Anybody venturing down either trade days (Thurs/Fri….yes that’s tomorrow) or public days (Sat/Sun)….I’m sure the sun will be shining at the NEC in Birmingham----Not.

I'm probably going on Sunday - meeting up with some car guys from The Motor Forum (www.themotor.myfastforum.org). Should be a good show!

I'm there on Saturday and for the evening oval race meeting (6pm live action show) - cheering on the autograss racers, no pre-planned outcomes for their races

Not taking my CS though, Vauxhall Signum for that run I think.

What was every bodies impression of this years show?? I thought it was much quieter this year with a lot of stands ‘missing’……….Ford wasn’t even there and they are the Rally ‘World Champions ‘…..Not Very Good to my mind !”!!

I guess a lot of companies, large and small, are feeling the pinch. Justifying the costs of the Autosport show may not be so easy... I'm an oval race fan so not so interested in the 'main' show, just the suppliers, national motorsport section and oval sections which I thought were ok again. I did think the main hall's seemed to have fewer main stands or maybe a hall less than previous years?#

Justifying my ticket costs is another thing... 32 quid each for the paddock pass version and saturday evening show entry. I enjoyed it though and for me it's a good opportunity to catch up with the rest of the autograss racing people before the season starts in March/April.
