What is
COVENTRY
MOTOFEST
2015
MotoFest returns to Coventry for its second year in 2015 to
transform the city’s centre and renowned ring road into a fun-fuelled
stage to show off an array of spectacular vehicles from the past,
present and future. Taking advantage of Coventry’s unique heritage
as the spiritual home of the British motor industry, the free motoring
extravaganza – which last year saw 70,000 fans enjoy over 400 cars
– will once again celebrate the city’s automotive and engineering
pedigree with an exciting display of current and historic cars.
The ring road will again become a dedicated course to showcase
these memorable motors – including race and rally machines – in
motion as part of the event’s climactic pace car-led cavalcade. Read
on to find out more about MotoFest’s thrilling schedule of events
and activities.

MotoFest Young Innovators
The MotoFest Young Innovators
competition was launched in November
2014 with a brief to the youngsters
taking part to design a ‘Pace Car’ to
lead the race cars around Coventry
Motofest 2015’s unique ring road track.
Invitations were sent out to 120 schools
for up to 20,000 children to take part.
The winning design was created by
seven year old Esha Randhawa from
Stivichall Primary School in Coventry and
includes solar panels, voice control and
sliding doors.
Esha’s two dimensional drawings have
been turned into full 3D models by
Young Innovators is supported by:
design students at Coventry University using its advanced design and creation
systems. Esha and her fellow pupils
visited the Automotive and Transport
Design department and were inspired to
see their designs come to life.
Her winning design has been turned into
a real working vehicle by Jaguar Land
Rover Special Vehicle Operations at their
new Coventry-based Technical Centre
and will lead all the racing on Coventry’s
Ring Road circuit during the 2015 event.
Fuzz Townsend, presenter of Channel 4’s
Car SOS programme will be unveiling
