AUTOSPORT INTERNATIONAL 1997

The Stars

One of the great things about shows such as Autosport International is that everyone who goes will get the chance to see current, past, and even perhaps future motorsport stars. The racing heroes which set our hearts pulsing every weekend are all part of the show and always eager to please their fans and admirers. Some lucky kids this morning found themselves racing head to head with Martin Brundle in the Microprose F1GP2 Simulators. Following on from that a head to head between Brundle and former F1 driver and Eurosport commentator John Watson, provided the surrounding crowd of spectators with racing that might not have been close, but could certainly be considered entertaining!

Just a few yards away, and minutes earlier, the newly crowned F1 World Champion, Damon Hill, was to be seen signing autographs and answering questions. Fellow Arrows driver Pedro Diniz was somewhat easier to get to....
