MPH 06 moves up a gear with new faces

Richard Hammond and James May will join Jeremy Clarkson to co-host this year’s MPH auto-fest extravaganza.

The trio will bring a world of 3D car chases, high-octane stunts and explosive action to life when MPH 06 – powered by Shell V-Power – visits Birmingham’s NEC between 26-29 October and London’s Earls Court from 2-5 November.

MPH promises to be bigger, bolder and brasher than ever before, with the centrepiece 75-minute show costing a cool £2m to stage.

In between live performances, visitors can gawp and gander at the biggest collection of performance cars ever amassed in one place, as well as learning more about events like the highly exclusive Gumball 3000, handle the latest gadgets and marvel at some of the maddest modifications around in the Sony Ericsson Studio.

Tickets are on sale now at www.mphshow.co.uk and cost between £22 and £49 per person with three shows scheduled per day (four on Saturday).
