Hi

Just wondered if anyone is planning on attending this event this year.

If you have never heard about this show then it is one of the largest car shows in the UK, its actually billed as the largest motorsport show in the world catering for most motorsport disaplines, from F1 through to karting. There are different marques on show as well as a multitude of tradestands.

Here is some information on the show.

• What is Autosport International?

Autosport International (or ASI) is an annual event catering for the motorsport and automotive industry professionals, non-trade people who are actively involved in the sport (such as competitors etc) and the motorsport fans who simply enjoy following and being close the sport.

The first two days (Thursday 10th and Friday 11th January) are for industry professionals only, and registration is required to attend.

The following weekend (12th & 13th January) is open to the public, meaning that anyone can visit to see the latest race cars competing all over the world, exclusive launches, enjoy special discounted prices on many products, brush shoulders with top drivers and celebrities and enjoy the company of other people who share the same interests and passions.

All categories of track and off-road motor racing are represented, including

- Formula 1 and other national and international single seater series such as GP2, A1GP, Formula 3000 and manufacturer formulas

- World Rally Championship and other rally series

- Production car-based racing categories such as GTs and Touring Cars

- Drift series such as EDC and D1GP

- Tuned car series such as Time Attack

- Oval and stock car racing such as Hot Rods, BriSCA F1 stock cars and Super Silhuettes among others

- Historic car racing series such as Top Hat and Group C/GTP

- And karting, in the form of the Karting Show, representing top kart manufacturers, accessory retailers and race organisers all on hand to give advice on how to start kart racing!

All pricing is shown below.

Tom, I reckon for photo opertunities either the thursday or the friday will be the best of the days as Sat and Sun tends to be quite hectic.

How cool though that your college is taking you up there though. I wish when I was at college they took me to such a great show :(

But some of the engineering bits and bobs they have up there is really good. Do they still have all the big names about on the trade days though?

Im hoping to go friday/saturday, as im not sure the littlelun will have much of an attention span to do the whole show in one day so we are planning to make a weekend of it if we end up going :D
