On the 8th and 9th of December 2007 saw the 2nd London
Motorsport show take place at the ExCel centre in Docklands.
Girlracer had an impressive stand featuring many of
the top female drivers in British Motorsport. There
was the MG belonging to the most successful woman to
race in the BTCC, Fiona Leggate, soon to be British
GT driver, Anna Walewska with her Dodge Viper, Cassey
Watson, an upcoming driver in the Ginetta Junior championship
and Dawn Boyd from the Uk Mini Challenge Championship.
Also present were the 2006 Silverstone rally school
Ladyquest winner, Beck Kirvan, and VW racer Karen Andrews
and Autograss racer Michaela Bevans. It wasn't just
four wheeled Motorsport that was represented as the
impressive Motorcycle racer Sam Burnam had her bike
on the stand. Even Motorsport on the water was covered
with National and European Championship winning Power
Boat racer Sarah Donohue sharing her experiences, which
even include Stunt driving for a James Bond Movie
The stand formed part of a women in Motorsport display
designed to encourage potential upcoming female racing
drivers to take an interest in the sport. The other
purpose of the stand was to launch the Brand new Girlracer
product GR1, a Fragance designed to make both your car
and house smell amazing!
The stand was the busiest in the whole show with all
the drivers talking to huge numbers of people throughout
the two days, hopefully encouraging many more women
to enter what has until recently, been a male dominated
sport. The entire Girlracer range of products was on
display throughout the stand and proved to be very popular
with visitors.
Director Gary Wood declared the event to be a huge
success, "It's been a fantastic event, but very
tiring!" he said after the show.
The next big Motorsport show is the annual Autosport
event at the NEC in January where there should be another
Girlracer stand. We hope to see you there!
