GLORIOUS cars and people who love them converged on Hedsor House in Taplow.

The Inside Automotive event at the country house in Hedsor Park was curated by industry professionals and drivers. It was hosted by TV presenter Nicki Shields.

A panel of experts including Formula F1 driver Karun Chandok and British racing driver Matt Howson were there to answer questions. Topics covered ranged from branding and marketing to media profiling and sponsorship.

Guests were also allowed to try their hand on the 4x4 off-road track around Hedsor House’s grounds and to test-drive Tesla electric cars.

Nicki Shields had a great time.

She said: 'I'm so pleased our first Inside automotive was such a success. The beautiful setting of Hedsor House in the sunshine was the perfect location to complement the day's activities and seminars.

"It provided a very impressive and quintessentially English backdrop for the day's events.

"The high calibre of both speakers and guests was fantastic and I can't wait to start planning the next Inside automotive as it will only continue to grow. Thanks to everyone involved."
