Autosport show isn't the greatest thing in the world, & I too prefer Race Retro, however Haymarket must be doing something right as plenty of "general public" attend and it must make money or Haymarket would not do it. I go because I live relatively locally, because I can meet people I know, & its the nearest to a motor racing fix that i can realistically get at this time of year.

OK, its a bit expensive (but cheaper than a Premiership Football Match) & you could always go with a few mates to share petrol & parking costs. Take your own sandwiches & flask if that's also a concern. I don't really understand why people are *****ing about the show - if you don't like it, don't go, but why tell everyone that you don't like it & you are not going to go?!

As for the quality of the goods on sale, then again, no one is making you buy stuff, but I have never yet failed to get a discount whether I was buying gloves, tyres, or a new seat and I enjoy browsing around the books & framed prints sections, which I probably wouldn't bother to do if I wasn't at the show.
