PROFESSIONAL MOTORSPORT WORLD EXPO 2007 BEATS ALL EXPECTATIONS!
From the opening day of Professional MotorSport World Expo 2007, it was clear that this year’s show was destined to be a racing success! The doors had only been open for an hour when Koelnmesse’s Hall 7 was already teaming with qualified ‘trade-only’ visitors, representing a diverse range of motorsport disciplines from F1 and DTM, all the way through to the club racer. Visitors came from 50 countries, including North America, Australia and Japan, keen to check out the latest technologies from the 280 exhibitors. By the end of the three days, visitor numbers had totalled 4,900 – 35% up on the previous year!

Christian Loriaux, technical director of the Ford World Rally Team, picked up the prize for Design Engineer of the Year, while Spa-Francorchamps was a popular winner of MotorSport Facility of the Year.

Graham Johnson from UKIP Media & Events, organizer of Professional MotorSport World Expo, said, “The feedback and results from this year’s show have been nothing short of stunning. Looking at the data on the people who visited the show it’s like reading a ‘Who’s Who’ of motorsport engineering, technical people and teams.” With stand re-bookings and new bookings going on at an incredible pace, next year’s show promises to be even bigger and better again. November in Koelnmesse has now established itself as an important date in the calendar of the international racing community.
