Autosport International, Europe’s premier pre-season motorsport show and the performance car show, is the leading UK exhibition dedicated to enthusiasts of sports and performance cars.
Taking place from 11th to 14th January at the NEC in Birmingham, Autosport International provides visitors with the chance to see the cars and stars of world motorsport. These include one of the greatest British racing drivers of all time, 1992 Formula 1 World Champion Nigel Mansell CBE.
The main feature at the 2018 show will showcase the range of cars available through Corse Clienti, Ferrari’s exclusive client racing
programme, from Challenge car to GT car, through the XX development cars to Formula One. The display will include the Ferrari FXX-K Evo, the Ferrari 488 Challenge and the World Endurance Championship-winning 488 GTE.
Another show highlight will be the 2018 World Rally Championship season launch ahead of the first rally in Monte Carlo. It is the first time a top-tier FIA World Championship has launched at the show in its 27-year history. During the event, all of the lead drivers, co-drivers and team principals will be in one place and on hand to talk about the 2017 championship and share their opinions on what the new season will bring.
Running alongside Autosport International, the Performance Car Show will give petrol-heads the chance to see a selection of the newest, rarest and most desirable models in the metal. Always a head-turner, Liberty Walk EU is set to unveil a never-before-seen Lamborghini Aventador at the event, while URBAN Automotive will be revealing its brand-new creation – the URBAN Velar.
Building on the success of the past two decades, the 2018 Live Action Arena will showcase impressive wheel-to-wheel racing and play host to a mesmerising sequence of stunt driving from some of the world’s finest drivers and celebrities, hosted by Sky F1 commentator, David Croft.
Furthermore, the Trade and Technical area features talks from a vast array of the world’s leading technical suppliers and showcases the very latest available products.
