Button took time off testing with Formula One team BAR to officially
open the show on Saturday 10th January and Justin Wilson was at the
NEC all day enjoying racing in the karting section of the show and
showed his prowess at the wheel of a Caterham.
Recently
crowned World Rally Champion, Petter Solberg was the star of the show
on Sunday 11th January while Anthony Davidson, BAR test driver officially
opened the show.
The
spotlight was firmly turned on the most exotic collection of Ferrari's
ever seen outside Italy.

Ferrari 360 GT |
Transporters
brought eighteen of the most sought-after Ferraris to Autosport International
including five World Championship winning cars, three belonging to
Michael Schumacher.
The
display worth more than £25million, brought by Galleria Ferrari,
the official museum in Maranello, created a display celebrating the
history of the company from 1947 through to the present day.
The 250 GTO which took Graham Hill to several victories sat alongside
the rarely seen F50, created to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of
the company and was the closest thing to a road going Formula One
car the company has ever built.
The once-in-a-lifetime eighteen car line up also include the current
ultimate road car, the Enzo, the award winning Challenge Stradale,
the 550 Barachetta and many more. |
