A MAJOR motoring event in Coventry is set to return this summer with a huge new exhibition space featuring some of the world’s most iconic vehicles.
MotoFest will be returning in June with the addition of a new Performance and Tuning village sure to attract the region’s petrolheads.
Motofest – the largest free urban motorsport festival in the UK – lasts two days and is dedicated to Coventry’s motoring heritage.
An area within the main festival hub at Greyfriars Green in the city centre will see an array of well-known performance, tuning and modifying brands exhibiting cars and products, promoters say.
It will provide visitors with the opportunity to drop in and see a whole range of modified metal and power packed machines.
The Performance and Tuning village will also sit alongside the new supercar paddock, creating a huge dedicated display space.
Many of the cars on display will also be seen out on track during the festival weekend.
As a taster of what’s to come in June, a range of performance cars including Nankang Tyres modified Ford Mustang ‘Apocalypse’ car, Miltek’s VW Up GTi and Scorpion Exhaust’s MK7.5 Golf R and a BMW S1000RR were on Wednesday (March 6) put through their paces at the West Orchards centre.
Festival director James Noble said: “We are excited to announce the new Performance and Tuning village.
“If the festival wasn’t already a petrolheads paradise, this new addition takes it to another level for those who enjoy seeing high end, performance cars up close, both on the track and on display.
“It’s another thrilling addition to the event and is the first in a series of new attractions we have planned for the festival, which we will be unveiling in the upcoming months.”
