Thank You, Feedback & Registrations Open Soon

By Kurt Schofield | Tuesday, 14 December 2021

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who attended Tokonatsu 2021. It was a significantly more difficult event to organise than any other in order to ensure that it was safe and compliant with all COVID-19 precautions.

While we may have seen some of you attend the virtual event we hosted back in 2020, some of you we hadn’t seen since Tokonatsu 2019. We even saw a large amount of first-time attendees at Tokonatsu 2021.

Countdown to Tokonatsu 2021 (7 Days)

By Kurt Schofield | Thursday, 22 July 2021

We're officially in the home stretch now! We only have a week to go and so it's about time to start consider packing for Tokonatsu 2021. While you do that, here are some things to keep in mind and think about.


New Registrations

We had previously announced that Friday 16th July 2021 would be your last opportunity to register for Tokonatsu 2021. This is mainly due to arrangements and agreements between Tokonatsu and Central Bedfordshire's Safety Advisory Group along with our insurers in order for us to be able to run at all. These agreements were made well in advance with the assumption of being able to run in at least stage 3 of the UK government's COVID-19 road plan.
