand Prix winners all revving up for action at Oulton Park. Theres a further treat for F1 fans with James Hunts red and white McLaren M23 and Mario Andrettis black and gold Lotus 77 performing in the Sprint. Both date back to the dramatic and controversial 1976 season as soon to featured in Ron Howards eagerly-anticipated Rush movie. The Hunt car is of notable interest as its the chassis he raced to wins in Spain and Germany as well as in the British Grand Prix before being disqualified following protests from arch-rival Ferrari.Other notable highlights are dazzling parades of both Aston Martins and Lamborghinis to mark important milestones in their respective automotive histories plus, for the first time at a CarFest, the addition of some very special motor bikes.As if the magical sights and sounds of so much show-stopping machinery arent enough, the festival atmosphere will continue after the dust settles on the Sprint.
