A bunch of us went in 2012 (yes it was that long ago).
3 hour queues to get in. That's what I remember most. Apart from that, Subarus, Hondas, Supras all looking about the same.
There's not much detail on the website either: http://www.japfest.co.uk/japfest-home
There's better events more suited like Retro show, Beulieau's got a show on, RRG, anad Spa Classic being the big one for me this year.

Apparently the new system of 1 ticket per car has improved the queues, but I don't really go anymore as it's a little more like chavfest than japfest, too many people with no real interest or any respect for other cars, and there really isn't enough space in some areas.
If you've never been, and want a decent track session, then go for it...it's a nice circuit, with nothing too technically difficult - I've been a few times, and made it back in one piece
