As well as a British Touring Car Championship presence (more details to be revealed soon!) a host of stars and cars will gather at the NEC in Birmingham on 9-12 January 2014 for the annual Autosport International show.

The only man to win World Championships on two and four wheels, John Surtees, headlines the Autosport International 2014 guest list, starting celebrations to mark 50 years since his Formula One World Championship with Ferrari, the last time a British driver secured the title for the famous Prancing Horse.

Now with 12 wins in the revered 24 Hours of Le Mans between them, newly-crowned FIA World Endurance Champions Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish will reflect on yet another amazing season.

Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle will review the 2013 Formula One season, look ahead to 2014 and its new technical regulations and share stories about his own career in motorsport, which includes 12 seasons in Formula One and victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Jaguar. Fresh from the 2013 season with Sahara Force India Formula One team, in which he started his 100th Grand Prix, Adrian Sutil will give a drivers' perspective on the pinnacle of the sport on Sunday 12 January.
