British GT to Take Centre Stage at Autosport International

08 January 2007

The four day 2007 Autosport International Show at Birmingham's NEC gets underway on Thursday 11th January and official British GT magazine partner Autocar will be showcasing the Barwell Motorsport Aston Martin DBRS9 GT3 race car that Paul Drayson will be challenging for the 2007 Avon Tyres British GT Title.

Barwell Motorsport, who won the inaugural British GT3 driver title with Leo Machitski, are planning to make an announcement regarding their plans for 2007 at the show. As well as getting up close to the race car that featured in the November 22nd issue of Autocar, visitors to the stand will also be able to enter an exclusive Autocar / British GT competition to win a pair of VIP paddock passes for the entire 2007 British GT season.

"We are pleased to be invited to be part of the Autocar Supercar Paddock at the 2007 Autosport International Show," said SRO Chairman Stephane Ratel. "Autocar have been a great supporter of the Avon Tyres British GT Championship in 2006 and we are looking forward to bigger and better things in 2007 with the UK's leading weekly motoring magazine."

The display of high powered machinery on the Autocar Supercar Paddock in Hall 6 (Stand 6300) will also include the challengers for the recent World Indoor Speed Record Challenge, including the Mitsubishi Evolution FQ430, Ariel Atom Supercharged and Mercedes Benz ML63 AMG.
