Mechanic and motorcycle racer turned television presenter, Guy Martin, will officially open The Big UK Garage Event at Automechanika Birmingham 2019, held at the NEC from 4 to 6 June.

But, in recent years, his career has taken off in a different direction presenting the series How Britain Worked and Speed with Guy Martin.
Guy undertook a series of speed-based challenges, exploring the boundaries of physics and learning about the science of speed. During the series Guy broke the British record for outright speed on a bicycle, hitting an amazing 122.4 mph and smashed the world gravity-powered sledge speed record.
Guy Martin has written three books about his life, releasing his autobiography Guy Martin: My Autobiography, in 2014. It reached No.1 in The Sunday Times bestseller list. Guy also writes for the driving section of The Sunday Times newspaper.
