Inaugural Australian Motor Racing Series Expo a Success

The inaugural Australian Motor Racing Series Expo held over the weekend proved to be a big success, with hundreds of motorsport enthusiasts visiting Wakefield Park to learn more about A Future in Motorsport. Competitions were held throughout the day, with a number of visitors winning hot laps in race cars (from a V8 Supercar to a Mitsubishi 380 Production Car), information sessions were held throughout the day, with participants learning more about the administrative side of racing, receiving some driver instruction from Andrew Miedecke, Shelton Loughrey, Sam Dale and Adam Proctor, and learning more about the technical side of the sport, with Dale Thompson covering suspension, and Racing Tyres also receiving attention.

Exhibitors on the day were very pleased with the amount of interest, and included:

The 2006 Australian Motor Racing Series Expo is set to provide an excellent introduction to the Motorsport scene for new competitors in the lead up to the 2007 season.

A Future in Motorsport: The Expo, to be held at the Wakefield Park circuit 17 December, will provide a wealth of information and displays to interested visitors. There are over 30 confirmed displays, with more to be finalised over the next two weeks. Amongst the displays, visitors to the AMRS Expo will find drivers, teams and category representatives, who will all be extremely approachable, and eager to pass on information. This is the perfect opportunity for anyone considering competing or participating in motorsport to have an up close look at the cars involved and to get the inside information on participating. The presentations will also offer experienced competitors the chance to expand their racing knowledge in the lead up to 2007.

The displays will also give spectators a chance to see race cars in all their detail.
