Autosport International 2008 - Jan 10th - 13th

[Rogue]

Hi all,

Team Rogue Racing Ltd (the racing division of Rogue Motorsport) will be exhibiting at the Autosport International show. We'll be promoting the MR2 Championship on the 750MC stand (CM8), where we'll have a race prepared mk2 for you to check out.

Rogue Motorsport introduced mk2 MR2s into racing in 2005, as part of the MR2 Challenge series. Since then we've built over twenty dedicated MR2 race cars - mk1, mk2 and (currently being built) mk3 - and helped many others to prepare and race MR2s. In 2008, MR2 racing has been officially recognised by the Motor Sport Association (MSA) - the UK's governing body - and granted Championship status.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Best regards,

Patrick Mortell

Hopefully... I will be there. Although the wifey is still stinging from the bill of Nurburg so that might not be possible

Link to the shows website. It looks awesome

A show well worth visiting.

I will be registering to enter the MR2 Championship this year and will be going to pick up the relevant info and buy some gear on Friday.

I'm trying to blag free tickets from work (but there don't seem to be any) and need to sort my medical out for ARDS... and might be doing it then - I think i'll be going on a trade day - just got to work out if my boss is likely to give me the day off to go nosey on Thurs, or just go for my half day on Friday...

Jo & I want to go too.

Freebie tickets are like rocking horse poo.

The pro audio company I used to work for did the sound for the event - and even then we couldn't get tickets to attend.

Out of interest how much are they charging this year?

[tonigmr2]

It cost me £32 per trade ticket including the live show and trade guide.

[Simarshy]

£28 for basic none trade admission

I'm going to pop along on Saturday as I could do with buying a Seat and Helmet. I'm hoping the prices are competitive and there's a good choose. Not sure what else I'm expecting to see there but will be a laugh.

There is the occasional good show deal on those - exactly the reason I am going, need seat, helmet, suit, boots, the lot!

Same - although I got a bargain suit and boots from GPR before Christmas. Particularly want to sort my helmet out...
Also want to check Brian James aren't goign to have a better offer on the trailer i just ordered

Oh - and ofcourse to see Patrick-san, and the 750f lot too

[skinthespin]

I will be there on friday too with a couple of lads from Triumph if anyone wants to meet up, I *hopefully* will also be registering for the championship with mr2only, we have a car etc so its looking hopeful.

See you there

[paul port]

I should be there both Thursday and Friday...

Looking forward to it I'll be buying a new set of gloves since my old 'external seam' ones have disintegrated!

Paul

PS..
If anyone is interested… I have a Sparco X-Light 300 (Blue) 3-layer suit that I need to sell…
Doesn’t fit me anymore!

Bought it a few years ago for the MR2 Championship – and I’ve only worn it for a couple of races and a few trackdays… I’ll put something up on the ‘for sale’ section later.

[Chr15py]

Wondered if anyone else would be going. I'll see you there on Friday...need a crash helmet

[george_m]

I will be there Thursday, tomorrow, I will pop over to say hello Patrick

[jonb-]

The list of people to see tomorrow (saturday) is ever growing!

[Rowland]

I'll be there with the Rogue Posse Saturday and Sunday.
Last year there was some bartering to be done on some of the stands.
I got some real discount on Boots / Race Suit / Gloves etc on the Deamon Tweeks stand...

[Simarshy]

Was good fun to pop along yesterday, definatly better then the last motor show I went to at the NEC. I'd recommend people going along today if you've been thinking about.

It's worth bartering a bit, although my Arai helmet still cost loads lol. Still at least I'm happy I've got decent safety equipment.
Got to look over some Carbon Kevlar helmets which were amazingly light, not sure about spending £1500+ though.

Finally saw Rogue's Pink Mr2! it just reminds of me Reservoir Dogs ;p

wonder where they got that idea from


#I hear that the arrangement plan was interesting to say the least someone at autosport was having a giggle when they produced the plan

I had a great day there, easily the best autosport show I've been too.
