Rally Display

A delight for all rally fans, the Rally Display at Autosport International is one of the highlights of the show each year. You will see the latest cars from top categories of the sport including WRC in a custom built "environment" setting. At the 2009 show, the Rally Display featured a snow theme.

30 year's of the WRC

For 2010 the Rally Display feature will focus on celebrating 30 year’s of the WRC, displaying iconic cars from the era. Leading the way this year will be two of Prodrive’s Subarus that Britain’s only World Rally champions scored success with. The 1995 title-winner Colin McRae’s Impreza 555 will be there alongside the 2000 Safari Rally Subaru Impreza WRC that 2001 champion Richard Burns took to victory in Kenya.

The World Rally Feature takes show visitors into the ’80s as well, with 1982 champion Walter Rohrl’s Opel Ascona 400 representing the early years of the series. Alongside the Opel will be the spectacular Group B Peugeot 205 T16 that won the 1985 and ’86 championships driven by Timo Salonen and Juha Kannunen respectively.

Other notable machines on the display include the Group A Lancia Delta Integrale, a Mitsubishi Lancer, the Ford Focus WRC, and that perennial rally fan’s favourite, the MG Metro 6R4. Bringing 30 years of modern era world rallying up-to-date will be Sebastien Loeb’s championship-winning Citroen C4.

Rally in the Live Action arena
For those who want to see and hear the cars in their full glory, legendary cars from Audi and Lancia will be running in the infamous Live Action Arena. The stunning Group B Audi Sport Quattro will be in the hands of 1984 World Rally Champion, Stig Blomqvist, while the iconic Lancia Stratos from the early 1970s, still considered by many to be the best looking, and sounding, rally car ever built, will be put through its paces by triple British Rally Champion Mark Higgins.
