ELITE sports and supercars are set to be showcased at speeds of up to 200 mph on a runway near York this summer.

The Supercar Spectacle, featuring more than 60 such vehicles, will be staged at Elvington Airfield on August 20.

"With two miles of runway available and expected speeds in excess of 200mph from the world’s most sought-after supercars, this event offers one of the only places in the UK to watch supercars hit their top speeds,"said a spokesman.

On top of the runway action, there will be a variety of special cars on show, car club displays, a supercar paddock, delicious food and drink from a range of vendors and a retail village full of automotive accessories, clothing, and memorabilia.
