My fascination with cars began when I raced my first Hotwheels toy car when I was three and today that fascination has grown into a passion. What better place to see your passion for cars manifest in the flesh in India other than the Auto Expo event? The Auto Expo is the biggest automotive show in India, held once every two years. After a miss last year due to COVID-19 restrictions, the much-awaited event has returned after three years to India Expo Mart in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh.
