London Motorsport Show
Showtrax International were pleased to exhibit at the London Motorsport Show at Brands Hatch on the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd of November. The Production team designed and built a stunning Pit Garage set-up showing off both the Standard walling system and the new Seamless walling system, displaying the fantastic quality of our in house large-format digital printer. Also on show was the new LED Carbon Fibre Powerhood that has already proved popular with teams from some major racing series. The Driver/Rider shelves at the rear of the garage also get lots of attention as teams discuss the different options available to them in customising, from helmet cooling fans to ambient under shelf lighting.
To finish the garage off in great style we were kindly loaned a Dodge Viper from
Moore Racing that managed to pull the crowds into the pit for a good look. The Viper (without an engine due to being halfway through repair) succeeded in looking the most poised and menacing of all the cars at the show. A big thanks to Richard and Thomas for delivering the car in showroom condition and then collecting it on a cold wet Sunday evening.
The big surprise of the show was a young racer by the name of Zoe Wenham of
A2Z Motorsport, who was lucky enough to take Mark and Nick out for some hot laps on the Indy circuit. Zoe, driving her Saxmax Citroen Saxo, took Mark out for a couple of dry laps on Saturday and Nick for no less than ten wet laps on Sunday. The word impressive is an understatement when it comes to Zoe’s driving. She attacked Paddock Hill with speed and accuracy and the skill of a seasoned driver. Her consistent lap times and calm control spoke volumes of a real racing talent, and all this was compounded by the fact Zoe is just 14!
Zoe will be competing in Saxmax and Junior Rotax Kart Racing in 2009 and is looking to run in the Clio Cup in future years. Definitely one to look out for.
