The Comma Caterham Drive Experience welcomed some 2,000 members of the public and gave them the ride of their life around a purpose-built drift course, with a professional driver at the wheel of the lightweight Seven.

Comma is a long-time technical partner to Caterham, adding its expertise and products to a car that has stayed true to the original 1950s design of the legendary Colin Chapman.

With slalom sections, donuts and plenty of tyre-squealing action, the Comma experience did not disappoint those of the 90,000 strong crowd that visited Europe's largest dedicated motorsport exhibition.

Comma's Mike Bewsey said: "Caterham is our longest-standing motorsport partner and the adrenalin-fuelled experiences like the one we gave visitors to the show this weekend is the reason why. Comma has a passion for performance and you don't get much more exciting than the full-throttle drive of a Seven. The show was an excellent opportunity for us to connect with like-minded car enthusiasts and to give them the ride of their life."

This year's show marked the return of the CDX event after a two-year absence - the experience is normally run at race circuits across the UK, like Brands Hatch and Silverstone.
