AUTOSPORT INTERNATIONAL PREVIEW - Sept, 20, 2008

With over 28,000 trade visitors in 2008, Autosport International is Europe's largest motorsport trade show and a key business networking event for every motorsport professional.

Autosport International includes over 850 exhibitors covering 11 halls at the National Exhibitions Centre (NEC) in Birmingham. It incorporates virtually every facet of the motorsport industry, showcasing all the latest innovations within motorsport and performance engineering.

The show takes place over two trade days followed by two weekend public days and caters for all areas of motorsport from karting to Formula One, and from the club racer to professional organisations.

A brand new layout for the 2009 show will see Autosport Engineering, the dedicated, trade only, show-within-a-show for specialist technical suppliers, move to Hall 9. Autosport Engineering will once again be showcasing all the latest innovations in the design and performance engineering areas within motorsport, with exhibitors like Brembo S.p.a., Pi Research, Eibach Springs, Magneti Marelli and Xtrac all already confirmed.

Autosport International will also feature a brand new Trade and Technical Area for the many technical suppliers who wish to exhibit at the show for all four of the show days. The area is strategically located by the link-way into Autosport Engineering in Hall 9 to ensure that trade visitors have a much more focussed experience, having easy access to the main show's trade and technical exhibitors as well as those situated in Autosport Engineering.

With almost 4,500 overseas trade buyers from 58 different countries in 2008 and every racing category included, the show truly reflects the international world of motor racing, offering unrivalled business opportunities to those attending.

The Autosport International Show will run from Thursday 8 to Sunday 11 January 2009 at the Birmingham NEC.
