Autosport International (ASI), the world's largest motorsport exhibition,
looks set to break all its records next January after tickets got off to a flying start.
Increased
public interest in the event’s 18th show is predicted
thanks to the “Lewis Hamilton” effect after his astonishing debut
Formula 1 season with McLaren. More than 90,000 visitors are now
expected at the Birmingham NEC across the two-day ASI spectacle, to
which Hamilton has been a regular visitor in the past.
The show marks the start of the new season for most fans and sees teams, drivers, manufacturers and
championships host stands, make announcements and mingle with the general public at the prestigious event.
In 2008 visitors and motorsport enthusiasts will again be able to get up
close to their favourite F1 cars on the F1 Racing feature and a number of new features to be announced in the next two weeks.
In addition, the Live Action Arena gives visitors the chance to get right
next to the action as race-prepared cars rev-up and let loose in the custom-built showground.
Another
big crowd-draw will be the first-ever Pistonheads
Performance Car Show, which will run in parallel to ASI. More than
25,000 sports car fans are expected to attend for features including a
concept car
gallery, supercar paddock, track day cars, performance tuned cars and
car market.
The Pistonheads Show is an extension of the web magazine
Pistonheads.com, which is one of the world’s biggest online communities in the automotive sector with 1.1million unique users.
Autosport International will run from Saturday 12 to Sunday 13 January.
Adult tickets start at £28 per day with children’s tickets costing £18.50. To book, visit www.autosport-international.com or call 0044 8700400396.
