Autosport International has celebrated a spectacular second day at the NEC with an incredible line-up of star drivers taking to the Autosport Stage as the show’s dedicated trade days came to a close.

Autosport Engineering wrapped things up after two highly successful days of trading from some of the world’s leading motorsport, automotive, technology defence and aerospace companies. The busy area of the show hosted some of the world’s leading component suppliers and manufacturing outlets many of which were bringing the very latest 2019 products to market.

The inaugural Product Showcase Awards recognised the very best from across the engineering business. Categorised into nine categories winners included small, large and new firms from Bosch Motorsport (Energy Efficiency)for its Electric Coolant, Texense (Data & Measurement) for the Texense IRN8-WS4 and Bcomp (Innovation) for its Power Ribs.

Within the main show, former F1 driver David Coulthard was present to talk about W Series, the groundbreaking women’s racing series. The ex-McLaren driver revealed that when he started karting, he did so with his younger sister Lindsey, who he – and his mother and father – believed was more naturally talented.
