Future Publishing has published the dates for its 2012 Adrian Flux Auto Event Series.

The publisher behind magazines such as Fast Car, Fast Ford and Total Vauxhall is set to host another action-packed year, holding six high profile automotive events throughout the summer season.

Sponsored by Adrian Flux Insurance Services for the third consecutive year, the 2012 season kicks off with Europe’s biggest Japanese car show, Japfest, on Saturday 12th May at the Castle Combe Circuit. This year Japfest is celebrating its 10th anniversary, so visitors can expect the show to be bigger and better than ever.

The Classic Ford Show, the UK’s premier Classic Ford event, is second on the calendar, taking place on Sunday 27th May at Santa Pod Raceway. This is closely followed by the one-day spectacular Performance Vauxhall Show at Santa Pod on Sunday 10th June.

Japfest 2: The Evolution, is Japfest’s sister event, held at Donington Park on Sunday 8th July, whilst the world famous Silverstone Circuit plays host to Ford Fair on Sunday 12th August .

Future’s event season is rounded off in September with TRAX: The Ultimate Performance Car Event. TRAX is the UK’s biggest and best event for all performance and modified cars. Located at the heart of British Motorsport at the Silverstone Circuit, attendees can expect all day track events, thrilling stunt shows, over 3000 performance cars on display and much more. A spectacular finale to the year, TRAX is taking place on Sunday 2nd September 2012.
