Crowds gathered to see the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team W10 up close, along with the 2018 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 car.
Other vehicles on display included:
- a British Touring Car from Motorbase Performance – with this year’s Touring Cars featuring hybrid technology
- Fully electric vehicles including Mahindra Racing’s Formula E car, Extreme E’s 2022 SUV, and Bambino karts developed by Total Karting Zero
- A 1963 Jaguar E-Type and Caterham Seven Roadsport that can run on sustainable fuels
- The Prodrive Hunter that won a stage in the famous Dakar Rally powered by sustainable fuels.
Greg said, "I was very grateful to Mr Speaker for hosting us, including a reception with Karun Chandhok, Paddy Lowe, James Allison, Stafano Domenicali and more. Where motorsport leads, other sectors benefit from their cutting edge technology. It is vital we capitalise on this for the future of the UK and sustainability."
