"The fantastic Demonstration Straight is set to be an unmissable highlight of the festival and will be the first time a UK coastal destination has created a specially-made course.

Four groups, each made up of six cars, will tear along the East Overcliff Drive circuit – see Formula One cars, Le Mans cars, supercars and two Moto GP bikes!

The F1 cars are Michael Schumacher’s 1992 Bennetton, a 1989 Camel Lotus 101, which was driven by world champion Nelson Piquet and Satoru Nakajima and a 1984 Toleman once driven by Ayrton Senna.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is one of the best know and most prestigious sports car race in the world and some of the cars which actually took part in the race will be here in Bournemouth at the festival, including the rare and desirable Ferrari Daytona Competition raced by Maranello Concessionaires in the 1970s. Plus, the Ferrari TRC 500 which finished seventh in the 1957 race and a Ford GT40 raced by Jochen Rindt and Lotus Formula One driver Innes Ireland.

Also, taking to the Demonstration straight will be the 2001 Orange Arrows A22 driven by Jos Verstappen, and the 1987 Arrows A10 Megatron Turbo driven by former British racing driver Derek Warwick.

Watch out for supercar and Moto GP bikes announcements coming soon."
