Ignition Festival of Motoring, a two day event celebrating all things motoring rolls into Glasgow SECC the weekend of 5-7 August. With it comes a cavalcade of past and present racing drivers and exotic metal the likes of which have never been seen on the banks of the Clyde.
With Grand Prix winners like David Coulthard and Mark Webber confirmed to be in attendance, alongside British Touring Car legend Gordon Sheddon and professional drift wizard Shane Lynch, you can bet that speed will very much be the order of the day.
The drivers won't just be on hand to shake hands and sign autographs. Oh no, streets around the SECC are to be closed to allow these monsters of motorsport to strut their stuff. The street circuit will be opened with laps from Jimmy McRae in Colin McRae's original Subaru rally car, which will be on display for the rest weekend alongside a collection of the rally legend's cars.
Team Red Bull driver Sergio Sette Camara will be tearing up the streets around the conference centre in the Red Bull RB7 Formula One car on Friday 5th, before local legend David Coulthard takes over the wheel for the rest of the weekend.
Static displays of supercars, classics, rally cars and a special performance grid hand-picked by the crew behind Top Gear magazine will be on show, allowing unmatched access to high-end exotica. Meanwhile, Top Gear Live's stunt team will be performing for the crowds, and there are whispers hinting The Stig may make an appearance, looking to put some of the named drivers to shame.
Tickets are available from Ignition's website prior to the event. Move quick, they're sure to be the fastest-selling tickets in town.
