SPECIAL EVENT (LONDON) - RACE RETRO SUPPORTS LONDON MOTORSPORT SHOW...

SUPPORT LONDON MOTORSPORT SHOW...

The organisers of Race Retro, the International Historic Motorsport Show, are bringing their knowledge of the motorsport vehicles of yesteryear to create a Historic Motorsport Zone at this year's London Motorsport Show, held at ExCeL London on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th December.

The London Motorsport Show is owned by Starting Grid Ltd and Director Philip Bunn said: "This year's show has trebled in size and now spans around 20,000 square metres. As part of the expansion, we wanted to create various feature elements and a Historic Motorsport Zone was a natural progression. To ensure the zone showcases established exhibitors, we approached the team at International Historic Motorsport Services, who organise the very successful Race Retro at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire in March. Event Director Ian Williamson and his team will manage this zone on our behalf."

International Historic Motorsport Services Ltd has organised Europe's leading winter historic motorsport show for cars and bikes for the past four years, attracting around 20,000 visitors and over 440 exhibitors to its Midlands-based show. The management of this new zone and an alliance with the London Motorsport Show gives both companies the opportunity to reach a wider audience.

Ian Williamson added: "I see our involvement at LMS as an opportunity to further the cause of historic motorsport. I believe that the organisers' professional approach to the presentation and content of LMS reflects our own standards and we are looking forward to developing a lasting partnership with a show that is undoubtedly going from strength to strength."

Other features include an insight into karting and how to get started, a seminar stage with motorsport Q&As, a fantastic display of both contemporary and classic racing cars, and trade stands selling everything a driver needs to start the new season.

The show also hosts the first motorsport competition to take place in central London, with the launch of the London Masters Rallycross event. An arena-based circuit has been created specifically for the competition, which has already attracted over 100 entrants, with the entry list for applications about to close. It is no wonder that the organisers are billing the show as "the UK's most innovative motor sport show".

The London Motorsport Show covers all disciplines of motorsport, from karting through to Formula One, and is a must for any motor racing enthusiast.
