Motors
TV, Europe’s dedicated motorsport TV channel, will this week be
exhibiting at Autosport International as Official TV Partner of the
2008 show.
Autosport
International is the world’s premier motorsport exhibition, acting as
the gateway to a brand new season of motor racing action, and Motors TV
will be there to provide exclusive coverage of the event. In two
special programmes, showing at 9pm on Sunday 20th and Sunday 27th January, Motors TV will get behind the scenes to bring viewers all the latest news from the NEC in Birmingham.
This
year Motors TV will also be offering fans the opportunity to win VIP
passes to a number of high profile race meetings in both the UK and
abroad! Every other hour on the Saturday and Sunday of the show, the
‘High Speed Television’ channel will be organising a prize draw at
their stand (n°8205 in Hall 8), with the lucky winners set to
collect prizes which include VIP packages for the French GP, DTM and
BTCC at Brands Hatch, Le Mans Series at Silverstone as well as British
F3 / GT weekends.
Autosport International is one of the very few
events in the motor racing calendar where fans can get close to their
favourite drivers and other motorsport celebrities. Mark Webber, Allan
McNish, Andy Priaulx, Damon Hill, David Brabham, Gary Paffett, Jason
Plato, Johnny Herbert and David Coulthard are just some of the star
names that will be present at the show.
This year Motors TV will
also feature coverage of Friday’s celebrity kart race which will see
professional drivers and celebs from the world of entertainment racing
for charity in the NEC’s purpose-built kart track. The 1½ hour race
will see twenty teams of four drivers battling for the honour of
Autosport International Celebrity Kart Challenge Champion and raising
thousands of pounds for a variety of good causes. Drivers from
single-seaters, tin-tops and sportscars will take part, including David
Brabham, Allan McNish, Oliver Jarvis, Robbie Kerr, Adam Carroll, Oliver
Gavin, Johnny Herbert, Paul di Resta, Gary Paffett and Jamie Green
whilst Rick Parfitt (Status Quo) is among the celebrities involved.
Meanwhile,
situated within the largest hall of the NEC, the ‘Live Action Arena’,
which boasts its own paddock area and 5500-seat grandstand, will allow
the public to see an array of motor racing action with races and
demonstrations throughout the weekend.
The show opens to industry professionals on Thursday 10th and Friday 11th and to the public on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th January.
