Further to the Win an Atom prize (now awarded last friday), is anyone else totally confused by the related event that Ariel are at this 'weekend' ?
I think it's the NEC Performance Car Show 12-15th Jan, or is it 14-15th Jan? but there's also an Autosport International Racing Car Show 12-15th Jan event at the same venue in parallel with this. Tickets get you into both (maybe) but it now seems that thurs and friday are trade folk only?
PistonHeads seem to have some interest in one of these events (the Ariel attended one?), but if you go to the web site, there's loads of stuff on it from the 2010 and 2011 event!? - "Come to the event this year and see the new Mugen"
I was hoping to go with a colleague on friday, but we've backed out now due to a complete failure of the organisers to explain themselves. - No way I'd go at the weekend, it'll be manic!
Grrr ..

It's quite simple.
Autosport and Pistonheads are both owned by the same publishing company.
The events that they sponsor i.e. The Racing Car Show and the Performance Car Show share the venue. A ticket for one gets you into the other.
Trade days are really just more expensive public days actually, as anyone can get a ticket.
It's not rocket science...
I'm off to the Boat show now... on the weekend, that'll turn into four other shows as well, all entered using the same ticket.
