Autosport International to return in 2027 with a bold new direction

For more than 30 years, Autosport International has reigned as Europe’s premier motorsport show – an annual celebration of engineering excellence, incredible innovation and a passion for speed. Hosted at the UK’s National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, the show has consistently drawn more than 90,000 visitors and 250 exhibitors each year, bringing together professional racers, engineers, manufacturers and enthusiasts from around the world under one roof.

Across its four action-packed days, Autosport International has provided an unparalleled platform for the motorsport community. Featuring championship-winning Formula 1 machinery, star driver appearances and interviews, cutting-edge race technology in the Engineering Hall, industry-leading networking opportunities and spectacular live-action displays, the show has thrilled fans year after year. It has become the fixture that kick-starts the international motorsport calendar, uniting every level of the sport from grassroots racing to the global stage.

As the industry continues to evolve, Autosport International is committed to leading that change. As part of this commitment, the show will not take place in 2026 as organisers undertake a comprehensive strategic review to redefine its vision and format. Autosport International will return in 2027 with a bold new direction, delivering a world-class experience that embodies the future of motorsport – one driven by greater access, interactivity and innovation.

This pause will allow us to reimagine Autosport International for a new era – one that continues to inspire, connect and excite everyone who shares a passion for the motorsport and performance worlds.

We look forward to sharing more updates soon as we shape the next chapter in Autosport International’s incredible journey.
