A not to be missed chance to see some of the fastest vehicles and people on earth all in one place. Learn about how their success has been achieved and the fundamental role design, engineering and manufacturing have played in that success.

This event is specifically designed for young people, their families and teachers to see some of the vehicles and innovations first hand, hear from and talk to those involved in their successes
