Race Retro 2008 - International Historic
Show Continues at Stoneleigh
27 June 2007
A new three-year venue agreement for Race Retro, Europe's leading
winter historic motorsport and motorcycle sport show, has just been
jointly announced by the Race Retro show organisers, International
Historic Motorsport Services Ltd, and Stoneleigh Park Ltd, the venue
operators.
Race Retro 2008 will take place from 14th to 16th March 2008, midway
between the show's original late February calendar spot and the 2007
experimental late March date, at Stoneleigh Park, near Coventry CV8
2LZ. It is returning for a fifth time to the popular West Midlands
venue.
Ian Williamson, Race Retro event director, said: "We've listened
to our exhibitors' and our visitors' thoughts on Race Retro. The conclusion
is that the show and the venue complement each other so well that a
new three-year agreement with Stoneleigh Park is our most sensible
way forward to ensure the continuing success and growth of Race Retro."
With almost 20,000 square metres of quality exhibition hall space
available, in a parkland setting with its network of roadways allowing
the inclusion of the ever-popular Race Retro 'Live Rally Stage' action,
Stoneleigh Park - with easy access to the Midlands motorway network,
public transport and local airports - provides the perfect relaxed
and visitor-friendly setting for Race Retro.
Race Retro 2008 will include over 400 exhibitors from the historic
motorsport industry, representing manufacturers, restorers, preparation
specialists, event and series organisers, motorsport art, memorabilia
and books, the prestigious Bonhams motorsport auction, live rally cars,
autotests, historic kart racing and motorcycle action in the park.
All this, coupled with the usual attendance by a host of invited celebrity
guests and former champions from the world of racing, rallying and
motorcycling, make visiting Race Retro a must-do experience for the
enthusiast. The 2007 weekend attendance figure was over 22,000.
