POLESTAR 3

Just when you thought the UK had every conceivable festival covered...

- By MARK TISSHAW

World's largest Polestar 'logo' might not be quite up there with the 'Oasis to headline Knebworth' rumours, but for the inaugural Polestar Festival this was the star both figuratively and literally.

A total of 170 metres wide, this particular headliner was made up of no fewer than 180 cars lined up in formation and took three hours of careful positioning.

Almost 1000 Polestar owners and their families turned up to mark the fifth anniversary of Polestar's UK launch, yours truly among them.

Held at Bicester Motion, the festival had on-track and off-road passenger rides, live talks on all matters Polestar, displays from its suppliers and partners including the likes of Google and Bowers & Wilkins, lots of special editions on show, such as the brand's ice racers, and the UK debut of the 5, just days after being unveiled to the world at the Munich motor show.
