Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The international short circuit and rallycross show at the Brentwood Exhibition Centre this weekend promises to be a colourful affair. Seventy cars and 50 trade stands will represent every aspect of circuit racing from autograss to long track oval racing. Modified road cars such as Ford Escorts and Mondeos to single-seat racing cars will be on show. Designs from the new Euro 2000 rallycross formula, which comes into force next year, will be exhibited and there will be plenty of opportunities to get close to the cars and talk to the world and European champion drivers. Ian McKellar, the world hot rod champion from Essex, will be on hand and he will be joined by Rob Speak, the world Formula Two champion from Manchester, and Steve Sworder, the world "super stox" champion based in the Midlands. Demonstrations will include racing with scaled-down models of the cars on show.
How to get there: Brentwood Exhibition Centre, Doddinghurst Road, Brentwood, Essex, is close to junction 28 of M25. (Tel: 01277-215151). The show is open from 10am until 5.30pm tomorrow and Sunday. Admission: pounds 6 adults, pounds 3 children/OAPs.
