An extension of one of the world’s largest and most active online motoring communities, PistonHeads: The Performance Car Show has plenty to offer fans of everything with an engine, whether you have a driving licence or you’re still counting down the days until your seventeenth birthday!
Stands from companies such as Porsche, Nissan, Ariel, Quantum Sportscars, SDR Sportscars, Raw Striker and Deronda will make sure there’s plenty of fantasy garage-fodder, while Nissan’s gaming area will give you a chance to test your skills behind the wheel on the hotly-anticipated Gran Turismo 5, and take a couple of the cars on the Nissan display for a virtual test-drive.
If those electronic laps whet your appetite for some real-life on-track action, we can help you with that too. Javelin Track Days will be on hand with all the information you need to get you onto the circuit with its wide range of track events, whether your preference for speed thrills has two or four wheels.
As well as the cars on show, PistonHeads: The Performance Car Show offers plenty of opportunities to go home with something shiny and new. Whether it’s a miniature version of your favourite car from DazsModels; performance, cosmetic or ICE aftermarket parts from one of the tuning and accessory companies that will be there, or perhaps a car-shaped computer mouse from Dragon’s Den competitors, Motor Mouse; there’s something for every pocket at this petrolhead nirvana.
This is just a tiny taster of what’s on offer at the 2011 show and if you really love your cars, PistonHeads: The Performance Car Show is not to be missed.
If you still need a reason to head to Birmingham, there’s the small matter of the world’s greatest motorsport show, Autosport International, which sits right alongside the Pistonheads show and brings together the world of motorsport to keep you going until the first V8 fires up in Bahrain for the start of the Formula One season.
