JENSON BUTTON TO APPEAR AT AUTOSPORT
INTERNATIONAL SHOW
Motor racing enthusiasts will get the opportunity to see
Brawn GP driver and current Formula One World
Champion Jenson Button when he attends Europe’s largest
motorsport show, Autosport International, in January.
Not only will visitors get a chance to see the driver at the
NEC-based show, but also the machinery which helped him
win his title, as the Brawn GP car will be on display, along
with all the cars from the 2009 grid.
It was a close call whether Jenson would actually be able
to compete in the 2009 season, when his former team
Honda shut-up shop at the beginning of the year and the
29-year-old looked to be out of a F1 drive until Ross
Brawn stepped in. So why not join in the celebrations with
the champion in person at the Autosport Show, and hear
his thoughts on his most important season to date?
Held at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, on
14-17 January 2010, the show is one of the few places
where motorsport fans have the rare opportunity to get
up-close and personal to their favourite drivers and cars
away from the racetrack. F1 fan favourite, Jenson will be
providing show-goers with a unique insight into life at the
pinnacle of the glamorous and thrilling world of Formula
One, as Autosport International celebrates its 20th
anniversary.
Visitors can also look forward to wheel-to-wheel racing
and record-breaking stunts in the Live Action Arena, which
will once again showcase live racing, awe-inspiring car
demonstrations, celebrity driver appearances and
competitions.
“I am really looking forward to visiting the Autosport
International Show in January,” said Button. “It’s a real
highlight of the motorsport calendar and there’s always a
fantastic atmosphere with a great mix of people and some
very impressive machinery. Along with the British Grand
Prix and Goodwood Festival of Speed, it’s one of the best
opportunities to meet our fans and thank them for all their
support. Hope to see you all there!”
“We are delighted that Jenson has been able to find time
in his busy schedule to celebrate this milestone year with
us,” said Haymarket Exhibitions Show Director, Ian France.
“I am confident that the 20th edition of our show will be
the best yet. Watch this space as we will be announcing
even more exciting show features in the coming months.”
