Monster Motoring Event at Donington Park This Easter

DONINGTON PARK, UNITED KINGDOM – March 30, 2009: Everything about the International Styling and Tuning Show (ISTS) at Donington Park this Easter is big! Biggest modified car show in the UK; Big crowds; Big chance of spotting a celebrity or driving a big power supercar and they don’t come much bigger than Big Foot and Thunder Bolt, the Monster Trucks that will be crushing the cars that just can’t hack the pace!

On the 11th and 12th April, these bad boys will dominate the main arena with their 66 inch tyres and top speed of 80 miles per hour. As well as winning the Monster Truck World Championship six times, Bigfoot also holds several World records including longest distance Monster Truck jump at 202 feet over a 727 aeroplane and the longest wheelie! ISTS won’t have aeroplanes but we will have cars ready to be crushed as both trucks jump more than 14 cars, travelling 110-115 feet through the air!

And find out what the drivers in the British Grand Prix can expect when the race comes to Donington next year as you can take a drive around the circuit in an amazing supercar or even your own supped up motor. In action in his own racing car will be Shane Lynch from Boyzone, transforming from boy band member to bad boy behind the wheel.
