Ok from the top:
1. The website looks to be in a unfinshed state. There is little or no information about the events. The 'Show Times' has very little information, and the competitions page has no information at all. The flash banner appears on every page - not good imo. If you want to have the adverts on every page, then make a smaller flash banner that actualy looks good. The flash banner itself looks like a poor powerpoint presentation, and the ?boxabeat? advert looks like something I would take children to see? is that right? I dont know what boxabeat is because your flash banner dosnt link thought to any information, this thus loses my attention.
2. 'The show guide is currently unavailible' make me think that there is little or no trader/clubs signed up to go to this event. If I understand correctly, the show organisation is still in its early stages, but surely there is going to be more than just the Panasonic stand? Also, Panasonic? I just feel its not very autosport related at all! If I wanted to look at Hi-Fi and audio equipment I would go to an AV show, not an autosport show. At a car show I want to be seing stands related to bit that can go into my car. Currently, the only good thing on there at the moment is the Stuntshow, but again I want more information directly fromt he flash banner and maybe a hotlink to there site? As your trying to advertise something to me, it should be made easy to gain extra informaiton without me having to use google!! The only page where I can get information is from the 'Whats on' page, which again only has 4 things listed. One of which is the Devon & Cornwall Safty Camera Partnership - I have seen there stand every year at the devon county show and in my opinion its not what I would want to spend my time looking at whilst at a car show. 'Click here to view the Club Directory -
Coming soon!' - dont tease me, link to a page that tell me who has signed up. If no one has signed up, I want to know!
3. At the moment, with the limited stands information and the current adverts, it seems more like a super small devon county show more than a car show.
4. Your flyer almost give me the same amout of information as the whole website, that shows a lot is missing from the website of you can fit it on an A5 flyer!
At the moment, imo it looks s**t and I wont be going. So hurry up an make it better so I have a decent car show to go to in the south west!!! Im not sure how far along the development of the project is, if its only in the early stages, you should maybe have an early stage website that is only gear at giving information to potential traders and clubs (pretty much what you have now, but without all the advertising information, as the 'lack of' makes the show seem poor).
