Chris Evans and Adrian Newey with the Red Bull RB6 F1 car

Chris Evans, the DJ, owns some of the world’s most desirable classic cars, while Adrian Newey, Red Bull F1’s chief technical officer, has designed some of the world’s greatest racing cars. Evans will find out what makes the motor designer tick in a live Q&A on Thursday, January 8, surrounded by some of Newey’s most successful F1 racing cars, at the Adrian Newey tribute area.

Maserati 250F

Want to know what a Maserati straight-six sounds and smells like? The Grand Parade features 40 of the most desirable classics of all time roaring up the signature road (or pottering, in the case of some vintage models).

Steve McQueen and Ferrari 512 Le Mans car

Brits have been making the pilgrimage across the Channel to Le Mans ever since the first 24-hour race in 1923. Now Le Mans comes to London, and one of the star cars is the Ferrari 512 that appeared in the Le Mans movie alongside Steve McQueen.

Michael Schumacher’s Benetton B193 (1993)

The Motor Sport Hall of Fame celebrates the achievements of Michael Schumacher as well as the Benetton B192 that put the German driver on the map, powering him to his first victory at the 1992 Belgian Grand Prix.

James Martin and some grub

Grub’s up! James Martin loves classic cars nearly as much as he loves cooking, so it’s no surprise that the chef has given a motoring theme to the food served at his Classic Cafe. A sausage sandwich deep-fried in Castrol engine oil, anyone?

James May

Captain Slow has chosen his most significant classic cars of all time. if you don’t agree, argue your point on Thursday when May will reveal his 13th, winning car at the show.
