Motoring madness heading for Joburg

High-octane car chases, outrageous stunts, explosive events and hilarious commentary are on their way to Johannesburg early next year, when Jeremy Clarkson will take centre stage along with some of the most spectacular cars in the world for MPH '07.

MPH started in 2003 at Earls Court in London and has grown to over 100 000 visitors. The show will be coming to The Coca-Cola Dome 8 - 11 February 2007 and is expected to attract in excess of 70 000 discerning and affluent motoring enthusiasts.

Says Craig Paterson, MD of Johnnic Communications Rights Management: "Additional interactive 4x4 exhibits, prestige car driving experiences, fun activities and demonstrations have been built in to supplement the MPH '07 Live Motoring Theatre show."

The South African event will consist of four key areas including 75 minutes of MPH Live Theatre with 10 shows over four days with 12 separate sequences.

The second key area is the motoring gallery that will showcase 24 of the world's most desirable vehicles.

The motoring pavilion will offer premium exhibition space for car manufacturers and dealers with over 6500m² of available space for custom-built exhibitions.

Finally, the Style Piazza will provide over 1200m² of exhibition space for luxury goods from jewellery, to wine, to designer toys to the latest in electronic technology, and a whole lot more.

"This means that MPH '07 - presented by Jeremy Clarkson - will provide a minimum of four hours of world-class motoring entertainment and live motoring theatre that cannot be missed!" enthuses Paterson.

Tickets for MPH '07 will be made available through Computicket from October 2006.
