Williams Confirms Major Feature at 2016 Autosport International
Autosport International has proudly announced that 2016’s show will host a major feature by Williams. The incredible WILLIAMS MARTINI #racing motorhome will be installed next to the Autosport Live Stage, the first time it has ever been constructed away from a race circuit, offering unprecedented fan engagement. Other features will celebrate Williams Advanced Engineering and Williams Heritage.
Autosport International takes place from 14-17 January 2016 at the Birmingham NEC with tickets on sale now from http://www.autosportinternational.com. Motorsport fans will be treated to a celebration of Williams, covering the history of Sir Frank Williams’ #racing team, including a selection of the cars and famous faces that have made it so successful.
Established by Sir Frank and Patrick Head in 1977 and the winner of nine Formula OneTM Constructors’ Championships, Williams will have a major presence at #autosportinternational 2016 with features celebrating its past, present and future.
Full details of this must-attend attraction will be issued over the coming months, but for now #autosportinternational has revealed that the team will exhibit some of its most-celebrated #racing cars, alongside appearances from current drivers and famous faces who have played a part in Williams’ success, including its seven Formula OneTM Drivers’ Championships.
Unprecedented fan engagement will be a theme of Williams’ presence at the NEC. As many fans know, the Formula OneTM paddock is often off limits for regular enthusiasts who rarely get to see the motorhomes up close. Not so at #autosportinternational.
As part of a major revamp of the Autosport Live Stage, the Williams Martini #racing motorhome will be constructed immediately next to the main stage – the first time it has ever been erected inside an arena. A permanent feature for the duration of #autosportinternational, it will be an amazing sight, standing eight metres tall and bringing even more F1 excitement to the NEC.
As well as interactive features focusing on Williams’ F1 exploits, the #event will also give visitors an insight into the world of Williams Advanced Engineering, the division that transfers technology from Formula OneTM to market sectors as diverse as defence and renewable energy.
Williams Advanced Engineering has completed many high profile projects recently, including supplying all batteries to the inaugural FIA Formula E Championship. In addition, visitors will be able to learn about Williams Heritage, the team’s historic #racing division, which restores and fully supports Williams #racing cars for private owners.
Claire Williams, Williams Martini #racing Deputy Team Principal, said: “Autosport International is the world’s biggest #racing car show, covering every aspect of our sport and the industry that supports it.
“We are delighted that we will have such a major presence at the 2016 #event, which will give us the opportunity to celebrate and share our past and present with our fans – and also give visitors the chance to learn about other elements of the Williams organisation that they may not be familiar with.”
Anthony Rowlinson, Editor in Chief of Autosport and F1 #racing magazine, said: “Williams Martini #racing is one of the most-loved teams in the history of motorsport and everyone involved with the show is absolutely delighted that they will be such a major feature in 2016.
“It’s great to have a current front-running team at #autosportinternational again, placing the #event at the forefront of the motorsport calendar in the run-up to 2016 Formula OneTM season”
Ian France, #autosportinternational show director, said: “We are extremely excited that Williams will be at #autosportinternational 2016 in such a spectacular way. From the construction of the incredible Williams Martini #racing motorhome to stands filled with famous Williams #racing cars – and lots more besides – this will be a real feast for all motorsport fans.”
More details of the Williams special feature at #autosportinternational will be announced in the coming months. The 2016 #autosportinternational show takes place from 14-17 January at the Birmingham NEC. Tickets for the #event, which covers every aspect of motorsport from karting to Formula OneTM and also engineering, are on sale now and can be purchased from http://www.autosportinternational.com.
