Autosports International Show Saturday 14th January 2017

Описание: Hello & Welcome to Harnetty Railways

Something of a rarity here as there was no mainline steam during this period.

Coming up

We are at the national exhibition centre in Birmingham for The Autosports International Show.

This was a very special visit not only for me but also for my older brother as this was his 30th birthday present from me.

We start with the 10am live performance show hosted by Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft a huge variety of super cars, rally cross cars which the sport was celebrating there 50th anniversary in 2017 since the sport was 1st formed. Glimps of the future with the 1st electric racing car and an ambitious stunt which never happened before.

Once after the show we have a look round the exhibits including the Lotus F1 cars of the 1960's in the days when F1 legend the late Jim Clark drove to his 2 Formula 1 world championships.

In 2017 was also the 40th anniversary since the formation of The Williams Formula 1 team in 1977 we look at some of the F1 cars of the team from Jacque Villeneuve's 1997's Championship winning car, Joan Paplo Montoya's FW25 car of 2003 & Filipe Massa's FW 38 of 2016.

There was a formula 1 grid display with the f1 teams from last season in 2016 the main highlight was seeing the Ferrari f1 car in the line up we also see Red Bull's & Mclaren's car.

We also have a look at some of the super cars on display including Aston Martin, lotus & Bugatti Veyron.

What an event it was the best event I have been to away from the railways.

Me & my brother loved it so much that we may plan on doing again next year only time will tell.

Thanks for reading enjoy the Autosports show.
