 |
In addition, the show featured a range of formula cars, classic cars and futuristic cars. A unique characteristic of the show was the number of remote controlled and battery operated cars - the next generation automobiles on display which were demonstrated to the viewers. Apart from adding to the splendour of the event, the show was the first in the history of motor shows of this calibre. |
Mr. Nalaka Godahewa, the Chief Executive Officer of SLI said, “We are pleased at the success of this year's motor show, counting by the number of vehicle lovers who walked in each day. The feedback received was excellent, as the motor show appealed to the young and old alike. We are proud to pull off yet another eventful show with the patronage of the Classic Car Club of Ceylon who have greatly contributed to the event's overall success. As an industry leader, it is our privilege to support Sri Lanka 's motor industry and sports in this prestigious manner”. The star studded night was graced by many spectators who attended the event to witness ‘for the first time in history' all their cricketing heroes on one stage. The motor show was spearheaded by the late Mr. Mana Jayawardene, President of the Ceylon Classic Car Club since 1991. The club was started that same year with 300 members and accounted for almost 800 classic and vintage cars.Mr. Clive De Silva, President of CCCC said, “As the President of the CCCC, it gives me great pleasure to make this announcement regarding the tremendous success of the ‘FORMULA PLUS' Motor Show 2007 held at the BMICH premises on the 21, 22 nd & 23 rd September. This is the 3 rd consecutive year that the Classic Car Club of Ceylon in partnership with our sole sponsor Sri Lanka Insurance has presented this Motor Show, and judging by the tremendous enthusiasm and participation of the general public in their large numbers, may I say that ‘FORMULA PLUS' has become a benchmark for all such Motor Shows in Sri Lanka”. |
