Five motorsport world champions present at Autosport International

The plethora of motorsport stars attending the Autosport Show in January will include five world champions from various disciplines. 1996 Formula One World Champion Damon Hill will be reuinted with his Williams FW18, with 2013 FIA World Endurance Champion Allan McNish and former WRC and World Rally Cross Champion Petter Solberg speaking on stage and performing stunts in the Live Action Show.

Motorcycle legend Phil Read, who was the first man to win the 125cc, 250cc and 500cc world titles, and 1987 500cc World Champion Wayne Gardner will be meeting fans and signing autographs. Read will also be signing copies of his new autobiography Rebel Read. The pair will be heading a historic display called "When we were kings", which looks back at some of the highlights of their careers.

“To have five world champions at Autosport International is a real privilege for us and a real treat for visitors," said Show Director Ian France, "Nowhere else can you get access to such a huge number of world-class drivers and riders – you’re guaranteed to see some amazing stunts from Petter Solberg, hear some incredible insight from Damon Hill and Allan McNish and marvel at the achievements of Wayne Gardner and Phil Read.

“Couple these amazing appearances with the exclusive Williams feature – which will see some of the team’s most famous Formula 1 cars lined up in front of the towering motorhome – and I’ve no doubt that the 2016 edition of Autosport International is going to be the best yet.”
