Autosport Show

Back to UK Trip Start Page

This show runs for four days. On Thursday and Friday only "trade" is allowed-people who are involved in racing with teams or suppliers. Saturday and Sunday is open to the general public. Autosport magazine is a typical Brit rag, heavy on the hype, so the show is glitzy and celebrity-heavy. The Autosport Engineering Show runs the first two days only in a hall adjacent to the bigger show and has smaller technical exhibits. Racecar Engineering magazine sponsors this part of the show.

83,000 people visited the show during the four days.

Ferrari F1 car

Formula 1 racecars were prominent at the show. Here's a Ferrari on a stand. In the back ground is a row of simulated pit stalls with several F1 teams represented.

A bit of fluff.

I should have brought my drivers suit!

Fluff with Guy

I was too embarrassed to get my photo taken with the girls. Darn!
