Best of British Drivers Back Autosport International
08 December 2006
The British motorsport elite will flock to the NEC in Birmingham to
meet their fans at the world’s biggest motorsport show, Autosport
International, on 13&14 January 2007. Britain’s latest Formula
One signing Anthony Davidson will officially open the show to the public
on Saturday 13 January whilst the UK’s only World motorsport champion,
Andy Priaulx will cut the ribbon to allow the crowds to roam the one-million
square foot exhibition on Sunday.
If you are mad about motorsport then you need to get your first motor
racing fix of 2007 at Autosport International. Long regarded as the
official start to the motor racing season, the show brings together
a mouthwatering selection of performance and racing cars, world class
international car manufacturer launches, and the all-action Live Action
Arena all under one roof.
Super Aguri’s new signing, the popular Anthony Davidson, will
boost the Formula One grid of Brits to four next season. Davidson will
be appearing on the Autosport Central Stage, fuelled by BP Ultimate;
the Karting Stage; the F1 Racing Stage and conducting driver signing
sessions on Saturday. Davidson’s Super Aguri teammate Takuma Sato
will also be paying a visit to the NEC to meet his British fans for
the very first time on Sunday.
From Britain’s latest Formula One driver to the UK’s only
World motor racing champion, Andy Priaulx from Guernsey. Although attending
the show on Saturday, Priaulx will return on Sunday morning to officially
open Autosport International to motorsport fans. The country’s
most successful racing driver and a firm fans favourite, Priaulx clinched
his double back-to-back FIA World Touring Car title at Macau, China,
in a nail-biting duel until the final lap, by just one point.
Joining Davidson and Priaulx will be all manner of British motorsport
champions, including British Touring Car Champion Matt Neal, British
F3 Champion Mike Conway, Avon Tyres British GT Champions Tim Mullen
and Chris Niarchos, plus Matthew Wilson, Britain’s youngest WRC
driver. Add to that the cream of international racing stars, from motorsport
legends such as Derek Bell, Allan McNish, David Brabham, Mark Blundell
and Jason Plato, to the Formula One stars of the future, and this is
the show no motorsport fan should miss.
