SHOW SPECIAL: ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUTOSPORT EXTRAVAGANZA

Autosport International is one of the highlights on the motorsport calendar and is a must for any petrol head, racing enthusiast or just a family looking for a fun day out.

In some ways it signals the start of the motorsport year, a time when spirits are high and expectations go into overdrive with the 2019 edition, held at its usual location of Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre across four days, being no different.

For the second year in a row the World Rally Championship was officially launched – this time on Saturday on the first public day – featuring all the cars and drivers from Toyota, Hyundai, Citroen and M-sport, as well as there being a selection of Formula 1 cars which never fail to be the centre of attention.

Here, Motorsport News staff share their highlights and the best images from another fantastic ASI.
