Fans visiting top tyre manufacturer Dunlop's stand at this weekend's Autosport International show will be able to meet Mat Jackson and see the BMW 320si he raced to second overall in 2008's HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship.
Jackson is scheduled to appear at 2.30pm on Saturday and again at 1.00pm on Sunday to sign autographs. During his 2008 season he became one of the BTCC crowd's favourites on his way to five race wins and the eventual runners-up spot.
Dunlop, the BTCC's exclusive race tyre supplier, will also be accepting entries on its stage for its 2009 Race Academy contest. Current drivers with National A or B competition licences can register - ultimately three winners will take part in a round of the Dunlop Sport Maxx Cup with the best performer then given a full drive in 2010's series. Dunlop's aim is to unearth a potential BTCC star of the future.
