Daventry, UK, 12th May 2021 – Premium tyre maker Hankook is announced as official tyre sponsor at Supercar Fest for a second year. After the event’s hugely successful debut in 2019 at Shelsley Walsh, event organisers will be hosting two events throughout 2021. Supercar Fest: The Runway will take place on 30th May at Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire, which will see the supercars go head-to-head on a one kilometre runway whilst Supercar Fest: The Hill Climb will be returning to the historic Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb, in the heart of the picturesque Worcestershire countryside on 29th August 2021, to show off the very best of the supercars’ handling capabilities as they ascend the hill climb.  Both events will offer non-stop action, including exclusive supercar, classic car and motorsport demo runs, trade stands, live music, and the chance to get up close and personal with the cars in ‘The Paddock’.
