GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!
MORNING MORNING Friends!!
Today I am hyped
Because I am taking you to a show that
has a special value to me
The board behind me keeps changing ...
I am here at the National Exhibition Centre
In Birmingham with
Giusi, also called the nerd
who is here to help me out
because I am taking you to Autosport International
Come with me , I will explain to you everything
At this show you can find ANYTHING related to motosport
CARS, F1 , Rally cars, drift cars
simulators, racing drivers
Giusi are you excited?
Similarly to our usual videos I'd say we begin
with a little bit of history
This new configuration proposed by Autosport is very interesting
The cars are now sorted by Date
You can start from the 50s to the Modern days
Since we are Italians
We have to start for sure with the Maserati 250F
In 1954
Juan Manuel Fangio  won 2 races with this car
It is really really beautiful!
Moving on to the 1960s
we find the Lotus 49
Jim Clark won at his debut with this car
in 1967 and in 1968 Graham Hill won the world title
In the 1970s section I am struggling to choose
because we can find here 3 beasts!
The Porche 917 that everybody is familiar with
The beautiful
Lancia Stratos HF
Driven by the amazing Munari
And the super famous LOTUS 79
one of the GROUND EFFECT cars
If you remember, down there, look!
You can find the sideskirts
used to create ground effect
that for safety reasons was later banned from f1
This is perhaps one of the most technologically advanced
cars for its time.
It is really spectacular
I do not know which one to choose among them
So I will ask to our little helper
Who wins in the 1970s category?
Who wins?
The Lancia Stratos!
For the 1980s we have three important icons
but obviously the true queen is
the McLaren MP4/4
Driven by?
I know that sometimes your mind wanders around
But I want you to focus properly
Ayrton Senna!
Bravo!
The car of the Great Ayrton
We have arrived at the 1990s section
Here we have an Indycar
Giusi : " And here a 1991 model"
A beautiful 1991 model
And then guys this fantastic
rally car. the Subaru Impreza
That one many many races
look what a beauty
Phaenomenal
This has always been one of my favourite liveries
What do you think about it?
Here , dear nerdy, we have
two 2000s icons
almost 2010
This one back here is the BRAWN GP
You might be wondering.What is the BRAWN GP?
The BRAWN GP is the modern Mercedes AMG F1
Ross Brawn in 2008
bought for 1 British Pound
The Honda F1 team, which was out of businness
he built this very car
and in 2009 against every odd
Won almost every single race and the world title
Then he sold the businness to Mercedes
And from this car here
The winning streak
of Mercedes started. Now winning with Hamilton
Modern times. 2010
The hybrid era
here we have a Formula E car GEN1
The Porche 919 Hybrid
that set the world record on the Nurburgring
I will leave the link to the video in the description box
because it is really impressive
And the queen of modern motorsports!
Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes
He won so many races!!
Truly beautiful
And from here I would ask you
which one was your favourite?
Who wins?
This one here...
For me without any doubt is the Lotus 79
What do you guys think? Which is the best?
Just to keep talking about history
We found a collection of historic cars for sale
They are a bit out of my budget
But Ill show them to you anyway
Do you know what this is? This
Is the Mazda MX5
The one I use in IRACING?
Exactly this is the Mazda MX5 that you can find in IRacing
The one we use all the time online
LOOK what I found!!!
How beautiful these models are!
The one from Senna, Lewis,Raikkonen!
So ManY!
Beautiful!
How is the race seat? comfortable?
Maybe I will stay here
No , we have still plenty to see!
Let's go
Look here!
This is a F2 car , with the new 18inch wheels installed
What do you thing about them?
For me they are too big
This is the reflexes testing game
racing drivers usually train by trying to touch
the lights as fast as possible
what was your record? 43!
28, 28!
Nobody will beat my 43!
you thought that I was slow...
In this area there is a fantastic exhibition
of modern formula 1 cars
Haas, redbull, renault
It is so nice to have the chance to see them so close to each other
For sure you had the chance of seeing them live but
every time seeing them give you shivers
We are about to jump on the Mercedes simulator
We are not going to drive.
But we will join Lewis for a Lap Around Barcelona Circuit
I am scared!
We will let you know!
woooow
It's crazyyy!
you struggle a lot inside there
The whole body moves around the forces are huge on the neck
It's crazy
And he brakes sooo late!!!
One of the strikes you the most about the UK
is that you can race with literally anything
This is a Legend car
that you probably know already
Engine at the back!
A real racecar
But also with a great variety of cars
The MR2s , the Radicals, the Caterhams!
It is possible to find a race series for all pockets and budgets!
Here we have the Civics!
I had some friends racing with Civics
So If you want to participate in a car racing championship
The UK offers a lot of possibilities
like this little Formula for example
the costs are really really small
I remember that with £250 it was possible
to join a race weekend on the Toyota MR2's
The BTCC stand is really nice
The British Touring Car championship
I am next to the car of one of the greatest drivers in BTCC
Jason Plato
People are really passionate about motorsports in the UK
Touring cars are popular almost like F1
It would be nice to see the Alfa Romeo race again
In the DTM
Against the german cars
It would be interesting
And here I go back to my roots!
The formula student car of Coventry University
They were my rivals because
I was from Brunel uni and remember good battles against them
Here we find the Formula Student car of Herts Uni
Basically at university
we had to design , build and race these cars
with combustion engines.
Now they make them electric and autonomous aswell
And challenge other universities around the world
It was possible for you to drive it also as a student
It was really cool
really interesting
I learned a lot of things
I suggest you to do it!
Do you remember
In formula student
Which was the fastest university?
I remember that Zurich was really strong!
They had a LOT of money!
Then I remember Chalmers
That came from sweden, sponsored by Volvo
Zurich from BMW
And the Australian one
sponsored by KTM
At uni they teach you that with money you win. Otherwise you lose (this applies only to motorsports, not in life)
Hey guys I hope that you enjoyed the video!
The first part  ends now
In the next episode that will be out very soon
I will show you all the news in the show
regarding
rally cars, simulators, tuning
and all the most curious and crazy things about the show
